We went hands-on with the Samsung T9 and found it incredibly easy to move around, with a rubberized coating that both protects it from damage and keeps things running smoothly (gone are the days when dropping an external drive meant losing all your data entirely).

Physically, the T9 SSD could not have a simpler design: it features a single hole on the side, accompanied by a status light and a hard outer plate. There are no buttons, display, or meters, which contribute to its convenient, pocket-friendly use.
