Our verdict
The price gap here is £146, and so is the performance gap. SIMMAX's 32GB swivel drive runs on USB 2.0, works with pretty much any operating system going, and at £7.99 is the sort of thing you buy in case you lose it, which its 4.4 rating from 18,003 reviews suggests owners accept happily. The Samsung T7 is a 1TB external SSD on USB 3.2 Gen 2 with password protection, and 40,634 buyers rate it 4.7. For handing homework to a printer shop, SIMMAX. For moving big files quickly and securely, the T7 is worth every pound.
