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.
