How to install Samsung T9 1 TB Portable Solid State Drive

• Connect the T9 to your computer or supported device using a USB-C cable. If your device uses USB-A, use a compatible adapter or USB-A to USB-C cable to establish the connection.
• Power on the device (if required by your system) and wait for the operating system to recognize the drive. In most setups, the drive will appear as an external storage volume within your file explorer.
• Format the drive if you plan to use it across different operating systems. For cross-platform use, exFAT is a common choice; for a single-OS workflow, you can format it to APFS (macOS), NTFS (Windows), or ext4 (Linux) as needed. Note that formatting will erase all data on the drive.
• Begin transferring files or configure backup software to run with the T9 as the primary destination for media, projects, or archives. Drag-and-drop or use your preferred file transfer method to optimize throughput.
• Eject the drive safely after use to prevent data loss, then disconnect the USB cable. When you reconnect, the drive should be ready for continued use with your chosen settings and file structure.
