Blazing-fast Gen 2x2 speeds in a compact, stylish design. Perfect for content creators working with large files.
High-Speed USB Pro Analysis
The Samsung Samsung T9 Portable SSD delivers 1.9 GB/s writes and 1.0TB capacity - pro-grade speed without the Thunderbolt price premium.
Pro-Grade USB Performance
USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 unlocks a 20 Gbps pipeline, and the Samsung T9 Portable SSD uses every bit of it. With 2.0 GB/s reads and 1.9 GB/s writes, this drive handles 4K and 6K video editing directly from the drive - a 50GB file transfers in ~26 seconds, making it a strong alternative to Thunderbolt solutions for professionals on a budget.
Universal Compatibility
Unlike Thunderbolt drives, the Samsung T9 Portable SSD works with any USB-C or USB-A port, though Gen 2×2 speeds require a compatible port. Connected to a standard USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, it still delivers up to 10 Gbps - enough for fast backups and everyday transfers. This makes it a versatile companion across different machines.

- Content creators editing video directly from external storage
- Professionals who move large files between Mac and PC
