Samsung Portable SSD T5 EVO 2TB 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-PH2T0S/WW

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.

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.

Excellent fast and tiny (for its capacity) hard drive

Sehr stabiles Gehäuse. Ob die Gummierung sich in Sauerei zerlegt, muss die Zeit zeigen, das dürfte aber die Funktion nicht beeinträchtigen. Die Platte ist so schnell, wie man es von einer SATA-Platte an USB erwarten darf und bricht auch in normalem Maß bei kleineren Dateien ein. Große ISO-Datei lesen 333MB/s, schreiben 250 MB/s, Bilder schreiben 120 MB/s, alles gute Werte. Sie wird nicht warm. Sie wird bei mir an allen Geräten sofort und problemlos erkannt. Ich lasse virtuelle Maschinen von dieser Platte laufen. Das geht problemlos und ist schnell genug, dass es nur in sehr schreibintensiven Momenten ein wenig auffällt. Alles in allem ein toller mobiler Speicher. Es geht leichter, kleiner und schneller, aber nicht für den Preis, nicht so stabil und nicht so problemlos.

I've got it to store my stuff on it.... much faster than hdd to copy, not that fast as nvme but it do not require any additional power source. Just plug and play. does the job perfectly

fijne ssd.
