Samsung’s superfast 2TB T9 portable SSD has seen a significant price drop in Australia, making it more accessible to consumers in need of high-speed file transfers. The 2TB Samsung T9 SSD is now available at its lowest price ever in Australia, priced at AU$289, down from AU$429, representing a substantial AU$140 saving. This price drop is part of Amazon’s Big Smile Sale, which also includes a 25% discount on the 1TB Samsung T9, bringing its price down to AU$209.

The Samsung T9 is an upgraded version of the T7, featuring a durable exterior similar to the T7 Shield and an enhanced USB interface supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2×2. This enables much faster read and write speeds, although it requires compatible USB ports on the connected devices to achieve these speeds. Despite its initial high cost, the AU$140 saving on Amazon now makes it a more attractive option for consumers.

The T9 portable SSD boasts impressive performance, capable of reaching speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s for both read and write operations, closely rivaling those of internal NVMe solid-state drives. This remarkable speed allows users to run demanding applications, such as games, directly from the drive, with sustained high speeds even during continuous use. Additionally, the T9 incorporates a Dynamic Thermal Guard system with multiple thermal pads to prevent overheating, ensuring that skin temperature does not exceed 60º even under heavy load.

These advancements position the T9 as a significant upgrade over Samsung’s previous portable SSDs, provided that the connected devices support the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface. With its latest price drop, the Samsung T9 portable SSD offers compelling value for consumers seeking high-speed and reliable storage solutions.
