Which Portable SSD should you buy?

If you need to decide which of these two SSD models is better for you, in essence, one is faster, and the other is more durable.

The Portable T7 Shield is a rugged USB 3.2 SSD with sequential read/write speeds of up to 1,050MB/s and 1,000MB/s, respectively. It has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance and weighs 98 grams.

On the other hand, Samsung's Portable T9 is a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 SSD with double the sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000MB/s. It doesn't have an IP rating for dust and water resistance and weighs 122 grams.

Both these SSDs take advantage of features like Dynamic Thermal Guard, and even though the T9 doesn't have an IP rating, Samsung says it's just as resilient against drops as the T7 Shield. Both SSDs can endure drops from heights of up to 9.8 feet.
