Summary

  • $790 buys Samsung's 4TB T9 portable SSD during Amazon Prime Day, cutting $350 from its usual $1,144 price.
  • The deal stands out because the T9 targets heavy file users with advertised read and write speeds up to 2,000 MB/s, which testing said closely matched in practice.
  • A 2GB folder transferred in under four seconds in real-world use, and the drive is positioned for 4K video, RAW photo libraries and large game files.
  • The rubberized external SSD supports iPhone 15 and 16, Android, macOS and Windows, broadening its appeal beyond creator-focused workflows.
  • Amazon's 2026 Prime Day runs June 23-26—earlier than its usual July slot—and the discount comes as storage prices remain elevated.
