Samsung stands tall in the electronics world thanks to its mobile phones and tablets, home appliances, and big-screen TVs and home theater sound systems. It’s almost easy to forget that Samsung is also the world’s No. 1 flash memory brand, with user- and reviewer-favorite peripherals including the T9 Portable Solid-State Drive, the 4TB version of which is marked down by over $200 for Black Friday.

The T9’s $330 Black Friday sale price — down from $550 — is a relative steal when you consider the massive 4TB capacity of the hard drive, and its numerous perks and safety features that ensure your data, files, or games will be safely stored.
Blazing Speed
The USB 3.0 T9 is nearly twice as fast as the previous-gen T7, which is a notoriously fast-performing SSD. The T9 has sustained read and write speeds of up to 20GB per second, making even massive backup jobs or file transfers move much faster than you’re probably used to. A small hard drive that works that fast should be prone to overheating, but the Samsung T9 comes with advanced thermal protection via Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard to keep your data from getting cooked.
With that kind of speed and heat protection, the Samsung T9 is ideal for 4K recording and rapid-burst photography when you pair it directly to a high-end still or video camera. It’s fast enough to have those huge files written directly from the camera, saving you from having to upload or download from an SD card or laptop.
The toughness and durability of the Samsung T9 SSD doesn’t end with its amazing ability to stay cool even during heavy usage. It’s also ruggedly constructed, with drop resistance of up to 9.8 feet. If you’re using the T9 for remote work and need to carry it in a duffel or backpack often, it can stand up to the jostling without compromising your data or files.
Compatibility Plus
The Samsung T9 is compatible with a wide array of electronic devices, including the iPhone 15 and 16, Android, Mac, Windows, and most major gaming consoles. Visual artists, gamers, work travelers, and anyone who wants to be sure their data and files are backed up safely and securely are prime buyers of the Samsung T9, and the 4TB version has enough space to perform most tasks.
The $330 you’ll spend on the Samsung T9 Portable SSD — after the $220 taken off during Samsung’s Black Friday sale — will pay for itself many times over if it can rescue you from a catastrophic data or file loss even once, and it combines rugged construction with automatic updating via Samsung’s Magician Software to ensure it won’t be outmoded anytime soon.
