Verdict: The SanDisk Extreme PRO V2 outperforms the Samsung T9 in raw speed, offering up to 2 GB/s read and 1.8 GB/s write (Tom's Hardware) and adds an IP55 rating for field durability (RTINGS). However, the T9 is notably lighter (45 g vs 55 g) and generally cheaper, making it a more sensible choice for users who need a portable, everyday drive without the need for top‑tier performance (CNET). For creators who regularly edit 4K/8K footage and have a USB‑3.2 Gen 2x2 port, the V2’s speed advantage justifies the extra cost; otherwise the T9 delivers solid performance at a better price‑to‑weight ratio.
