Throughout the mobile storage industry, 1TB and 2TB SSDs are currently the mainstream, 4TB capacity is not common, and 8TB portable SSDs are basically not available in the consumer-grade market. As a representative of the storage industry, Samsung Storage recently released a massive portable SSD with a capacity of up to 8TB, which has once again become the focus of the industry, providing a new choice for many users with large-capacity storage space.
Today we are going to experience this Samsung T5 EVO portable SSD with you.
Exterior Part:
The packaging of Samsung T5 EVO adopts a blue, gradient transition design, and the front is a physical rendering of T5 EVO, the whole package is relatively simple, and the atmosphere of professional style is obvious.
The lower left corner of the hard disk is 8TB of large capacity, as well as 460MB S performance, and the upper right corner is to support Windows, macOS and Android systems, which are basically compatible with mainstream operating systems on the market, so in terms of compatibility, Samsung, as the current manufacturer, has a unique adaptability performance, which can meet the use of various external devices.
Samsung T5 EVO enjoys a 3-year effective warranty, and supports encryption technology, and because it is a solid-state drive, the internal structure has innate superiority, so that Samsung T5 EVO can resist a certain impact, 2 meters of drop resistance, and deal with daily general vibration, no problem at all with drops.
Open the package, we see the Samsung T5 EVO portable solid state drive, the three measurements of the hard disk are 40*95*17mm, the weight is 102g, the overall is very light, and there is no pressure to carry it daily.
In terms of appearance material, it is a skin-like material layer, which is very delicate to the touch, and there is a metal hanger at the tail of the hard disk, which is convenient for us to hang the hard disk on the backpack and body, which is convenient for us to find and use.
In terms of interface, a double C-port data cable is included in the package, which is convenient for us to connect various devices.
When working, the blue indicator next to the Samsung T5 EVO interface will flash to work, helping us to confirm the working status of the hard disk, and the interface type used by the Samsung T5 EVO is USB 32Gen1 5Gbps rate,460MB S rate basically represents the full speed of this interface,This rate can basically meet the daily use requirements of most users,Storage movies、** and other files,The rate is completely sufficient。
With the new iPhone 15 Pro series mobile phones using the Type-C interface, Samsung T5 EVO is also compatible with the new version of the Apple 15 Pro series, we can see that the indicator light has cooled after we connect to the iPhone 15 PROMAX, for many Type-C devices, whether it is a tablet, mobile phone or laptop, Samsung T5 EVO can be well compatible, to meet the data transfer between various types of devices, daily use is more convenient.
Follow-up we use Apple iPhone 15 ProMax external recording ProRes format 4K60FPS HD**, showing that you can also record nearly 600 minutes of time, for content creators, if you shoot post-creation through mobile phones, Samsung T5 EVO has a large capacity of 8TB storage space, you can store more** materials, and after recording, you can also copy these materials directly to the computer for post-processing, It greatly improves the convenience of content creation, and the 8TB massive SSD is also the only one on the market, which is suitable for many content creators.
Performance Testing:
The performance test part we chose the windows system for testing, and in the place where the room temperature is 26, after our actual test, the performance part is as follows.
If your computer has installed the Samsung Magician software in advance, then the Samsung T5 EVO will be automatically recognized as soon as you plug it in, and will remind the user to set a password to protect our data, AES 256-bit hardware-level encryption to ensure that the data will not be stolen, and if your password is too simple, the software will also remind you to set a more complex password.
And in the Samsung Magician software, we can also see the actual working status of the hard disk, and can also perform firmware upgrades, performance testing, full disk scanning and other operations on the hard disk, so that the key information of Samsung T5 EVO is presented to us at a glance.
Benchmark test, through the benchmark test within the Samsung Magician software, it can be seen that the Samsung T5 Evo has a sequential read speed of 438MB s.
In addition, we can also perform a full disk scan of the drive letter to view the working status of each data block of the current hard disk, and find problems in time to solve them and avoid data loss.
In addition, within the software, we can also upgrade the firmware of the SSD to ensure the normal performance of the HDD.
Let's take a practical test, through the CrystalDiskInfo information, we can see that the Samsung T5 EVO has a capacity of 80015GB, support SATA protocol.
The first is the CrystalDiskMark 8, which we are very familiar with0 test, after the actual test, it can be seen that the sequential read and write performance of Samsung T5 EVO exceeds 460MB S, in addition, the random read performance of the hard disk reaches 380MB S, and the random write is 439MB S, and the performance has belonged to the ceiling level of the current SATA interface hard disk interface.
In the AS SSD benchmark test, we can see that the Samsung T5 Evo achieves a sequential read score of 43325mb s, sequential write score of 43512MB s, 4K random write performance of 34393 IOPS.
In the Atto DiskMark test, we saw that the Samsung T5 Evo exceeded 440MB s in sequential read and write terms, which is enough for daily use.
Txbench's sequential read and write scores are over 460MB s, which is faster than the official claim, and the performance is excellent at 331MB s for random read and 405 MB for random write, which is also even better for daily use.
We used HD Tune Pro for file benchmarking, and we can see that in actual use, when the hard disk writes 10G files, the read and write are stable at about 450MB s, and the sequential read and write performance is very good, which can well ensure our daily use performance.
Write at the end:
Samsung T5 EVO as a new member of the Samsung family, 8TB of ultra-large capacity has become one of the largest mobile SSDs in the consumer market, which is very suitable for those users who have large-capacity data storage needs, and excellent compatibility performance, can run on mainstream operating systems, copy data, backup data will be more convenient, this mobile SSD has been listed, students in need may wish to seize the time to start.
