As we have mentioned previously, the SSD market has risen in price significantly across 2024, but if you stick with us we will find deals nonetheless, and today is one of those days. Amazon is now offering Samsung’s latest portable SSD with the 2TB T5 EVO down at $139.99 shipped. This one carries a regular price at $230 directly from Samsung where it is currently marked down to $190. The T5 EVO debuted late last year and sold for closer to $190 through the end of 2023 and into 2024 at Amazon. Today’s deal is $6 under our previous mention and the lowest we have seen on Amazon all year. The T5 EVO lineup features a refreshed form-factor from Samsung’s usual approach over the last few years, headlined a new rectangular design and a metal carabiner loop along the top. Head below for more details.
Samsung’s portable SSD lineup remains as one of the most reliable out there, and with the T5 EVO it is focusing on that very thing with a stability over speed approach. The T5 EVO lineup certainly isn’t the fastest out there by any means at 460MB/s, as detailed right here, but it has been entirely reliable with regular use (roughly once a week or so), and that’s what really counts for me – it has performed flawlessly since I had a chance to give it a test in person back in November.
While the newer T5 EVO has, up until now, typically been priced higher than even its faster counterparts from brands like Crucial and others, but the Crucial X9 2TB Portable SSD is still a notable option for folks that have a need for speed. It lands with more than double the transfer rate for just $4 more right now – it is selling for $144 shipped in the 2TB capacity right now on Amazon.
