Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Great Price When on Sale. I got T9 4TB... Used It To Backup a Smartphone with 1TB storage ( twice ) before giving to Bbuy for repair... Super Fast & Very Tiny... I Was Able To Connect Drive Directly To S23 Ultra 1TB...

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.

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

Great speeds and portable form factor for a large USB-C storage drive.

it is fast and compact! Smaller than a deck of cards

I purchased this external ssd to quickly transfer drone videos/pictures to and from my laptop/pc/phone. Fast speeds. You will not be disappointed.

Easy to use! Very fast for editing 4k footage off of it. This is my go to drive for all my editing.

This is actually my 2nd one now. Never had any corrupt file, fast read/write. The SSD has a rugged case on it and anti slip. 5 star product.

This lovely drive has enabled me to continue gaming on a high usage game without having to purchase an entirely new computer.

The Samsung T9 4TB SSD is an absolute game-changer. As someone who frequently transfers large files and works with demanding applications, this drive has exceeded all my expectations. The read and write speeds are incredibly fast, making file transfers a breeze. The 4TB capacity provides ample space for all my projects, backups, and media. The sleek, compact design is perfect for portability without compromising durability—it feels solid and reliable in hand. Setup was quick and easy, and it’s compatible across all my devices. Whether you’re a professional or just someone looking for reliable, high-capacity storage, the T9 is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

The Samsung T9 Portable SSD 4TB is a standout storage device. Its compact and lightweight design makes it incredibly portable, easily fitting in your pocket or bag. The SSD runs quietly and stays cool during operation, showcasing excellent power efficiency. Performance-wise, it’s incredibly fast, with transfer speeds of up to 2,000MB/s via USB 3.2 Gen2, making it perfect for transferring large files or running demanding applications directly off the drive. This device combines speed, efficiency, and convenience in a sleek, durable package. Highly recommended for professionals and casual users alike!

Great portable drive for a great price. Measuring sequential read speeds of 1,101 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 1,066 MB/s through front panel USB 3.1. In addition, it has a surprisingly small form factor for the amount of storage, and is much more convenient to take on the go than an external HDD. I am very satisfied with the price point and performance of this product. In addition, the rubberized case makes it feel rugged and secure were you to happen to drop it. Product includes the drive, one USB C to C cable, and one USB A to C cable.

I needed an external drive for my iPhone 15 Pro max to record ProRes 4K60. All other modes of video on the iPhone record internally. I had a Samsung T7 2tb ssd drive and tried it first. It worked perfectly with no lag in the video. I tried a 6m (almost 10ft!) thunderbolt 4 cable and it still worked well with no problems. I found this 4tb ssd drive and bought it. Just plugged it in and again it perfectly worked even with a 6m thunderbolt 4 cable. This means I can keep the drive in my coat pocket or a backpack while plugged into the iPhone. The iPhone sees the drives so there is nothing to do to use it. You can view the drive in the files app on the phone. I tried copy/paste from the Photos app to move a few videos to the drive. It was quick. Useful for moving large files to your computer. You can also move files from your computer to your iPhone. With the empty 4tb drive the iPhone says it can record 289 minutes of ProRes 4k60 video. Plenty of room. There was no noticeable battery drain on the iPhone either. I did test the cable it came with versus the thunderbolt 4 cable. There was only a slight difference in speed, not enough to require the thunderbolt 4 cable. A one minute video comes out to 13gb which is why an external drive is necessary to record 4k60 ProRes. Overall, I’m happy with the performance and ease of use.

Exactly what you want from a drive like this. Rugged, fast, HUGE. I've had San Disks fail me, but not never Samsung. Tech is tech and all are liable but great track record here.

With working with a lot of files, this drive allows me to transfer and work at high speeds. All while being a reliable drive. I’ve been using Samsung SSD’s for a long a time and I plan to keep buying them. They’ve been proven to be reliable and very portable with durability. This is my go-to drive.

When on sale for $250, you can't beat a blazing fast 4TB portable SSD (same price as a 4TB T7 but faster as long as you have the correct USB-C USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port). Plenty of space if you take photos/videos to download on the go to clear up your cards space. I recommend it (on sale that is).

As a photographer I'd always used conventional external hard drives to store archived catalogs and images. However, I found them exceptionally slow to retrieve data when needed. I'd read the really good reviews about the Samsung $9 and decided to buy the 4TB drive to replace my older external drives. I have to say, I'm very impressed with the exceptional speed to the T9. I just wish I'd invested in one much sooner. For photographer's and videographers in need of an external drive, this is the one.
