Designed with content creators in mind, the Samsung 4TB T9 Portable SSD offers impressive performance upgrades compared to its predecessor, the T7. With a sequential read speed of up to 2,000 MB/s, the T9 nearly doubles the speed of the T7. The sequential write speed is also impressive, reaching up to 1950 MB/s. Photographers will appreciate the T9's sustained write speed of up to 1000 MB/s (after Turbowrite).
One notable improvement is the inclusion of a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, enabling a maximum throughput of up to 20 Gb/s. This ensures fast data transfer rates and efficient workflow. In terms of design, the T9 boasts curved diagonal lines and reverse carbon patterns, giving its rubber surface a fabric-like texture and a soft touch.
Additionally, the T9 offers low idle power consumption and reliable durability, making it a dependable companion in the field. It is important to note that to fully experience the advertised speeds, it is necessary to have a computer or host device that is certified to support the 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connection. It's also important to mention that Apple devices, including those with Thunderbolt/USB4, do not support the 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 and will be limited to 10 Gb/s USB 3.2 Gen 2.
