T9 is a good drive!
What can i say? Top of the line storage. Its fast and portable. The program it comes with can be useful, and the drive itself can play AAA games from it through steam. Pretty good stuff!

Everything I needed
Needed a larger capacity external fire for my photo library and this fit the bill. It’s fast, runs cool, feels sturdy and has a nice long cable. No complaints.

Perfect Portable SSD for Photography & Mac Backups
I use this Samsung T9 2TB SSD primarily for photography work and as a backup drive for my Mac, and it has been outstanding. The speed alone makes this drive worth every penny—transfers are extremely fast and consistent. When I’m moving large RAW files, Lightroom catalogs, or full session folders, the T9 easily keeps up and saves me a ton of time. The advertised speeds (up to 2,000 MB/s) feel real in day-to-day use. Setup on my Mac was instant. It’s fully compatible with macOS, and formatting it to APFS for Time Machine/Backups took less than a minute. Since then, it’s been rock-solid for both manual backups and automatic system backups. No connection drops, no overheating issues, and it handles long transfers without throttling. For photography, this drive is incredibly reliable as an on-the-go storage solution. It’s compact, durable, lightweight, and feels premium. I’ve tossed it in my camera bag and traveled with it—never had a single issue. The textured design also gives it a great grip, so it doesn’t slide around like other SSDs. If you’re a photographer, videographer, or Mac user looking for a dependable, high-speed portable SSD for editing or backups, the Samsung T9 is honestly one of the best options available. Fast, secure, durable, and extremely easy to use. Highly recommended.
