Samsung Electronics is officially launching the P9 and P7 in September as the first products in its next-generation portable SSD lineup. The two products were first unveiled in late August during its “The Next Era of Portable SSD” launch session at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany.
The P9 and P7 feature a USB4 interface, with sequential read speeds of up to 4,000 MB/s and capacities of up to 8TB. As the first products in Samsung's next-generation portable SSD lineup, they focus on three key messages: “Elite Performance for All,” “Smarter Capacity,” and “Freedom to Move,” combining fast performance, high-capacity storage and portability.
Samsung has released a highlight video from the Gamescom launch session offering a closer look at the new portable SSD lineup and the user experiences it is designed to deliver.
Note on performance claims: Max data transfer speed is measured based on Samsung's internal testing standards with the enclosed cable. Performance may vary depending on host configuration, cable and user system environment. A certain portion of capacity may be used for system file and maintenance use, thus the actual available capacity may differ from the labeled capacity.
