Samsung Portable SSD T5 EVO 8TB USB 3.2 Gen 1 460MB/s Read 460MB/s Write External Hard Drive for Mac, PC, Android, Smart TVs and Game Consoles. Includes USB-C Cable MU-PH8T0S/EU

I got Samsung SSD T5 EVO 8TB brand new yesterday but when I checked it I found out it is 7.2TB there is 800GB missing.

Very portable and resistant. You can leave it inside your backpack for days, mixed with other objects, and it will not be damaged. Good info access speed. Easy and versatile usb cable to connect it to any device

I wanted a 2T SSD remote SSD drive and had 3 1T-SanDisks so I tried their 2Tb unit....couldn't get it to access, not visually anyway (strangely it had audible access), just nada for any screen visual access) so I returned it and then tried Samsung'sT5 EVO 2Tbyte device just recently out. It worked great, fast and digitally accurate to a tee. Of course, the nature of digital. I can get a lot of data on it and am happy so far with it's performance. I'm going to test it further. Lots of testing. It's what I do. UPDATE; So far, so good on 2 Samsun 2Tb T5 EVO units.....compared with 2 out of 3 other multi-Tb (other brand) units NOT solid state, FAILING.....and irritating me to no end....because they were intended as 'backups' and when you lose THEM what are you supposed to do? UPDATE on 080825: This 'big memory' compact SSD remote drive certainly appears to be what I was looking for....for specific large memory uses, primarily for backups. They have shown (the 2 Tb's) very fast performance and of course, extremely large memory capacity. I'm tempted to progress on the backup task to the newer 4 or 8 Tb SSD's, since it seems that Samsung has it's act together on QUALITY CONTROL.......you know, don't you hate buy something in that price range and it dies from over-heating, or failure to access, etc? It's a fact that both high speed AND compact memories are major factors in that mode of failure....and when it's gone, it's gone. A computer repair owner friend of mine once told me that the small solid state SD cards would work perfectly right up to eventually failing suddenly (must use 'backup') and I believe it is due to excessive heat. I was used to the 1 Tb Samsung micro memory cards (as long as I didn't LOSE them!) and these 2+ Tb SSD devices are NOT, thus far, a disappointment. I hope any bigger ones I try out will be as dependable as the 2 Tb T5 EVO units have been so far. If the real big ones can handle the heat dissipation, which Samsung seems to have done while others not-so-much, (seen the off-brand 2Tb SSD cards discontinued?) as far as I'm concerned. I may soon be looking for one of those bigger T5 EVO's soon....worth a try, and it will be Samsung, thank you. Maybe they'll even be made in OUR country soon. Hope so, seriously.

When sold for less than 100€ for 2TB of a quality SSD, that is a bargain. I bought two for my video production setup and use them every day with no issues.

Connected via USB-C to my iMac 27 late 2014 I see pretty good speed. 4TB capacity is good to backup some files.

Happy with the storage device. Wished it came with usb c to usb a. But I purchased a mini adapter from ugreen which works great. Also purchased a protective pouch custom made for it and available here on Amazon. The speed is great, i won't give technicalities, but it's the fastest usb stuck I have. And I have alot. I am now planning to replace all other hdds internal and external. One issue was my usb hub would not detect it, it was the same with my wife's USB hub on her surface pro 4. We found that we need to disable power options from windows for the os to control the sleep etc for the power hub and that allows the USB. Hub to recieve more power and turn on. I will later experiment this with my wiiU if it can work on the single usb hub. Be nice to get ride of clunky hdds connected there. I also took another 8 tb usb stick from Samsung. Love this. Can dump all my old hdds and clutter.
