Overview

Blazing-fast 4TB external SSD with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 speeds up to 2000MB/s. Perfect for content creators with massive file libraries.

High-Speed USB Pro Analysis

Pro-grade USB storage: the Samsung T9 Portable 4TB hits 2.0 GB/s reads and 1.9 GB/s writes for a fraction of Thunderbolt pricing.

USB Speed Done Right

Think of the Samsung T9 Portable 4TB as Thunderbolt performance without the Thunderbolt price. 2.0 GB/s reads and 1.9 GB/s writes over USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 handle 4K/6K video, massive photo catalogs, and frequent large file transfers with room to spare.

Port Flexibility

Unlike Thunderbolt drives, the Samsung T9 Portable 4TB works with any USB-C or USB-A port, though Gen 2×2 speeds require a compatible host 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.

Who it serves

  • Video editors who need fast external storage but cannot justify Thunderbolt prices
  • Content creators editing 4K video directly from external storage
  • IT professionals deploying bootable external drives for diagnostics and recovery
  • Creative teams sharing project files between workstations without a NAS

Few ultrabooks include true Gen 2x2 ports. Without one, this drive performs like a fast 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 drive.

  • 4TB capacity with 2000MB/s read speeds
  • USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface
  • Sleek all-aluminum build
  • 5-year warranty
  • Samsung Magician software support
