Samsung T5 Evo Portable SSD

El rendimiento es el factor limitante en esta unidad, pues con 400 MB/s reales estamos lejos de las opciones más potentes como el Samsung T9. 50 GB apenas nos llegan 2 minutos de transferencia, pero debemos tener en cuenta el precio para ver si es suficiente o no.

Though not the swiftest of USB drives, the small, rugged Samsung T5 EVO compensates with up to 8TB of affordable capacity. If you’re not in a hurry you’ll the love the space it provides for your stuff.

Samsung's T5 Evo portable SSD is roomier, speedier, and more durable than the portable hard drives it's looking to replace. But it's slow for a solid-state drive, and in desperate need of a price drop.

Aside from the hardware specs and new design, the new T5 EVO is slated to be similar to other Samsung Portable SSDs. It's a rugged drive that will work right away when plugged into a host, be it a Windows computer, a Mac, or an Android, thanks to the low power consumption and the preformatted exFAT file system.

The T5 Evo is a fairly solid, middle-of-the-range, SSD that performs adequately enough. The fact that it comes in 3 different sizes gives consumers the flexibility to choose which one is right for them. The operating temperature has a great range so you’ll have no problems there but the read/write speed lets this device down with only 460 MB/sec possible. If you want faster speeds then there are better options out there but if you’re not too concerned then the T5 Evo will be fine.
