A huge SSD can make many elements of your computing life a whole lot easier, and today you can grab a massive—and ultra-fast—1TB Samsung T5 portable SSD that you can carry around with you for just $178 on Amazon. That’s down from a list price of $250 and the lowest we’ve ever seen it. (And we’ve been keeping a close eye on this one.)
The Samsung T5 packs a ton of space into a compact, shock-resistant body that weighs less than two ounces. You connect the drive to your gear via a USB-C port, while compatibility with Windows, Macs, and Android devices means it’ll work with pretty much everything except for iOS devices. In addition, it features speedy transfer speeds up to 540 MB/s.
In our review, we called the Samsung T5 “the fastest single-drive USB storage we’ve tested” and gave it a stellar 4.5 stars out of 5, noting its strong performance and small, light design as reasons to buy.
