    This is my main SSD. It works super great I thought the price was very fair for what I got. Speed is excellent. Very portable and small. Doesn’t make any noise and it came with two different cords to hook to your laptop. One usb and one usbc. I’m very happy with this purchase.

    I made this purchase b/c one of my personal external drives (Seagate) again seems to have failed me. I spent x2 Seagate External drives b/c one always fails me. Upon learning Samsung produced a few options I chose that I do not need the super drop or water resistant option b/c it’s home kept. If you backpack or use it more often - taking a USB for school, work- not safe kept- then get the one that fits your style of usage. (I also think their TV’s are great 5/5 too)

    There's an app for increasing protection in it, but honestly you can ignore that and just plug it in. Regarding performance, it can run games much faster than my HDD. Loading times are quicker on ever game I've installed in it so far.

    I purchased this as a way to bring my photo collection to an SSD. Even though I'm not able to take full advantage of its speed via USB 3.2, Gen 2, using USB 3.0 gives me an excellent performance increase over my internal spinny drive. Samsung's suggest price, at $460, is a little pricey, but Best Buy's current sale price of $299 makes it more affordable. If you're looking for a quality external SSD snap it up before the sale ends.

    Much smaller than I expected for a 4TB drive - it's a little smaller than a deck of cards in profile. So far it seems to be very fast on data transfer and opening files

    The Samsung T9 4TB has been a game changer for handling large video projects. Transfer speeds are consistently close to the advertised numbers — moving 100GB of footage takes just a few minutes. It stays cool even during longer transfers, and the rubberized exterior feels durable enough to handle travel and daily use. The compact size is great for slipping into a camera bag, and it works seamlessly across Mac and Windows with the included cables. My only gripe is the price, but considering the speed, reliability, and capacity, it feels justified. If you work with big files like 4K/8K video or RAW photos, this SSD is absolutely worth it. It’s fast, tough, and gives you peace of mind knowing your projects are safe.

    Bought this bc my lg gram kept struggling with adobe creative cloud apps, was hoping it would give me some time before a laptop upgrade is non-negotiable and so far so good. Had chatGPT guide me through all the settings in the apps and in my system, and its definitley made a very noticeable difference to my workflow. My laptop doesnt get bogged down and almost melt down from the heat, and the t9 hardly gets warm at all. I without it i was constantly getting held up due to apps crashing, super slow processing. So far ive had none of those issues. The only thing id change about it is i wish it would attach to the back of the screen to stay out of the way. Very happy with it!
