High capacity using the latest tech
on January 24, 2024
Posted by: jflatt
from Las Vegas
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had to migrate the data from an old computer onto a new one. Using the Samsung T5 EVO USB drive made the process so much more enjoyable. Luckily the new computer has USB 3 and its own internal SSD. The transfer of files is fast and silent, no more clunky CDROM drives needed to install the OS, and no more noisy spinning hard drives.
Copying the old files over is quick too, and since this portable SSD drive has a ton of capacity I can just leave everything on there as a backup too, and still have plenty of room.
The new computer was up and running in record time, it felt very high-tech doing all of this so quickly and silently.

This drive also has protective rubberized coating that feels good in the hands, and the status LED is actually useful, showing different colors and blinking to show when it's safe to unplug. I tried out the included software, it was fine for what it does, includes the basic necessities. Overall I really like this drive, I love that I can have so much storage space and just keep it in my pocket.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not Seamless with Macs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, the box and packaging look stylish and modern. I like the blue ombré type color effect. What I didn’t like was when I first saw the device in the box it was covered in white fibers from the box contents. Trying to get them off for a clean photo, didn’t work. The rubberized exterior is nice for shock absorption if it’s dropped but it’s a lint magnet as well.
For me, the set up and usage of the T5 EVO 2TB Portable SDD wasn’t issue free. The box says it’s compatible with MacOS, Windows, and Android which was nice. There were some hiccups, a restart I had to do, and some permissions I had to allow in my Security System Settings. It also gave a few dialogue and error messages in the process. Seeing as the setup folder had Win and Android text files, it seems this is better suited for Windows and Android devices. When I finally had the setup all done I started a backup of my computer. It struggled majorly to calculate the remaining time. It took about 5 minutes to get any kind of calculated time. Finally it said 24 minutes. For me, this seems slower than other devices I’ve had. Overall, it seems to be quality in terms of the look and manufacturing. But, it’s yet to be determined if it’s durable and lasting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Portability with Greater Speed
on January 26, 2024
Posted by: fipague
from NAPERVILLE
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow is this little SSD easy to carry around! At just 4" by 2", it goes anywhere you want it to and fits in any personal accessory that you might have. It also weights about the same as 2 eggs, which is almost nothing (100 grams).
The SSD design is also almost 4x faster than your normal HDD when it comes to data transfer and writing. The "up to" 460 MB/s is insanely fast if you are an average file user. It might actually take you longer to find the SDD in your drawer than it would to copy the info from location to location.
Also, it is tough - both in design and security. This thing is drop resistant up to 6 feet while having military-grade security with its 256 AES Hardware Encryption. This is a mighty little device that can be easily used for work, personal or other reasons.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing little portable SSD!
on January 26, 2024
Posted by: Dreamer877
from Farmington
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy I got this SSD when I did! It was truly a lifesaver since my phone has been acting up. I needed to transfer all my videos and photos over to it.... I have thousands! This transfer was so smooth and quick. I was floored how fast it went. I have a 1TB phone! Probably half filled with photos. I would definitely recommend this little handy device to anyone that is looking. The only one down side I would say is that dust sticks to it easy for whatever reason. That isn't a big deal and wipes off just as easy. Love love love this!

My Comprehensive Review of the Samsung T5 EVO Port
on January 26, 2024
Posted by: Ciprip7
from Northampton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. Let me walk you through my impressions.
Storage Capacity: The T5 EVO offers an impressive range of storage capacities, catering to diverse storage needs. I opted for the 2TB version, providing ample space for my growing collection of files, documents, and multimedia. The flexibility in choosing the right storage size for individual requirements is a definite plus.
SSD Performance: One word: exceptional. The T5 EVO harnesses the power of SSD technology, delivering blazing-fast transfer speeds. Whether I'm transferring large video files or accessing data-intensive applications, the T5 EVO ensures swift and reliable performance. It's like having a portable powerhouse at my fingertips.
I also tried it on my PS5, and Xbox Series X and I wasn't disappointed.

Compatibility: This SSD seamlessly integrates into my tech ecosystem. With USB-C and USB 3.2 compatibility, I can connect it to a wide range of devices, from my laptop to my gaming console. Sadly, it only comes with the USB-C to USB-C cable but fortunately I had a USB-A to USB-C cable to test. While the lack of a USB-a to USB-C cable is somewhat disappointing, most customers will definitely have one laying around, making the HDD a versatile option and ready for any situation.
Weight and Dimensions: The T5 EVO's sleek and compact design is a game-changer for on-the-go professionals like me. Weighing in at only 3.598 ounces, it's incredibly lightweight, making it easy to slip into my pocket or laptop bag. The slim form factor adds to its portability without compromising on durability. The brushed aluminum finish not only looks stylish but also provides an extra layer of protection.
In conclusion, the Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD is a remarkable storage solution that combines capacity, speed, and versatility. Its performance and compatibility make it an ideal companion for professionals, content creators, and anyone in need of reliable, high-speed storage on the go. I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase, and I
wholeheartedly recommend it to others seeking top-notch portable SSD performance.

from Bridgeport
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently started using the Samsung T5 Evo Portable SSD, and I am so impressed! I used it on a MacBook, and it was extremely easy to use. I just plugged it in and started transferring files. It has ample storage capacity which is great because I always seem to be running low on storage space. My files transferred over so fast! It’s compact in design and highly portable. I could carry it in my pocket if I desired. I love that it’s durable because I will inevitably drop it. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for external storage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are so many portable SSD in the market, but Samsung E5 EVO is definitely the best among them. It has shock proof cover that makes it safe while traveling. It also has password lock to avoid unauthorized access. Another great feature is its fast read and write speed. 2TB space is also enough to save your files, photos and videos. Overall, it has all the features you want from SSD drive. I highly recommend it.
