Samsung T9 Spec and Price in the United States
Released October 3, 2023 · $239.99 MSRP
The T9 is the only drive in Samsung's portable line to use USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, and that doubled 20 Gbps link is what takes sequential read to 2,000 MB/s where the T7 and the T7 Shield stop at 1,050. Write is the one spec that moves across capacities: 1,950 MB/s at 1TB and 2TB, 2,000 MB/s at 4TB, per the datasheet's own per-capacity row. It also carries a five-year limited warranty rather than the three years the rest of the portable line gets, and it launched in October 2023 at a $239.99 MSRP for the 2TB.
Tied 81st of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 3 models share this figure. 74th of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write.

What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 2 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- Reviewers measured high-speed transfers that roughly double its predecessor's, aided by the write cache for large files.
- They highlight its aluminium body with a rubberised grip, the bundled management software, and notable gains over the prior model in build and thermals.
- Owners report fast read and write speeds and much shorter backup times.
- It is described as easy to set up and use, small and portable, and capable of editing video directly from the drive.
- Several owners call it good value, especially when bought on sale.
Commonly criticised
- It trails the leading USB portable SSDs in essentially every benchmark.
- At review time its pricing made rival drives more compelling.
- Multiple owners report transfer speeds well below the advertised figures, including roughly half the expected speed on newer Macs.
- One owner notes it runs warmer than other SSDs, though without concern.
