WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Samsung Portable SSD T7

What it brings

Credit-card-size footprint: 85 × 57 × 8 mm and 58 g at 2 TB.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Both a USB C-to-C and a C-to-A cable come in the box, so older USB-A hosts work without an adapter.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Hardware AES 256-bit encryption with optional password protection.
Manufacturer source

What to check

Headline speeds need a USB 3.2 Gen 2 host with UASP enabled; slower ports will reduce throughput.
Manufacturer source
Samsung gives no water or dust rating for the T7, only a 2 m drop claim from its own internal test.
Manufacturer source

Samsung Portable SSD T9

What it brings

Uses a 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 link, which Samsung pairs with its up to 2,000 MB/s read rating.
Manufacturer source
Samsung states a 5-year limited warranty for this model.
Manufacturer source
Samsung publishes an operating range of 0–60 °C, a 3 m drop claim and AES 256-bit hardware encryption.

What to check

Samsung footnotes the rated speeds to a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host; slower host ports reduce throughput.
Manufacturer source
Samsung's official pages give conflicting 2 TB write figures, so the exact rated write speed is unresolved.
