First and foremost, huge thanks to #Samsung and #TheInsiders for their #SamsungPortableSSDInsiders campaign and an amazing deal for Samsung T9 SSD 1 TB. I use it mainly to carry my lossless music, few downloaded movies, some important files and software.
This T9 SSD is pretty light-weight (only 4.3 oz) and slightly larger than a credit card. The SSD is made in Korea, and its data cables are made in China. Two cables are included: one is USB-C to USB-C and the other one is USB-A 3.0 to USB-C. Both cables are 0.5 meters long and sturdy. It comes pre-formatted with exFAT. Reportedly, this drive has 170 GB cache, which helps with extremely fast file transfer.
Positives points:
+ T9 SSD has aluminum case, and covered with non-slip rugged rubber exterior, which is certified for 3 meters of drop protection
+ It has internal thermal (heat) protection, so it never gets hot
+ Complete silent operation
+ Durable, has 5 year warranty
+ Blazing fast file transfer. For small files, sometimes the transfer window does not even appear on screen
Negative points:
- No IP65/IP67 rating
- Dust and lint magnet
- The faster rate only works with certain connections and cables
- Only 932 GB usable disk space out of 1 TB
During my tests, I was getting around 790 mbps transfer rate which is quite fast enough. To transfer a 16.0 GB folder (see pictures), which contains some FLAC music and large size pictures, using a Thunderbolt 3 cable connection, it took about 20 seconds. Overall, I'm extremely happy with Samsung T9 SSD. It is my new go-to drive to carry large and important files. I highly recommend it to everyone.
