Samsung has revealed its latest portable solid-state drive (SSD), the T5 Evo, boasting an impressive storage capacity of up to 8 terabytes. This marks a pinnacle in the realm of portable SSDs, offering users the maximum available storage on the market.

According to Samsung, the 8TB capacity of the T5 Evo is sufficient for storing over 2 million photos or 3500 videos, each with a size of 2 gigabytes. The device is remarkably compact, measuring 95 x 40 x 17 mm and weighing a mere 102 grams. This makes it an ideal companion for individuals on the go, requiring a reliable means of data storage.

Connecting to PCs or other devices is facilitated through the USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 interface.
