01 — Overview

In the Solid State Drives portfolio

The T5 EVO prioritizes capacity over speed: up to 8 TB in a compact rubber-finished body with an integrated carry loop, the largest capacity in Samsung's portable line. Transfers run at up to 460 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 1.

It suits creators archiving finished projects, gamers carrying large libraries, and small businesses moving datasets between sites — cases where a single high-capacity device beats juggling multiple faster drives. AES-256 encryption and a three-year warranty are standard.
