What customers say
Users overwhelmingly praise the Samsung Portable SSD T9 for its exceptional speed and robust portability.

Know before you buy
The T9 supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, which allows for sequential read speeds of up to 2,000MB/s. To achieve these maximum speeds, ensure your computer or device also supports the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface.
Yes, the drive is backward compatible with older USB standards, but you will not reach the maximum 2,000MB/s transfer speeds. If your device uses a different port type, you may need a compatible adapter or cable to connect.
2TB provides significant space for most creative workflows and game collections. It can comfortably hold several hours of 4K footage or dozens of modern AAA games, though your specific file sizes will determine exactly how much it can store.
The T9 is designed for portability and features a robust, compact build that handles travel well. While it is built for reliability, it is always a good practice to keep it in a protective sleeve to prevent scratches or impact damage during transit.
The drive is plug-and-play, meaning it will work immediately as external storage on most operating systems. However, Samsung provides optional management software that can be useful for firmware updates and security features.
