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

Though Its Slower Than Most USB SSDs At 460MB/s (10 Gbps and 20 Gbps Drives), Its A Massive 8 TB Drive That Has A Sustained USB 3.2 Gen 1 Speed Of (5 Gbps). Attracts A Lot Of Dust On Its Surface, But Its Solid & Well Built. Its Still A Lot Faster Than Conventional Hard Drives & Worth Every Penny. I Can Recommend This For Data Storage & Transfer, But Not For 4K Video Editing.

I’m normally a Samsung t7 or t9 fan, but I thought I would give this hard drive a spin (pun intended) and I was pleasantly surprised. While working on location with this hard drive inside a pickup truck exposed to dust, humidity, snow, and rain this hard drive delivered. Excellent design! Not only did it work well but I was pleasantly surprised by its write speed and its storage capacity! For the price it is definitely worth it.

Very pleased. Not ,the fastest SSD but for the backup I use it for it is adequate. It was $50 less shortly after I bought it and tried to get my overpayment refunded. Amazon agreed but never issued the credit. As of now it is back up to the original price

I bought two of these pieces of abysmal crap to back up an 8TB MacBook Pro. Both failed catastrophically and were unusable and unrecoverable. Absolute incompetence. Having used portable backup drives for 20+ years with Macs, these were the worst and failed most quickly and with minimal use. Absolutely DO NOT BUY.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Happy about it, 4 Tb capoacity is very good but the net is around 3,6 Tb usable, transfer speed was between 200 mb/sec to 300 mb/sec, no heating during transfer, definitely recommend it

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.

Excellent fast and tiny (for its capacity) hard drive

Sehr stabiles Gehäuse. Ob die Gummierung sich in Sauerei zerlegt, muss die Zeit zeigen, das dürfte aber die Funktion nicht beeinträchtigen. Die Platte ist so schnell, wie man es von einer SATA-Platte an USB erwarten darf und bricht auch in normalem Maß bei kleineren Dateien ein. Große ISO-Datei lesen 333MB/s, schreiben 250 MB/s, Bilder schreiben 120 MB/s, alles gute Werte. Sie wird nicht warm. Sie wird bei mir an allen Geräten sofort und problemlos erkannt. Ich lasse virtuelle Maschinen von dieser Platte laufen. Das geht problemlos und ist schnell genug, dass es nur in sehr schreibintensiven Momenten ein wenig auffällt. Alles in allem ein toller mobiler Speicher. Es geht leichter, kleiner und schneller, aber nicht für den Preis, nicht so stabil und nicht so problemlos.
