Samsung has taken a leap in storage technology with the unveiling of its latest offering, the Portable SSD T9. This cutting-edge solid-state drive (SSD) boasts an impressive sequential read and write speed of up to 2,000 MB/s, all thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface. The SSD comes in three storage options: 1TB, 2TB, and a capacious 4TB.
Blazing Speed and Enhanced Efficiency
Samsung’s T9 SSD represents a substantial improvement, with speeds nearly twice as fast as its predecessor, the T7, which was recognized as one of the best portable SSDs by Engadget.
