Weighing just 122g, the compact unit is also blazing fast thanks to Samsung’s very latest technology. The drive contains the best innovations the company has to offer, such as its Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 that enables a buffer size of up to 180GB. This is greater than previous series, so maximum performance is maintained for longer when large video files are being transferred or encoded and decoded. It’s especially useful for dealing with data- rich Raw files on newer cameras, which are incredibly quick to transfer thanks to the 2000MB/s read speed of the Samsung Portable SSD T9. The portable drive boasts the latest USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface and a choice of two cables – one to connect to a USB-C and a second for legacy USB-A devices. It’s easy to link to any computer and will be recognised instantly, while USB-C connectivity to cameras is immediate and hassle-free. “In fact, the Samsung Portable SSD T9 offers speeds that are faster than many cameras are actually capable of,” says

If, in the future, cameras can eventually achieve that faster output rate, it’s rewarding to know this will still be up to the job.” With such huge files, managing heat is crucial, as the drive getting too hot can slow down performance. Luckily, the Samsung Portable SSD T9 is built for the task, with low power consumption and a design featuring thermal materials to keep it cool, like silicon and aluminium. It’s the pinnacle of SSD technology, as the hardware and firmware has been developed exclusively by Samsung to handle everything an external SSD could face during use in hardcore, professional videography environments. For example, it only consumes 0.67W idle power and peak power up to 7.3W when connected via USB-C. This reduces heat build-up and – when using it with a laptop – extends battery life by over 30 minutes compared to rival products.* For extra security, the Samsung Portable SSD T9 comes with Samsung
