Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD 2TB, USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Solid State Drive, Seq. Read Speeds Up to 460MB/s for Gaming and Content Creation, MU-PH2T0S/AM, Black

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.

I recently switched from my external hard drives to a couple of these SSD's and I have been thoroughly impressed. The size is extremely small for an 8TB storage. I get pretty good read and write speeds and it is so quiet of course. There is a blue indicator light thst lights up when it's being used. It's made to be rugged and taken on the go but I'm using mine for Steam game storage and backups for my photos/videos. I am using Type C cables and I sometimes get disconnects. I believe this is just an issue with my front ports when they get bumped and I have a Type C hub on order there should hopefully solve that issue. It is quite expensive but the life expectancy over a hard drive is significant and so much quieter.

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.

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.

DO NOT BE FOOLED. Absolute garbage. Seriously. I've had two fail, and the two I have left are barely hanging on. They're incredibly slow the more you fill them up, and often cause finder to crash when mounted. Really really REALLY bad an overpriced. I work in post production and take good care of my drives. STEER CLEAR!

In limited use, this drive is blindingly fast, extremely compact, runs on bus power (i.e., power provided by the host), and works with Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, etc. Can't really think of anything bad to say, though black, while basic, is also boring. A nice, deep blue would have been cool.

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.

Great little drive, small enough to be easily portable with more than enough storage for pretty much everything you can think of... This is a good product, if not for the expense of acquiring it. But if you can afford it, then snap one up and back up or use it as a primary between machines and friends and anything else.

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.

Prompt delivery, item as described, great performance

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.
