Hard drive storage capacity is crucial for companies needing to store large volumes of data, including operational and customer information, and other business details. To ensure uninterrupted data access in an enterprise storage system, hard drives must be highly reliable and offer very high read and write speeds. This reliability is essential for maintaining business efficiency and success.
In October 2023, Samsung introduced its new flagship Portable SSD T9, aimed at office professionals seeking exceptional and reliable performance. Featuring a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface and a sleek design with exterior rubber protection, it can read and write at speeds of 2,000 MB/s, which is twice as fast as its predecessors.
Laptops frequently use external drives for personal applications to store high-resolution digital media, source materials, and collections. This practice helps free up laptop space and enhance performance, especially given the high content consumption rates among younger users. External hard drives provide the same functionality as internal laptop drives without compromising portability and practicality. With the rise of mobile technology and the work-from-home culture, people prefer portable hard drives to access their data from anywhere.
