[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far I am enjoying this portable SSD. It is small and compact and easy to use. I was able to copy over about 30 Gigs worth of files in just a few minutes. I am very impressed in the transfer speeds for this drive. I also like that is uses USB-C for its connection. I will use it for other files and images. I was also able to easily set the drive up with password security. So far so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Secure super tech

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my package and was pleasantly surprised how neat and professional it was including all accessories. I decided to purchase the Samsung T5 Evo SSD portable to transfer my photos and videos.
The T5 EVO is Samsung’s latest offering which aims to deliver a large amount of storage at a reasonable price. It has certainly managed to do this with the help of enhanced V-NAND technology pushing the storage up to 8GB. This makes it the world’s largest portable SSD to boast 8TB capacity, surpassing the largest capacity HDDs with 2.5” form factors. The design is compact, light, and ergonomic making it a pleasant device to look at and hold. The T5 Evo is incredibly easy to move around and does away with the need for much bulkier external hard drives that we’ve become accustomed to in years gone by.
It comes in three different sizes, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB so you can pick an option to suit your needs. The read/write speeds are up to 460 MB/sec. The T5 Evo is a fairly solid, middle-of-the-range, SSD that performs adequately enough.
What is important to me is security and this device boasts AES 256-bit hardware encryption that is important to me.
Overall I really enjoy this device and recommend to everyone.

Small, Mighty and Powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung T5 EVO portable SSD is a great option for those seeking massive storage capacity in a compact and durable package. Starting at 2TB it’s one of the largest storage amounts in a portable package.
The real draw to the T5 EVO boasts a sleek, compact and minimalist design. Its rubber type casing feels premium and sturdy, making it comfortable to hold and resistant to bumps and scratches. It's also quite lightweight and pocket-sized, measuring just 3.34 x 1.5 x 0.58 inches and super light weight. Can easily be stored in a small safe (if you like to backup all your photos and videos like me) or travel with you anywhere.
The T5 EVO connects via a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port. As soon as you connect it, autoplay offers options on what you want to do. So easy for someone not familiar with these products to get started. Just open the file, and start moving files over. It promised read and write speeds of up to 540 MB/s and 500 MB/s, respectively. However, when using the free Samsung Magician program to get insight into this product, I was seeing write speeds on 40 MB/S. it did suggest i use a faster USB port. Not slow enough to bother me and pretty quick file transfers for photos and videos. Power users and creative professionals who frequently deal with
I also appreciate the hardware encryption for data security. And the free software - Samsung Portable SSD for password protection and firmware updates
Verdict:
The Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD is a solid choice for users who prioritize large storage capacity, portability, and durability. Its sleek design, decent performance, and robust build quality make it a win.

Fantastic aesthetics

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is eye-popping right out of the box. That probably sounds ridiculous, but there's just something about the texture of the rubber and the metallic top piece that were an instant hit with me. Functionally perfect, so far. I have had not issues while using it with my phone or my computer. I was hoping to add it to my console for some additional storage there, but more would be required than I plan to do for now. The amount of storage is incredible for such a compact drive. Overall, the entire thing is a huge win!

Pocket Power

from Thorofare
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little hard drive from Samsung is impressive. I connected it to my cellphone and transferred 303 files in less than 30 seconds. It's easy to use and fast. I did have to use an adapter to connect it to my laptop though. The connecting cable is USB-C on both ends of the cable, but don't let that stop you from getting this hard drive. It's 2 TB in a small pocket-sized device. I will continue to use this drive to backup the pictures from my cell phone. 2 TB is a lot of storage space, especially for pictures. The drive is the perfect weight to carry around in your pocket or purse in case you need to store data or transfer data from one device to another.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lightning Speeds, Secure and Mighty
on January 11, 2024

from NAPERVILLE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little guy can be characterized as a powerhouse, in a few different meanings.
The most important detail, when considering a portable SSD, is how well it will hold up outside of a safe, office environment. The T5 Evo Portable SSD answers that question by encasing a quality SSD in a shock-resistant rubber housing. The materials appear high quality, even if you have to slightly sacrifice some of its "looking new"-ness by way of how much dust and scuffs the rubber housing can show. Ultimately, this is designed to be something you can toss in a bag, pocket or any other on-the-go accessory. Also, it is very lightweight. At just over 100 grams, this weighs just about as much as a stick of butter.
With regards to its performance, you know you can trust Samsung and you (hopefully) know the performance benefits of an SSD over a standard, external HDD. The "solid-state" aspect of the SSD makes lightning speeds of any programs kept within it or the transferring of files between various electronics (smartphone, laptop, camera, etc.). The T5 Evo SSD boasts speeds of up to 460 MB/s, which will surely make quick work of the majority of the files that you may want to use this for.
Lastly, a great benefit to have in today's world is its 256-bit AES encryption capabilities. AES 256 encryption is rated as "extremely secure" and touted as one of the most secure encryption algorithms available today. Again, you can't be too secure in today's world and that is especially true for something that stores a large amount of data and designed to be portable in use.
The T5 Evo claims to work in temperatures as low as 32 degrees (0 degrees C) Fahrenheit and can operate in environments as high as 140 degrees (60 degrees C) Fahrenheit. It comes with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable, yet that cable is also designed to be used near the main source you're connecting it to. If you are planning to use this at your home office desk, and your USB port is more than 6 inches from you, you will likely need to get a longer cable to easily plug and unplug the SSD.
At 2TB, 4TB & 8TB options you get a variety of storage levels to suit your specific needs. I would recommend this product and have enjoyed its performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for cars too!

from SAN FRANCISCO
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Samsung T5 EVO 2TB SSD for my car for a couple of weeks and it's been great. I drive a model X which now supports Steam games. Since the onboard memory is not enough if you have a big library of games, having the T5 EVO SSD is perfect. Connection was easy through one cable in the glovebox and formatting took less than 30 seconds.
After formatted, I loaded all my games on the SDD and thanks to the 460mb/s read speeds, the games ran without lag or jitter.
The drive's construction is solid and it's light while not feeling cheap. The case has a rubber material that is non slip while not attracting finger prints.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using T5 EVO Portable SSD for the past 15 days. It is not only the best portable SSD in the market but also has an excellent read and write speed. It comes it differnt storage options to meet your requirements. I am using T5 EVO to store my pictures and videos and 2 TB space is decent storage size. Another great feature is the ability to password protect the drive to avoid unauthorized data access. It has shock resistant rubber design to protect the SSD if it falls accidently. Overall, it is a compact, secured and well built SSD to save your important data and I defintely recommend it to others.
