OP predicts:
"The Samsung Portable SSD T9 will be different beast, hopefully this year."

Thinking that the t9 will be a USB4 drive...?

The 4TB model is also shown in Amazon UK:

Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD 4 TB - USB 3.2 Gen.2 External SSD Black (MU-PE4T0S/EU)
Yes, but it's been saying Out of Stock for a few days.

Still hoping they'll release an 8TB version.

Samsung Memory is responsible for portable SSDs. This is their email:

samsungmemory@hanaro.eu

If someone is interested in having an 8TB version of T7, they can email them and express their interest.

I suppose if enough people email them about this, they're going to consider producing an 8Tb version.

Really would have liked to get the 4tb version, but I need space for a big project right now and two of the 2tb Shields are cheaper than one 4tb. Headed out to Best Buy right now to get a couple 2tb SSD's right now...

Is it really technically difficult to make an 8TB version or is it they don't do it because there isn't sufficient demand?
