Samsung T9 Portable SSD Review 

Thanks for the Crystal disk testing. It took me 4 videos to find this info.

Thanks for all your reviews.

Lon Thank you for posting.

I have a 4TB T7 for my super low tech "NAS". It's been performaing great between my mac/pc envionrment. I also have one to store all my PS4 titles. Great devices, they just work.

The rubber is nice until it turns gummy which they all seem to do after a decade or so.

It does say "up to", so it's not deceptive advertising.

It's crazy how these portable SSDs became cheaper and cheaper in a span of 5-6 years. I bought 512GB Samsung T3 in 2017 for 200$ , now for that money you can get 2TB T9.

I always admire that he buys them with his own money, honest, I like it 😎

Just looked up the price. I will wait.

is the cable (usb-c) sturdy) as in it don't wiggle?

Hey lon great video, can you do a remote set up on my synology for docker for a fee? I don't want to screw it up :)

With my T7 Shield I got very slow write speeds on Mac compared to PC, but after I updated firmware with Samsung Magician, the speeds on Mac and PC were almost identical.

Isn't it better just to get a T7 if the gen2x2 isn't supported on the computer being used?

MSI b650 supports it 👍🏼

I wouldn't be too optimistic on USB 4 becoming mainstream in terms of price over the next couple of years, gen 2 speeds are going to be the norm for some years to come...

is crucial x10 pro better than this ?

It physically looks twice as big as my T5 2TB, but the T9 is almost twice as fast since I get 480 write and 500 read.

Question: you mentioned the encryption doesn’t work on Linux. Does that mean Linux won’t read the encrypted drive or that the password to unlock is not needed on Linux?

I'm looking for a 10-in android tablet that is Affordable that I can travel with and I can plug in a two and a half inch USB hard drive with movies on it and watch them on a 10 inch android tablet. Do you have any suggestions.

I would buy these drives if they have support for usb 4

Samsung is great quality, but I think usb 4 or tb4 is better for future proofing

I have the Dell XPS 8960 desktop PC and it has a USB-C gen 2X2 port on the back. Holla.

I have USB 3.2 2x2 cards on my Destop PC's. It is becoming a standard on more mothetboards, Most AMD 5 boards have the connection necessary. I wouldn't knock it because you don't own the proper computer to utilize it properly. You can review something that you don't have equipment to run it.

All of my decent MSI boards, since Z590, has had a USB 3.2 x 2 C port on the IO panel. Often has a 20 next to it.

why is your apple menu and dock so tiny?

My MacBook can't work

Mac does not support USB 3.2 Gen2x2. So you get only 10Gbps around 1000 MBps max. Mac only support 10GBps and 40Gbps... no 20Gbps

This nonsense in USB naming conventions and bandwidth needs to come to an end. Anyone who worked on any of these specs, especially naming them, should never be allowed to serve on a standards committee again. Now we have this same problem creeping into the Thunderbolt I/F. While TB3 supports 20GBPS, a TB4 I/F may or may not support 40GBPS. Backward compatibility for TB4 USB connections may or may not support the USB 3.2 2x2 feature, but you may never see such a creature because this support is optional. How do you know what your PC's TB or USB ports will support? It isn't clearly stated in any documentation you get with your system.

if you are using a custom built pc then it should most definitely support usb 3.2x2

Most laptops - not most computers - does not support usb3.2x2

Rubber coating makes my skin itch. Am I the only one?

U getting paid for those review come on guy
