5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and convenient
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2024
Grippy exterior, not likely to be dropped. Fast, easy to partition and get started. Expensive, but worth the micronized storage size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung Quality is the Best and the Brand that I trust with my data
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024
I buy samsung as it is the only drive that always works, as I had other ones fail. What is nice about this unit is that it doesn't get super hot transfering data and is super sturdy with this nice grippy silicone material on it. Have several units and they work great. Yes they are a slightly slower transfer speed that some other ones, however not noticeable even with video editing. What is also nice is that it comes in 8tb versions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung T5s are great
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024
I wanted SSD drives and bought 2 of them and they work great. These are also small and don't take up space. I've put hooks on the wall behind my computer and they are hanging on the hooks. I will likely buy more of these drives.

1.0 out of 5 stars Update: Crashed yesterday and required formatting / Excellent speeds and memory stick like size
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024
The media could not be loaded.
 Update: It unfortunately crashed yesterday all of a sudden and required formatting. I could access it, therefore had to format. Lost all of my data BUT was fortunate enough that I had a second 8TB Samsung Evo. Took me all night to copy all files again from one SSD into another. Be careful and try to keep 3 copies of your files on different devices for such occasions. Taking my words back regarding that SSD being awesome. Appears to be not reliable at all.

I was not sure whether to buy it or not since I saw a lot of negative feedbacks here. I am happy that I decided to go with it and purchased it. I have attached a 13 sec. video without any blurring where you can see openly that I reached an average of 250-260 MB/S speed when I was writing big video files onto my T5 EVO, 8 TB. Take into account that I have been copying from T7 Shield, 4 TB. connected directly to Type-C input on my laptop to T5 EVO, 8 TB connected to docking station through Type-A, USB 3.0. Nevertheless, I have got the mentioned speed of writing. For the small files, the speeds of writing get slower and be sometimes around 15-20 MB/S, but it happens with all drives of such type. For me, it is NOT a decisive factor since I use T7 Shield SSDs (I have 4 of them, 4 TB. each) and T5 EVO, 8 TB. to backup my files and do not constantly erase and write new files. Also, plays smoothly on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra smartphone. Highly recommend this product since it is small and can easily accommodate into anybody's pocket and it is so convenient to carry it with yourself at any times.

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024
Though Its Slower Than Most USB SSDs At 460MB/s (10 Gbps and 20 Gbps Drives), Its A Massive 8 TB Drive That Has A Sustained USB 3.2 Gen 1 Speed Of (5 Gbps). Attracts A Lot Of Dust On Its Surface, But Its Solid & Well Built. Its Still A Lot Faster Than Conventional Hard Drives & Worth Every Penny. I Can Recommend This For Data Storage & Transfer, But Not For 4K Video Editing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Crashed after I rebooted my computer
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024
It is a nice little drive. After I loaded 2 tb on it and rebooted my Windows computer it indicated that it was unformatted. WTF! I am reformatting the drive now, but it indicates that only 7.2 TB is available. This thing is going back.

It great ssd! Only knock is the shape, but obviously doesn’t affect the performance. Got a great deal and it works fine. An added bonus is it came with a longer than usual usb c data cord. Meaning you can use it to charge your android or newer iPhone.
Works great.
