When work involves moving large files, and by that we mean 10-20GB files, a good portable solid state drive (SSD) is required. One of the latest and best entries at the moment is T9, which has up to 4TB options. It’s about delivering fast data transfer speed and reliability.

Consider shooting ProRes Log on the new iPhone 15 Pro Max. It means you can easily shoot a video that takes up 15-20GB of space. The T9 can help. Plug in the SSD to the USB-C port of the new iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max and the device will be recognised by your phone. Instead of saving files to your phone, the ProRes file will get saved on the SSD from which you can easily transfer it to any device you want.

The T9 comes with a fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface, delivering up to 2,000 MB/s read/write speeds. The T9, in fact, outpaces the former T7, by nearly double the speed. This means you can move a 4GB full HD video in approximately two seconds.

Also working in its favour is the durability factor. The T9’s rubber exterior ensures a comfortable grip, and guards against low-temperature burns.

Available in three different capacities — 1TB, 2TB and 4TB — the T9 caters to diverse needs of creators. There is also Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology that mitigates performance dips caused by overheating. The portable SSD begins at a price of Rs 12,799 and comes with a five-year limited warranty.
