Data is protected from two-meter drops and sent at 3.8 times the speed of an external HDD
Samsung Electronics, a semiconductor technology pioneer, introduced the T5 EVO, a lightweight portable SSD with up to 8 terabytes (TB) of capacity, the most on the market. Modern, adaptable, and quick, the T5 EVO SSD is small and sturdy.
According to Hangu Sohn, Vice President of Samsung Electronics’ Memory Brand Product Biz Team, “For consumers looking for substitutes for traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), the T5 EVO offering the largest-available capacity along with speed and durability in a compact design that fits in the palm of your hand is an innovative, new external storage option.” The T5 EVO is designed to meet the demands of a broad spectrum of customers with various lifestyles. Users who wish to save and retrieve data anywhere at any time will find its up to 8TB storage, quick speeds, small size, and data security from external shocks ideal.
Based on USB 3.2 Gen 1, the T5 EVO features sequential read and write rates of up to 460 MB/s, making large file transfers easier. It transmits data 3.8 times faster than external HDDs.
Improved Transportability and Ergonomic Structure
The T5 EVO is designed to be “Compact and Light Ergonomic.” With an ergonomic form that deviates from the size of a business card for the first time, the portable SSD is designed to offer a fresh experience while retaining lightweight and small characteristics. With dimensions of 95 mm for width, 40 mm for length, and 17 mm for thickness, users may have an 8 TB portable storage device that fits in their palm. When compared to an external HDD, this combination of tiny size and high memory offers consumers quicker speeds, similar capacity, and a smaller, lighter body. The product’s thoughtfully crafted weight of 102 grams also inspires confidence in its robustness.
In addition, the T5 EVO features a titan gray ring and a black body, which give it a premium, elegant appearance. It also mixes in well with other gray-colored host devices. The metal ring design of the T5 EVO makes it simple to attach to any suitcase or piece of baggage. Its rubberized surface and metal body also offer additional protection against shocks from the outside, such as fall of up to two meters.
Store Millions of Images and Music Quickly and Easily
The T5 EVO maintains capacity despite its easy-to-use design. The T5 EVO is appropriate for both work and pleasure, thanks to its 8TB data storage capacity, which allows it to save enormous files, high-definition films, images, and games. More than 2 million 3.5-megabyte (MB) images, 1.8 million 4MB audio files, or 3,500 2-gigabyte (GB) films may be stored on an 8TB T5 EVO.
Safety Is Top Priority With Thermal Guard Protection
The new Portable SSD places a high priority on security with hardware data encryption and safety with heat protection technology. According to international safety standard IEC 62368-1, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology protects against overheating and maintains ideal operating temperatures. Additionally, users may save data with confidence because the portable SSD supports Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit hardware data encryption.
Broad Compatibility for a Diverse User Base
Numerous host devices and operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Android, and game consoles, are compatible with the T5 EVO. Additionally, Samsung Magician software, which offers an extensive range of drive management tools, is included with the T5 EVO.
