Our Take

The Samsung T9 is a high-performance portable SSD aimed at content creators who regularly move large video files or work directly from external storage. Offering genuine USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds and a 4TB capacity, it sits at the premium end of the portable drive market, competing on both speed and ruggedness.

Key Features

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface delivering up to 2,000MB/s sequential read and write speeds

4TB storage capacity in a single portable unit

Drop resistance rated up to 3 metres

Rubber outer casing providing grip and physical shock protection

Compatible with Mac, Windows, and Android devices

Compact, pocket-sized form factor with no external power supply required

Our Verdict

If you regularly work with large video or RAW photo files and your machine has a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, the T9 4TB is an excellent, durable choice. Those with older hardware will be bottlenecked and should consider something less expensive — the speed advantage simply won't materialise.

What We Like

  • Consistently fast real-world speeds make it genuinely usable for editing 4K footage directly from the drive
  • 4TB in this form factor removes the need to carry multiple smaller drives
  • Sturdy build feels noticeably more robust than many rival portable SSDs

Things to Consider

  • Full 2,000MB/s speeds require a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, which remains uncommon on many laptops
  • Premium capacity comes at a premium price compared with competing drives
  • Heavier and bulkier than slimmer portable SSDs such as the Samsung T7
