A true best in slot. There is no real alternative to this, and I don't think anyone could make a better version in the relative near future.

Why it's here

By Emiliano · Revised Oct 2026

A large copy I trust, then throw in a bag. The Samsung T9 at 2TB is that drive. It's fast enough that I don't schedule my day around the transfer, and the shell can take a normal life instead of living in a padded case. Spinning drives are over for this job. Cheap sticks are where I stop trusting the copy. The capacity is the amount I actually move, and the speed is already past the point where I notice it.
