This drive is fine, if you use the included Samsung cable. After using Magician to update the firmware, this issue began to happen: Any other non-samsung USB-C cable, even top dollar ones, will limit the transfer speed to 40mbps bidirectionally, regardless of the device its plugged into. Whats the point of USB-C if it does not have some sort of universality? Its like the drive controller throws a little tantrum if its cant get its uncommon USB3.2 2x2 and just falls back to USB2 speeds... even though it could use USB 3.1 or something. Further, i tried to revert the firmware but Samsung does not allow this.What all of this tells me is that Samsung is more concerned with chasing specs than things that matter to consumers, such as the ability to reliably and quickly ... MoreThis drive is fine, if you use the included Samsung cable.

I LOVE Samsung SSD drives. This is my first T9. The drive performs very well. However... Is there any professional anywhere who just has a pile of external SSD drives lying around on their editing desk with no identification labels? The answer is no.The rubbery, micro-bumpy, wavy silicone (or whatever it is) housing on the T9 will NOT take a label: from a Brother labelmaker, a Nimbot label printer - or anything.Absolutely NOTHING I've tried will stick to the case. The labels just slide around, or peel off on their own. Just a dumb housing design that didn't take actual use into account.I want to add my name, the client name, and If found call XXX-XXX-XXXX using a labelmaker.It's irresponsible to have unlabeled drives sitting around.

I purchased the 4TB version from Samsung several weeks ago. Shipping was prompt. Unit was plug and play. I loaded the included software.I tried to use it to create a system image on my win 11 PC but found that I had to reformat the drive to NTFS. I copied the files on the drive to another folder on a NAS drive to prevent them from being overwritten. After reformatting I had to sign into the app to gain access to the drive. If Samsung could do anything better they would include the instructions.Transfer speed appears adequate however I don't have a method to verify the speed. I am using the USB C port on my PC, however I don't know if it is compatible with the fastest connection speed of the drive.The drive is a very comfortable/manageable size.

The 2-star rating applies to using this SSD with a MacBook Air (M2) and with Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and S8+ tablet. With windows laptop, the SSD works flawlessly. With a Mac and my other Samsung devices, it's a nightmare. On the Mac, the Samsung SSD laptop software doesn't show the SSD as attached and periodically I have to delete the software and reinstall it (which is why I'm visiting the Samsung website today).On the S21 Ultra and S8+, even if the Samsung mobile app is working and you manage to access the SSD, 2 things happen - the Phone and Tablet both want to 'fix' the SSD and re-format it (deleting all my files).. I ignore this, but it freaks me out every time.

I ignore this, but it freaks me out every time. The second thing is that the Phone/Table send a persistent notification to restart the Phone/Tablet, which I eventually do just to get rid of the notification. I'm pretty sure the issue relates to having 'security' enabled and the structure of the drive having an un-protected volume and protected volume and the un-protected volume being 'ejected' when you log into the protected volume. I'm also sure this could be fixed (definitely by disabling security - but what is the point of an unprotected SSD??) or formatting the drive to only have one volume - but that's way beyond my technical capability. I just expect the SSD to work. Incidentally, I don't have any of these problems with Sandisk SSDs.Its funny that's the manufacturers Samsung devices seems to have the most issue with, is other Samsung devices...! Would I buy a Samsung SSD again? no way (unless it was to be used exclusively with a windows laptop)
I bought it because of the great reviews.I got the problems on the first usage.1. While transferring all my items (around 1TB) from my desktop, I couldn't transfer more than 30 percent. I tried to do it four times. At 30 percent, the process simply stops. The computer does not freeze, and the file transfer window shows no errors.2. During all four attempts, my PC worked very slowly; it was almost impossible to use the mouse.3. In Samsung's response to the one-star comment, I found the following information: "You can verify whether the Samsung SSD product you have purchased is genuine by using the Magician software included on the CD." There is no CD included and no Magician software on the SSD itself.I bought a SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 4TB External ... MoreI bought it because of the great reviews.I got the problems on the first usage.1.

