On the 15th, Samsung Electronics announced the launch of the new portable SSD 'T5 EVO,' which features an industry-leading 8TB capacity in a compact size.

8TB can store approximately 2 million photos of 3.5MB each. It can also hold more than 160 4K UHD movies of 50GB each. Samsung Electronics introduced this large-capacity product to allow users to freely utilize it for various lifestyles, including high-resolution videos, photos, and games.

The T5 EVO is based on the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and offers data transfer speeds 3.8 times faster than external HDDs. It supports continuous read/write speeds of up to 460MB per second, enabling users to easily transfer high-definition files.

To enhance portability, an ergonomic design was applied to improve grip, and the weight is light at 102g. A metal ring shaped like a hook is also applied to the top of the product, allowing it to be attached to bags or other belongings. The metal body is wrapped in rubber material to increase durability, enabling it to withstand drops from heights of up to 2 meters.

The T5 EVO incorporates overheating prevention technology and hardware data encryption to enhance safety and security. The Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology prevents overheating and maintains the drive temperature at an optimal level. It also supports 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption.

The T5 EVO is available in one color: black. Capacities come in three options: 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB. It supports USB-C type cables, allowing it to connect to various devices such as Windows and Mac PCs, smartphones, tablet PCs, and game consoles.
