Samsung Electronics, a global leader in advanced memory technology, today announced the release of its latest lineup of the T- series, the Portable Solid State Drive (SSD) T9. With its stylish and portable design, the T9 is built to keep data safe while on-the-go, empowering users with fast transfer speeds and ample storage, and providing the reliability and convenience they need.
“With advances in high-resolution photos and the rising popularity of 4K videos, professional content creators now face the necessity of transferring large amounts of data on a frequent basis,” said Hangu Sohn, Vice President of Memory Brand Product Biz Team at Samsung Electronics.
The T9 offers a maximum sequential read/write speeds of 2,000 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) on the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface. Approximately two times faster than the previous T7 model, speeds of this level allow users to transfer a 4-gigabyte (GB) Full HD video in approximately two seconds.
The T9 comes in three different capacity options to fit the needs of users. With 1-terabyte (TB), 2TB and 4TB options, the T9 makes it possible to complete quick and frequent transfers while providing ample storage for large volumes of data. Its compact size, similar to that of a credit card, allows creators to carry their inspiration when they are on the go.
The T9 delivers not only the functional advantages, but also unique design benefits. The curved diagonal lines and reverse carbon patterns on the surface of the T9 gives the rubber a fabric-like feel for the user, like a luxurious wallet.
The T9 is resistant to drops of up to three meters high and comes with a five-year limited warranty. Its sturdy design is built to keep data safe with the reliability that users want to empower them to pursue their most ambitious projects.
For creators who require fast and efficient large file transfers without slowdowns, the T9 is a great companion. With Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard, it efficiently minimizes performance drops that can be caused by overheating, allowing for consistent and fast transfer speeds.
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 Magician Software is there to help solve field issues. With the new 8.0 version released in September 2023, Samsung software such as data migration, PSSD software, and the card authentication tool, will be integrated into the Magician software. Further, Magician 8.0 is now compatible with Windows, Mac and Android operating systems.
With proven experience in Portable SSD compatibility, Samsung has designed the T9 to meet the USB Type-C power specification and to support the seamless workflow of professional creators. The T9 is compatible with Android, Windows and Mac operating systems, and can used with smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, and professional high-resolution cameras. The T9 also comes with USB Type C-to-C and USB Type C-to-A cables.
With an manufacturer’s suggested retail price(MSRP) of $189.99for the 1TB, $319.99 for the 2TB, and $579.99 for the 4TB, the Samsung Portable SSD T9 will be available to consumers worldwide on October 3, 2023.
