Samsung T5 EVO

Samsung rates the T5 EVO for sequential read speeds of up to 460 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 1. Actual transfer speed depends on the host port, cable, file sizes, and whether the drive is nearing capacity.

The T5 EVO is sold in capacities up to 8 TB, with smaller options available for users who need a lower purchase cost. The 8 TB version is useful for large media libraries but may be less economical than a smaller drive for ordinary backups.

Yes, a PS5 can use a compatible USB external drive for storing and playing PS4 games, but PS5 games must run from the console's internal storage or an installed M.2 SSD. Format and port requirements still apply, so the drive should be connected directly to a suitable USB port.

Both are portable USB SSDs aimed at everyday storage rather than high-end Thunderbolt workloads. The T5 EVO offers capacities up to 8 TB and a rated 460 MB/s read speed, while the exact X9 capacity, enclosure, and price depend on the chosen model.
