Portable SSD with decent speed but a caveat
Bought this to backup just about everything I have digitally. Drive looks well made (though the rubber coating is a dust magnet) and the read/write speeds, while not top-notch, is still decent enough for my needs. The surprising part being it cannot be securely erased, even with Samsung’s own software. This means I can’t simply wipe the drive and sell it on the used market a few years on. Hope Samsung will listen and address this in a firmware update.

Works but slow
Easy to setup and use but real life data transfer speeds are painfully slow. Looks well made , small and easy to transport. Expensive for what it is given the slow performance
Richard Aziaya –
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH REKORDBOX
Tried every troubleshooting step available to try and get this working. I’ve worked in IT for 10 years, but cannot get the drive to work within Rekordbox which is what I purchased it for. Will be sending it back.
Jasmin Anderson –
Seems solid
Great little 8tb SSD for a reasonable price, could have a quicker write speed for a SSD but youâd probably have to pay more for that.

Drive crashed with all media on day 1
We had a film shoot for a TV show, and we lost a day of footage on one of the drives which crashed on its first transfer out of the box. We bought 8 of these and avoiding at all costs.

Compré otro disco duro pequeñito y el doble de Tb y era una estafa asà q tenÃa algo de miedo al adquirir este y genial, estoy muy contenta con la compra aunk en ocasiones mi pc pierda el contacto al copiar y pegar pero se solventa bien, aún asÃ, es mejorable en ese detalle aunk muy contenta por lo demás, es un diseño bastante bonito, q ocupa muy poco espacio y es muy cuki ð

Super happy with the product, great price. If you’re not looking for a fast drive of 8 TB that’s the perfect chose. The only downside is the low speed… but again 8TB in such a small drive ðð»

I got Samsung SSD T5 EVO 8TB brand new yesterday but when I checked it I found out it is 7.2TB there is 800GB missing.
Andrew K. –
Very pleased. Not ,the fastest SSD but for the backup I use it for it is adequate. It was $50 less shortly after I bought it and tried to get my overpayment refunded. Amazon agreed but never issued the credit. As of now it is back up to the original price
