Samsung launches T5 EVO portable SSDs with up to 8TB capacity

Matthew Wilson November 14, 2023 Hard Drives, SSD Drives

Samsung has released plenty of high-speed portable SSDs over the years but the company is looking to impress data hoarders in particular with its latest. The new Samsung T5 EVO delivers almost 4X the transfer speeds of an external HDD and up to 8TB of storage capacity. 

The Samsung T5 EVO provides up to 8TB of storage capacity and enhanced speeds over a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. Compared to an external HDD, this portable SSD offers 3.8X faster transfer speeds, topping out at 460MB/s, putting it in a similar ballpark to a SATA SSD.

Of course, if you are carrying your data around with you, you'll also want to make sure it is secure and protected. The compact and light design of the T5 EVO makes it easy to hold in one hand, while the metal body and rubberised surface will protect your data from shock damage should you ever drop it.

The Samsung T5 EVO Portable SSD will be available in 2TB, 4TB and 8TB capacity options, priced at £159.99, £294.99 and £538.99 respectively.
