Wonderfully Fast

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

Seems plenty durable, not that it's moved from my desk. But it is wonderfully fast and a cost effective extension to my desktop's storage capacity. Handles 4k raw footage just fine.

Not Faster On Mac - Just More Expensive

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

Macs do not have the ability to take full advantage of this drive - Macs don't support USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2. And, it only copies faster for extremely large files. The largest file on my and likely your computer is ~8 GB or smaller. At these sizes even if your computer does support USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2, you won't see a speed improvement. Also, with older Macs like the 2015 Retina, the EVO line is just as fast. All external Samsung SSDs run at around 350 MB/s read/write or slower if they're getting full. The smaller size and durability of the Samsung T7 drives make them a great choice. Skip the T9 if you have a Mac - even an M2, because you won't see faster speeds than T7, you just pay more for T9.

I just did a write test for 4TB T9, T7, and Evo drives on an 8.58 GB file (my largest file). Time to copy for the drives were 20 sec., 20 sec., and 25 seconds. T9 and T7 wrote at the same speed, Evo was a little slower. Black Magic Disk Speed Test indicates that the T9 is a little slower than the T7 - why pay more for less speed?

I had done a fair bit of research on external HDs and this is my new go-to external hard drive and I'm enjoying how fast it is.
Of course the 4 TB of space is nice too.
The only issue I have is it's price. I wish it could have been less expensive.
But value wise, I would highly recommend it after two months of use.

This is a very fast SSD! I like how small and durable it is too. No issues formating and works perfectly for fast transferring and storage.

Got this to make around 1TB of data available from my old iMac on my new MacBook pro but didn't want to fill up my new HD. I wanted something that I could use to move stuff, back it up, and also just use the portable HD directly and not have to worry about transferring stuff unless I wanted to. This HD is perfect. I was able to transfer about 1.2TB of data over from a ten year old iMac that only has USB-B support in less than 90 min. Now I just plug it in with USB-C to my new MacBook Pro and can use it like a normal HD and it's super fast just like the localdisk.

High reliability and performance at a good price.

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

Capacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

This type of external SSD (1TB here) is used for portable project file backup and transfer between computers.
Factors for why I selected the Samsung T9 Pro:
* Physically robust construction. Very protective shock shell around the main drive body for absorbing drops,
* Thermally robust operation- good internal heat sinking, to safely support high speed USB3 file transfers on USBC- some other brands of SSD, like the standard SanDisk drives I have bought through Amazon have literally burned out transferring large blocks of files. The Samsung Thermal guard works in action as claimed, in my experience with high speed connections and large data sets.
* The speed claims seem quite real; this is the fastest external drive I have tested. It's used mainly on a Mac Studio Max computer.

Great Little SSD Very impressed with this drive. Very fast for starters. password support, quick response, window's 11 recognized it instantly. Absolutely no issues. Recommend this drive for sure. Got it for the same price as the T7 drive at1TB. So it was a no brainer for me. Hope this helps someone.

So far it’s been reliable and has decent speed

As a photographer, I can’t seem to have enough large capacity SSDs. I bought this when it was on sale and because the brand has proven to be reliable to me. It doesn’t seems to be quite as fast as advertised but it does the job for me. The rubber coating is good in case not gets dropped, but it is a dust a dog hair magnet.

Use mine as an external drive to store photos for my Adobe light room. Small and fast for up and downloading. Drive is protected by a hard rubber coating and makes the drive easy to grip. This is the best external drive I have ever used and I have many for my photo work!

Super-Fast & Compact

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2024

Capacity: 4TBVerified Purchase

Very happy with this 4TB drive - supper fast, armored and smaller than a deck of cards.

My Seagate One Touch 5TB drive ran out of capacity and it was a good drive but took "forever" (many hours) to back up my 250GB of data. I have a 2TB Samsung Touch T7 with fingerprint security that is more than 5 times faster at 1050MBS using my TBolt 4 Dell XPS 13 and the supplied TBolt 4 cable (also very happy with the T7 Touch).

I decided to pay more than double the Seagate price for the 4TB Samsung T9 with advertised speeds of 2,000MBS. I didn't expect to actually gain any speed over the T7 because reviews I have read suggest more than 1,000MBS is problematic even with end-to-end TB4 hardware. However, this drive is notably faster, probably at least 50% if not more. Very happy I am not wasting more than half a day to do backups anymore. I reformatted the drive from eFat to NTFS prior to using it. I wish they made a touch version of this drive also to provide more security - I keep this one locked in a safe.

Love these external SSD's

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2024

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I owned the T-7 with fingerprint recognition confirmation & I filled it full of my photography & moon/astronomy video shots, Also numerous pics of my daughter's piano recitals & her memorable moments & so I decided to get another since the previous worked so well with my laptop but exceptionally well with my phone as well. I've noticed the same with this new one even only owning this new one a few weeks but I can notice the speed & number of pics/vids are exceptionally faster.
