Like their competitors Samsung adopted the obscurbe USB 3.2x2 standard vs. the more common USB 4/Thunderbolt. This means most users will not experience its full performance potential.

Thanks for the Crystal disk testing. It took me 4 videos to find this info.
Thanks for all your reviews.
Thank you for watching and your support!!
Lon Thank you for posting.
Thank you for watching!
I have a 4TB T7 for my super low tech "NAS". It's been performaing great between my mac/pc envionrment. I also have one to store all my PS4 titles. Great devices, they just work.
The rubber is nice until it turns gummy which they all seem to do after a decade or so.
100%. You can get rid of the stickiness with rubbing alcohol, but I'd rather they just left it off electronics altogether
Yeah, my Samsung T4's rubber part is sticky.
It does say "up to", so it's not deceptive advertising.
With my T7 Shield I got very slow write speeds on Mac compared to PC, but after I updated firmware with Samsung Magician, the speeds on Mac and PC were almost identical.
Yeah this was done with the latest firmware .. definitely a bit slower
It's crazy how these portable SSDs became cheaper and cheaper in a span of 5-6 years. I bought 512GB Samsung T3 in 2017 for 200$ , now for that money you can get 2TB T9.
You can get a crucial X6 4tb for about $200. Not that fast for an ssd, but great price.
I always admire that he buys them with his own money, honest, I like it 😎
Just looked up the price. I will wait.
Hey lon great video, can you do a remote set up on my synology for docker for a fee? I don't want to screw it up :)
I wouldn't be too optimistic on USB 4 becoming mainstream in terms of price over the next couple of years, gen 2 speeds are going to be the norm for some years to come...
is the cable (usb-c) sturdy) as in it don't wiggle?
Isn't it better just to get a T7 if the gen2x2 isn't supported on the computer being used?
MSI b650 supports it 👍🏼
It physically looks twice as big as my T5 2TB, but the T9 is almost twice as fast since I get 480 write and 500 read.
4X as fast.
@@JoBiatch Did I miss something? Lon was getting around 900 read and write in this video.
@@ChimpRiot That’s because Lon’s PC did not have a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2X2 port. If he did, he would’ve gotten speeds of 2,000 MB/s, instead of close to 1,000. He clearly stated this at the beginning of the video. Watch it at 1:47
@@JoBiatch That he did. You’re correct 👍
@@JoBiatch it's important to specify what he said, the vast majority of laptops (over 99%) do no support the 2x2 standard, so that speed is just theory if you don't have a compatible device
I would buy these drives if they have support for usb 4
is crucial x10 pro better than this ?
Question: you mentioned the encryption doesn’t work on Linux. Does that mean Linux won’t read the encrypted drive or that the password to unlock is not needed on Linux?
They don't have a client app on linux to decrypt as far as I can see.
I would assume someone can’t bypass encryption simply by plugging into Linux, but can’t hurt to check.
I'm looking for a 10-in android tablet that is Affordable that I can travel with and I can plug in a two and a half inch USB hard drive with movies on it and watch them on a 10 inch android tablet. Do you have any suggestions.
Is it me or are these bots getting a little out of hand, that being said try older tablets like tmax brand types they are perfect for your needs.
I have the Dell XPS 8960 desktop PC and it has a USB-C gen 2X2 port on the back. Holla.
Samsung is great quality, but I think usb 4 or tb4 is better for future proofing
except that USB 4 drives are way more expensive, and things should not change for a while
@@_Digitalguy agree about the price, but an enclosure from acasis and a nvme m.2 are very reasonable if you want performance
@@garynagle3093 Absolutely and that's exactly what I own. But that's a DIY solution. Most people would simply by and external SSD.
I have USB 3.2 2x2 cards on my Destop PC's. It is becoming a standard on more mothetboards, Most AMD 5 boards have the connection necessary. I wouldn't knock it because you don't own the proper computer to utilize it properly. You can review something that you don't have equipment to run it.
Most consumers don’t build their own PCs or install usb 2x2 cards. Industry is not supporting the standard
All of my decent MSI boards, since Z590, has had a USB 3.2 x 2 C port on the IO panel. Often has a 20 next to it.
True. My ASUS X670E-PLUS motherboard supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2. But that board has 4x m.2 slots. But I need another external hard drive for my M1 Mac Mini, which doesn’t support the speed.
2x2 is essentially a desktop thing, virtually no laptop supports it
Mac does not support USB 3.2 Gen2x2. So you get only 10Gbps around 1000 MBps max. Mac only support 10GBps and 40Gbps... no 20Gbps
My MacBook can't work
why is your apple menu and dock so tiny?
When I do live capture on my Mac it outputs a 1080p resolution which appears smaller on the screen.
if you are using a custom built pc then it should most definitely support usb 3.2x2
Most consumers don't have custom built PCs.
This nonsense in USB naming conventions and bandwidth needs to come to an end. Anyone who worked on any of these specs, especially naming them, should never be allowed to serve on a standards committee again.
Now we have this same problem creeping into the Thunderbolt I/F. While TB3 supports 20GBPS, a TB4 I/F may or may not support 40GBPS. Backward compatibility for TB4 USB connections may or may not support the USB 3.2 2x2 feature, but you may never see such a creature because this support is optional.
How do you know what your PC's TB or USB ports will support? It isn't clearly stated in any documentation you get with your system.
Agreed.. I have yet to see a PC manufacturer detail the USB specifications that are supported.. Most of the time I have to test it to see.
Most laptops - not most computers - does not support usb3.2x2
Rubber coating makes my skin itch. Am I the only one?
With that condition you should have been aware long ago that an allergic reaction to latex isn't uncommon.
U getting paid for those review come on guy
