Portable 2 TB SSD with USB 3.2 Gen 1

The Samsung T5 EVO is an external solid-state drive that provides 2 TB of storage in a compact metal enclosure. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1 and delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 460 MB/s. The drive weighs 102 g and measures 95 x 40 x 17 mm, and a USB-C cable is included in the box.

Suits users who need broad device compatibility

This drive works with Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 5, PCs, laptops, cameras and other USB-equipped devices. It is not for users who require transfer rates above 460 MB/s, nor for those who need an internal drive form factor.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface capped at 460 MB/s

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface with a maximum sequential throughput of 460 MB/s for both reads and writes. If your workflow demands higher bandwidth, this drive will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Is the 2 TB model the only capacity available for the T5 EVO?

The T5 EVO series is available with storage capacities of up to 8 TB, so the 2 TB version is one of several options.

What real-world transfer speed should I expect from the 460 MB/s rating on this drive?

The 460 MB/s figure is the maximum sequential read and write speed; actual performance will depend on the host device, file sizes and the USB port used.

Does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface limit the 460 MB/s speed in practice?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 has a theoretical maximum of 5 Gbps, which is higher than the drive's 460 MB/s rating, so the interface does not cap the stated speed.
