Source: samsung.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by newegg.com. Samsung US official product page (model MU-PH2T0S/AM, 2TB, Black) states verbatim: "2TB Portable SSD T5 EVO USB 3.2 Gen 1 (Black) 460MB/s Read | 460MB/s Write", with storage tiers priced 2TB $289.99, 4TB $579.99, 8TB $1,119.99. Newegg listings corroborate the exact model (MU-PH2T0S/AM and sibling MU-PH4T0S/AM) as a USB 3.2 Gen 1 external SSD with "Max Sequential Read: Up to 460 MBps" and "Max Sequential Write: Up to 460 MBps", 2TB priced $259.75-$299.99. Verified on re-fetch: capacity_gb (2TB), read_mbps (460), write_mbps (460), interface (USB 3.2 Gen 1), and priceUsd ($289.99 for the exact 2TB model) are all explicitly supported. The prior "(5 Gbps)" appended to the interface string was NOT present verbatim on either fetched page, so it was trimmed to the supported "USB 3.2 Gen 1". Weight, hardware encryption, IP rating, and release date were not stated verbatim on either fetched page (Samsung's spec table is JS-rendered and did not load), so they remain null rather than guessed.
