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.

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!

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.

Incredible value for a such an expansive portable storage solution; works great with gaming consoles and computers! No real install to worry about, just plug and play. Best console use for PS4/Xbox One and older games. Newer PS5 and XSX games cannot be run straight from drive and must be transferred back to console storage to play.

Super fast and easy to set up on my new Mac Mini. Had it working at super high transfer speeds from the thunderbolt port. Works like its internal and super fast.

Had to buy this for work to back up thousands of documents. I was so impressed with the speed at which this thing can download and upload huge file sizes and in large quantities! I ended up buying the same thing in a smaller size for personal use.

Connected T9 to Mac. The HD backup was quick and had no problems.

This drive has it all. Speed, portability, the size is about half an inch thick, and the footprint is covers the same space as a credit card. Well worth it. I use this drive primarily for transferring large files so there is plenty of space to work with too.

The 2 TB version is so worth it. I edited a video project off of it that was about 1TB and everything imported and uploaded smoothly. It’s so nice and compact as well.

The Samsung T9 2TB SSD is lightning fast — transfers large 4K files in seconds. Perfect for editing straight from the drive or backing up footage on the go. Compact, durable, and doesn’t overheat even during long transfers. USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds are no joke. If you need dependable high-speed storage, this is one of the best options out there.

Using this to keep my professional photography works on and work off of. Note: I back up to 2 separate Seagate 20TB hard drives as I work on the files. This Samsung - T9 Portable SSD 2TB is fast and offers me plenty of space for what storage I need. Thanks Samsung and Best Buy.
