Samsung’s T7 1TB portable SSD is now $190 at Amazon, down from its currently absurd street price of $275. Now, I know this is far from the all-time lowest we’ve seen for this 1TB model, but this is the first time its price has dropped since it skyrocketed with the global storage shortage. Given the circumstances, this is the first real deal we’ve seen on a portable SSD—jump on it if you really need one.
The T7 is compact, fast, and widely compatible. With 1,050 MB/s speeds, you’ll be able to easily move large files around. A massive 4K movie can be transferred in under a minute, so you won’t even notice how quickly you can transfer a photo or document. That kind of speed is crucial for anyone who shuffles large files and projects every day, and that’s the reason why you’d pay up this much for an SSD.
This portable SSD comes with an aluminum body and is small enough to drop in a bag or pocket, yet solid enough that you don’t have to be gentle with it. Broad device compatibility means it works with Windows, Mac, as well as most phones and tablets. You can even record video directly to it from supported devices, which is handy if you shoot a lot and want to skip the extra transfer step afterwards.
But even if it’s a “deal” in the current climate, a price tag of $190 is still a hard pill to swallow. If you’re absolutely desperate for a high-speed portable drive, the Samsung T7 is a top-end drive with ample capacity and a solid score for $85 off if you can swing it.
