Final Thoughts
Generally, when given a storage product that provides a large capacity but has below-average performance, it’s typically considered a budget option. Even though having 8TB of storage still demands a higher price in the NVMe storage market, the T5 EVO’s $649.99 list price makes it a tough sell for its 5 Gbps performance. While the T5 EVO does come with 256-bit hardware encryption and a compact, durable enclosure, those looking for high capacity could consider a large-capacity SATA drive and a low-cost USB enclosure if they are okay with slower speeds.
