Looking to buy Samsung Portable SSD T9 (4TB)

[Mads Nybo jørgensen]

Hey David,

In the UK we sometimes see flash-sales on Samsung SSDs. Last year I got a 4TB T7 at an eye-watering low cost (50% off Samsung direct).

However, keep in mind that the T9 is nearly double the speed at 2,000 Mbps, you might have a good deal already over the T7 (1,000 Mbps). Both the T7 and T9 can be used on video cameras as external capture drives. Depending on what your work-flow is, and what clients you work with, maybe a “short-cut” is to ask the client to deliver the footage on a T9 drive, that you then use in the edit.

Just thinking out loud. Sorry 😀

For the price, the 4TB is not bad. But as soon I have said that, you’ll start looking at the slower 460 Mbps Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD USB 3.2 Gen 1 drive that comes in a 8TB flavour.
Even if not usable in the edit, it does suggest that other 8TB SSDs are not far behind.