I did not have any problems even though SanDisk has worse reviews.Thus, this Samsung SSD is going back to Samsung.
As a tech enthusiast, I appreciate being chosen to try new products and it was an honor to try the Samsung T9 SSD campaign. I love the exceptional speed and the compatibility it has with many of my products across different brands. I am adamantly creating documents, transferring creative files, videos and photos from all of my devices that range from a few megabytes to hundreds and even gigabytes camera and I did not have to wait several lifetimes to transfer them or did I ever receive any error messages. Its compact design and quality was top tier. It easily fit in my pocket, purse, laptop bag, etc. I liked that it had a sleek metallic/matte look with a gripping texture. Hopefully it comes in more colors to match my array of femininely colored products, but I’ll ... MoreAs a tech enthusiast, I appreciate being chosen to try new products and it was an honor to try the Samsung T9 SSD campaign.

Hopefully it comes in more colors to match my array of femininely colored products, but I’ll take this design as well lol. I’ve noticed that in comparison to my usb drive connector that transferring several files can cause it to overheat in comparison to the Samsung T9 SSD device, I did not notice any overheating or delay. As I mentioned before, it is extremely fast and reliable compared to standard external devices that often lose connectivity mid transfer or download. With many download or transfer speeds reaching only about 15-20mb/s even in the best WiFi, I was able to achieve a consistent speed of over ~1,000 mb/s despite my location and write speeds was approximately the same in mb/s or a few hundred shy, but not noticeable. Because I am a content creator and designer, this is an ideal product for me and those alike. I also enjoyed the ability to have any and all files and the entire device protected by security measures that included password protection and encryption. I am always skeptical of any information vulnerabilities so features like this are always welcomed.I would definitely recommend this device to tech enthusiasts or anyone that needs the space and speed to get those creative jobs done or simply to organize their life. It has room for everyone of with different interests.

I found the T9, to get about 15% faster on the write speed and about 25%. That to me is a significant improvement over the previous generation.Additionally, one of the other things you will notice about this drive is the weight of the drive. T9 SSD comes in around 4.3 ounces, which is the highest among all Samsung’s SSD lines. However, I enjoy the weight of the T9 SSD. It provides the correct balance to the T9 SSD.In conclusion, the design, features, speed, performance, and weight of the Samsung T9 SSD make this SSD one of the best that I have tested. I would recommend this SSD to anyone. If you can pick one up at a great price, you will not be disappointed in its performance. Ensure you have a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 cable when using the T9 and a compatible host to peak performance.
What can I say about the T9? SSD from Samsung. Samsung electronics have effectively replaced Sony electronics technology I need. They may not have anything close to the customer service. Sony provided again, nobody does anymore.What the drive boasts it actually is!. It's both fast and reliable. Consistent and well made. It's cabling still isn't specialized as most hardware seems to still be these days but it still obtains maximum performanceAlong with other Samsung Electronics at my 2009 TV that lasted till 2023, Only the glue that held the HDMI cables in place Finally forced All Samsung TV's mine and clients to be retired. An odd thing that I've only seen products made in America which have destructive mechanisms act in such a fashion.By all means, I ... MoreWhat can I say about the T9? SSD from Samsung.

Its product is durable liability has been proven.Ohh, yes. Forgot to add the security front end that you can use on the Samsung is exceptional and easy to use You can lock up your device without overly complicated methods of understanding. I only wish they had a sensible backup solution to safeguard the os completely Like it's home-grown imaging or file recovery system But I am working on that
Honestly a bit disappointed for my first Samsung external SSD and wont be buying again. A good drive if you do not need to use bitlocker or other file systems like NTFS. But if either of these is used, or heavens forbid both in combination, the overhead is apparently too much for the controller and the drive's performance drops to a crawl. Like 2 minutes to open a browser running on the drive, or almost a minute to transfer a picture. 200kb to 3mb read and write speeds. Issue resolves if I disable both NTFS via reformat as well as bitlocker, or is greatly resolved if I disable either of them. issue is replicated on my older laptop and on my latest gen high end workstation.A very disappointing result for what is supposed to be a premium external SSD.

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 ... MoreI needed an external drive for my iPhone 15 Pro max to record ProRes 4K60.

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.
