It offers storage options up to 4TB, delivering fast data transfer speed and ample storage capacity, all while ensuring the reliability and convenience that the users require.

Apart from the sleek design, T9 features lightning-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface, delivering increased productivity with up to 2,000 MB/s read/write speeds. This makes T9 a worry-free choice for content creators, freeing up time for creativity.

 

“In a high-resolution content landscape, the T9 is the answer for professionals seeking solutions for challenges such as data management, transferring large files, and durability and performance issues. Samsung’s Portable SSD T9 empowers modern content creators by addressing those data challenges and providing memory solutions that enhance their creative aspirations,” said Puneet Sethi, Vice President, Consumer Electronics Enterprise Business, Samsung India.

 

Superior Performance and Massive Storage Capacity

With maximum sequential read/write speeds reaching 2,000 MB/s on the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface, the T9 outpaces the former T7, by nearly double the speed. This means you can move a 4GB Full HD video in approximately two seconds.

Available in three different capacities – 1TB, 2TB and 4TB – the T9 caters to diverse needs of creators. It is designed for quick and frequent transfers while providing substantial storage space for large data volumes. T9’s sleek and credit-card-sized design lets users take their creative inspiration, wherever they go.

 

Luxury Added to Ruggedness

The T9 delivers not only functional advantages but also unique design benefits under the concept of ‘luxury added to ruggedness’.

It combines style and durability, like a high-end wallet, with its elegant design and rugged build. The T9’s rubber exterior ensures a comfortable grip, and guards against low-temperature burns.

 

Unmatched Reliability and Thermal Control

Backed by a five-year limited warranty and resistant to drops from heights of up to three meters, the T9 guarantees the safety and security of your invaluable data. With this assurance, creators can fearlessly embark on their most ambitious projects.

This rugged drive comes with Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology that efficiently mitigates performance dips caused by overheating, ensuring consistent and speedy transfer rates. Additionally, the T9 complies with the international safety standard IEC 62368-1, making it the perfect choice for a wide array of demanding tasks with minimal heat generation.

 

Manage T9 with Samsung Magician Software 8.0

The Samsung Magician software provides an enhanced experience for users through features such as performance benchmark, security functions, firmware updates and real time health status check.

Firmware update is a very important feature for memory products, and the Magician software is ready to solve any field issues that might occur. With the new 8.0 version released in September 2023, all Samsung software such as Data migration, PSSD software and Card authentication tool will be integrated to the Magician software and the OS support range will be expanded, for Windows, Mac and Android user convenience.

 

Seamless Compatibility

Samsung’s Portable SSD T9 is the result of the Company’s extensive experience in SSD technology. The T9 aligns perfectly with USB Type-C power specifications, ensuring it seamlessly integrates into the workflows of professional creators.

Also, its cross-platform compatibility extends to Windows, macOS, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, and high-resolution cameras. Plus, the T9 package is complete with USB Type C-to-C and USB Type C-to-A cables.

The Samsung T9 guarantees uninterrupted high-resolution video recording with its exceptional sustained write performance. It can be directly connected to an 8K or 12K high-resolution camera for seamless use.

Its TurboWrite technology ensures fast speeds during data transfer, enhancing the overall user experience. With buffer sizes that are up to three times larger than those of its competitors, the T9 is specifically optimized for content creators.
