8TB hard disk introduce

8TB mobile SSD review The perfect alternative to mobile mechanical hard disks
We offer the 8tb hard disk price and 8tb hard disk lists

Now we recommend the brand is samsung.

The application of mobile mechanical hard disk has at least a decade of history, and people love and hate it: love is that it has a large capacity (up to 5TB), hate is that the internal complex mechanical structure is too delicate, bump or fall may cause serious damage and data loss, weak performance for TB level file transfer is more like a nightmare. Therefore, the high capacity and drop resistant mobile solid state drive PSSD is increasingly attracting people's attention, such as Samsung's latest T5 EVO.
As a new member of Samsung's mobile solid state drive family, Samsung T5 EVO has achieved a high-energy Evolution relative to the same brother T5, EVO is the abbreviation of Evolution, not only continues the high-performance family genes, but also further deepens the concept of "portability", and has a capacity beyond the traditional mobile mechanical hard disk. It can accommodate more large files, high-resolution videos, photos, and games for work and play.
Let's take a look at the features of the Samsung T5 EVO mobile SSD
1, the first deviation from the size of the name card, the body is more compact;
2, high quality rubber shell, provide 2 meters of fall protection;
3, the metal ring buckle design is more portable;
4, capacity of 2TB, 4TB and 8TB optional;

The T5 EVO emphasizes the design concept of "small, lightweight and ergonomic", which deviates from the size of the business card for the first time, and the body size of 40*95*17mm is more compact and compact, weighing only 102 grams, and can be easily held by one hand, giving people a feeling of love. The end of the body is equipped with a metal ring buckle, which can be easily fixed on the backpack or luggage, and the titanium gray color has a high fashion sense, which is very natural and harmonious with the gray and silver color equipment.
The body is in all-black color, with the "SAMSUNG" brand logo on the front. The rubber shell has excellent grip feeling and anti-slip effect, and also has excellent anti-external impact performance, with 2 meters of fall protection, and low thermal conductivity, which can prevent heat accumulation resulting in low temperature burns.
On the back of the body is the Portable SSD T5 EVO product logo.
The T5 EVO is equipped with a mainstream Type-C interface at the top, and the indicator light is hidden under the cover plate for a strong overall sense.
One end of the metal clasp identifies the product model, capacity, operating voltage and current, S/N code and various certification information.
The Type-C to C cable comes with excellent all-platform compatibility, making it easy to transfer data between PC/MAC, Apple iPhone15/Android smartphones and tablets.

2 Benchmark Continuous read/write performance is excellent

The Samsung T5 EVO we tested is an 8TB version, which means it can store more than 2 million 3.5MB photos, 1.8 million 4MB music files, or 3,500 2GB videos. Crystal Disk info shows that its actual capacity is 8001.5GB, at 26℃ room temperature idle temperature is only 28℃, using UASP protocol and SATA600 transmission mode, equipped with Type-C interface support USB3.2 Gen1 standard.
It can be seen from the figure below that the USB3.2Gen1 interface bandwidth is 5Gbps, and the traditional mechanical mobile hard disk basically uses such an interface, but the read and write speed usually can only reach about 120MB/s, while the Samsung T5 EVO nominal read and write speed is up to 460MB/s, which is 3.8 times that of the mobile mechanical hard disk. The bandwidth of the USB3.2 Gen1 interface is almost full.
In the Crystal Disk Mark test, the highest sequential read and write speeds of the Samsung T5 EVO 8TB were 461.05MB/s and 463.6MB/s, both of which reached the nominal value of 460MB/s and also met the performance level of high-speed USB3.2Gen1 mobile storage devices. Random performance is also up to 43K IOPS and 40K IOPS.
We also found a 500GB mobile mechanical hard disk for comparison, after testing it can be seen that its maximum sequential read and write speed is only 82.19MB/s and 80.89MB/s, it can be seen that the Samsung T5 EVO 8TB sequential read and write performance is more than 5 times its, and the random performance is more than 124 times!
In ATTO Disk Benchmark, a commonly used mobile storage device test software, the Samsung T5 EVO 8TB's 4KB file read/write speed reached 69.34MB/s and 25.6MB/s respectively, and the read/write speed from 256KB exceeded 420MB/s. After 512KB, the read/write speed reaches 440MB/s, which is close to the nominal level.
In order to improve the performance of consumer solid state storage devices, the industry generally adopts the SLC cache strategy, Samsung named it TurboWrite technology, that is, to carve out part of the free capacity to simulate SLC read and write, store data at the fastest speed to write SLC cache, and then in free time to move the data to the conventional storage area. Therefore, the size of SLC cache directly affects the user's experience of large file transfer.
In HD Tune Pro, we wrote 280GB data to Samsung T5 EVO 8TB (higher than this value software will directly report I/O errors), its read and write speed is above 447,000KB /s, the curve is very flat without speed loss, which indicates that its TurboCache space is much higher than 280GB. Effectively ensure the efficiency of users copying high-definition video materials, 3D modeling materials and other large files.

