Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD 8TB, USB 3.2 Gen 1, Up to 460MB/s

Very easy to use! I love the write speeds. I use it as a place to sit all my hundreds of hours of indoor volleyball content. It's very small size makes it very convenient; pretty much a high capacity thumb drive. I ended up getting 2 of them because they're just so convenient and can hold 8TB!!!

Enormous SSD storage. Sure - it's a little slow, but still at least as fast as most spinning drives. Compact - stays cool even under intense use editing and moving lots of extremely large video files.

This storage drive is an exceptionally powerful and efficient device. While it comes with a higher price tag, it offers a reliable solution for data storage that maintains optimal temperatures and provides rapid data transfer speeds. I utilize this drive to back up all of our music files for our mobile DJ service. I am considering buying another for everyday business use.

BAD - I was only getting 70-90 MB/s when directly wired in. Way lower than the 400 MB/s advertised. Less that 25% of what is advertised.

Had to leave this review. This is the by far one of the best external hard drives (SSD) ever. I have had it a little over a year and a half and it's super portable. Hard to believe 8TB fits on such a compact device. Well worth the money if you need the portability and space. Perfect for daily use while using other larger memory for backups.

Update 08/2025 - purchased a second one! Love them both. One is my data drive (photo, video, audio, data...) and the other is my backup drive (backs up the C drive too). Huge, fast, flawless, can take anywhere. It is an SSD with no moving parts - nothing should ever go wrong in normal use. Excellent for backups, large files, all files. Likely to purchase a second one {did}.

The samsung ssd works well, but is limited on speed by design. The interface is USB 3.2 gen1 so it is limited to similar speeds to a sata ssd, 450MB/s is the highest I have seen and under normal use it is more around 200MB/s. It runs cool even under high load due as much to the slow interface speed as anything. I have read some reports indicating issues with disconnecting and drive stability issues but have seen no issues in my use and considering it is 8TB the first time I filled it up (averaging 90MB/s) it was running as fast as it could for over 24 hours, no disconnects, no errors, good CRC test at the end (which also took about 8 hours due to interface speed) It is plug and play on PC and Mac and has more than enough space to backup even the highest Mac laptop spec. If there is a negative to take away the ssd uses QLC NAND so it does have an inherently shorter lifespan but for most users that should not be reached under normal use.

Incredibly small and fast. Fits in your pocket. Holds way more than that. Pricing vs quality is great. Very easy to use - though it may be important to note I am using with a Samsung ecosystem. Not sure if that helps overall performance but if you are using Samsung definitely work with these.

Perfect

Es un SSD que me encanto, su portabilidad, su rapidez a pesar de no ser tan rapido, es enorme su capacidad, valio totalmente la pena la inversión!!, lo mantengo conectado todo el tiempo a mi pc y no falla absolutamente nada, su propio software siempre me indica que esta el 100% y que les puedo decir me encanto, el material es de mega hiper buena calidad, hermoso al tacto!

Produto chegou em perfeito estado.

Awesome product!!! I am a YouTuber and I have SO MUCH DATA!!! Video files are huge and I have a bunch of external drives to hold archives, but they are the regular mechanical ones. They take time to connect, they make noise, and I'm always worried about a mechanical failure. This is the Solid State Drive and it connects FAST and is totally silent - it's wonderful! I use it now for all kinds of files I use regularly - it doesn't bother me to have it connected to my computer all the time.
