Samsung’s gigantic 8TB portable SSD just dropped to its best price

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted the 8TB Samsung T5 EVO portable SSD for just $400 right now because that’s, by far, the best discount I’ve ever seen for it. (Before that, its best price was $430, so it’s quite the drop ahead of the holidays.)

We reviewed the Samsung T5 EVO some time ago and gave it a 4-star rating for its small and rugged body plus its decently fast performance. “The T5 EVO is 5Gbps (Gen 1) USB 3.2, meaning that no matter what’s inside, it’s basically capped at 550MB/s.”

Basically, while it may not be rocket-fast, it’s one of the few reliable portable SSDs to come in an enormous 8TB version. That’s an absolute ton of space! If you need a large portable drive to store your photos, videos, and games, you may never need another drive again if you get this one. (That’s over 800,000 regular-sized photos!)

The Samsung T5 EVO uses a USB-C connection and it’s widely compatible with everything from PCs to Macs to gaming consoles and more. While the 8TB’s sale price is especially delicious, the other capacities are also on sale (in case you don’t need this much space):

• Samsung T5 Evo, 2TB, now $137.11 (40% off, was $229.99)
• Samsung T5 Evo, 4TB, now $199.99 (9% off, was $219.99)

Don’t miss out on this chance to get a whopping 8TB of portable SSD storage for $400! In fact, if you hurry up, you can still get this one delivered before Christmas.