3 File read and write test speeds up to five times faster than mechanical portable hard disks

In the PCMARK10 data disk benchmark test, we will continuously write 15GB of data to the Samsung T5 EVO 8TB, and visually display it in a numerical way, and the final score is 915 points, the bandwidth is 142.99MB/s, and the average access time is 148us. Compared with the USB3.2 Gen1 mobile mechanical hard disk performance has a significant performance improvement.
Due to the limitations of the Windows system Capital Manager, the actual file transfer speed of the mobile storage device will be somewhat different from the benchmark test. We copied 7.5GB of files from the mobile mechanical hard drive to the desktop, and reached a reading speed of more than 70MB/s in the stable phase; The same file is then copied from the desktop to the mobile mechanical hard disk, and the write speed is also more than 70MB/s in the stable stage.
Then copy this 7.5GB file from the T5 EVO 8TB to the desktop, reading speed can reach 380MB/s or more in the stable phase; The same file is then copied from the desktop to the T5 EVO 8TB, and the write speed reaches more than 400MB/s in the stable phase. It can be seen that the actual transmission speed of Samsung T5 EVO is still more than 5 times that of this mobile mechanical hard disk, which greatly improves the storage efficiency of data.
In addition, Samsung T5 EVO can also be directly connected To Apple iPhone15 series smart phones through the randomly equipped C To C data cable, and can perform file management in the system's built-in "file" APP, and Pro/Pro Max models support the ProRes HDR format video directly recorded to Samsung T5 EVO. The 8TB capacity allows for up to 556 minutes of shooting, making it a useful storage device for vloggers.

4 Comprehensive test high efficiency, energy saving and low heat

In addition to the capacity of up to 8TB and the performance of far more than traditional mechanical hard disks, the Samsung T5 EVO also has a good performance in terms of power consumption and heat control. The comparison test of the POWER-Z tester shows that the POWER consumption of the traditional mechanical mobile hard disk is about 0.8W (that is, voltage x current) at idle (non-hibernation stop). The peak power consumption of high intensity sequential writing is about 3.5W.
The idle power consumption of the T5 EVO 8TB is only about 0.3W, and the high-intensity sequential write power consumption is only about 2.6W, and the performance of the T5 EVO 8TB is three times that of the mechanical mobile hard disk, which can greatly extend the battery life of the laptop.
In terms of heat control, the T5 EVO has built-in Samsung Dynamic Thermal Guard technology to prevent overheating and keep it at the right operating temperature, so that it can maintain peak performance for long periods of continuous use. At the same time, the rubber shell has the characteristics of low thermal conductivity, the surface temperature at 25.9℃ at idle time is 28.4℃, after 40 minutes of high-intensity sequence writing test temperature is only 44.7℃, in line with the requirements of the international safety standard IEC62368-1, to eliminate the risk of low temperature burn.

5 Samsung Magician features full AES256 hardware encryption two-step setup

In addition to greater portability and higher capacity, the SAMSUNG T5 EVO also supports AES256-bit hardware encryption, which is easy to set up and manage with SAMSUNG PORTABLE SSD and SAMSUNG Magician. The Windows and MacOS versions of the SAMSUNG PORTABLE SSD are included, and users can also download Android versions from the address provided by the built-in Notepad file.
Of course, the new Samsung Magician storage device management software is more comprehensive, supporting all Samsung brand storage devices (including solid state drives and mobile solid state drives, etc.) health status check, firmware updates and security erase operations, but also can perform read and write performance benchmarks on the device.
Samsung Magician also includes all the features of Samsung's mobile SSD management software, which means that users can only install this software. In the two-step Security Setting, you can enable password security protection mode and change your name and password at any time. If security mode is turned off, the password already set will be deleted.
After setting the password, the safe mode will be enabled, and the T5 EVO will be connected to the computer again, and the Samsung magician will pop up the password input box, at this time, you can not see the internal data of the T5 EVO, and you can not write the data, and you can enter the correct password after the normal file reading and writing operation.
In addition, in the Driver Details, you can see the Samsung T5 EVO serial number and firmware version and other information, if the serial number below the blue "genuine" two words, it means that the user bought the official genuine.

6 Write at the end

As a mobile SSD for mainstream users, Samsung T5 EVO will not only further carry forward the tradition of lightweight and portable, but also perfectly solve various pain points, such as the 460MB/s read and write speed is almost up to the level of SATA built-in SSD, Type-C interface can be compatible with all platform devices, and 2-meter anti-fall data is more secure. The capacity of up to 8TB is the last "straw" that crushed the "camel" of the mobile mechanical hard disk.
