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!!!

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.

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.

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.

I use an external computer drive to store media files for use with my iTunes music and video library. This SSD, at the new price point, is great value for so much storage with the amazing access speed and reliability advantages over any hard disk device, which is what I am replacing. I also like that I can easily plug it into any of my other devices, such as phone or tablet, to use the media or to share very large files between the devices. SSDs are clearly now at a price-storage point where fully abandoning hard disks is easy. The fact that I have put many such devices through the wash and dry cycles when I left them in a pocket is just the cherry on top (but I would note that although pretty small compared to disks, it seems unlikely I would leave this one in a pocket).

I use it to keep my files from a Win10 laptop and a Win 11 laptop. It keeps the files from both devices conveniently available for whichever laptop I'm using. It's usually pretty fast but occasionally 'chokes' and thinks it's full of data or not ready requiring another attempt to save the file. the small form factor makes it quite portable.

After juggling a chaotic collection of smaller drives, I decided it was time to get serious about my backups. Enter the Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD, a sleek little powerhouse that finally lets me keep everything—files, docs, images, you name it—in one secure spot. The 4TB capacity is a game-changer for anyone tired of the "where did I save that?" game. Sure, it’s a bit of an investment, but peace of mind doesn’t come cheap. Plus, with lightning-fast read speeds, accessing my data is smooth and seamless. My only fear? Misplacing this black beauty—because losing the drive is the one thing even Samsung can’t fix!

It is not the fastest backup device, but it is the most stable I have ever encountered. Speed is decent at about 200–300 Mbps. As expected, backing up files on a computer is a walk in the park. What surprised me was backing up my Samsung S23 cell phone. I selected some files totaling 31.1GB, and it took about 20 minutes to finish the job. Upon completion, I deleted 3 files and tested its restore capability. It was successfully restored without a hitch. I recommend this backup device without reservations. It is portable, versatile and user-friendly.

Perfect

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.

Muy buen disco sólido para respaldar todo lo que se necesite, es cierto que las velocidades son “lentas” para ser un disco sólido pero al final del día creo que este disco se utiliza para respaldar y guardar la información ya que 8tb son suficientes para unos buenos años de contenido.
