        The Samsung T9 SSD comes in four capacities: 1TB, 2TB and 4TB. They are all the same size physically, 88 x 60 x 14mm and they weigh 122g. The exterior is covered in a special pattern that makes it feel like cloth.

        A typo???
        Four capabilities 1TB, 2TB, 4TB where is the four???
        It is 3TB or 8TB or what.

                „Luxury Added to Ruggedness
                The T9 delivers not only the functional advantages, but also unique design benefits under the concept of “luxury added to ruggedness” based on the “rugged” design concept of the T7 Shield. The curved diagonal lines and reverse carbon patterns on the surface of T9 gives the rubber a fabric-like feel for the user, like a luxurious wallet.“

                Sounds exactly like the bs that Apple used to describe FineWoven. No matter how much you want to push this on us, woven fabric is neither premium nor durable nor environmentally sustainable

                  Why the material change? The T7 was made of aluminum which looked and felt good and was good at transferring heat. This looks like plastic
