Samsung’s 500GB T5 Portable SSD Down To $90 Right Now [Original Price: $130]

Huge amounts of storage like those afforded by some of the massive 4TB portable spinning discs are great, but sometimes, speed is more important than space. If that’s the case, you don’t need to look much further than Samsung’s T5 line of portable SSDs. And it just so happens we have a deal to share on one right now.

The drive that is currently available as part of this offer is the 500GB Samsung T5 Portable SSD, and it’s a great drive. It looks the part, thanks to its gorgeous blue chassis. It’s super fast, too, with a transfer speed of up to 540MB/s. That speed is fully usable thanks to the USB 3.1 Gen2 transfer rates you can expect via the included cable, and it is, of course, fully backwards-compatible with slower connections, too.

Buy: Samsung T5 Portable SSD – 500GB – USB 3.1 External SSD: $90.48 | Original price $130

  • Superfast Read-Write speeds of up to 540 MB/s
  • Top to bottom metal design that fits in the palm of your hand
  • Optional password protection and AES 256-bit hardware encryption
  • Includes USB Type C to C and USB Type C to A cables

Amazingly, this whole thing is just 10.5mm thick and weighs 51 grams, making it absolutely perfect for taking with you whether you’re working or enjoying a vacation. Photographers and videographers alike can take advantage of lighting-quick editing and manipulation of their work thanks to this sort of drive, and all without dealing with the usually small drives in their notebooks.

We’ve been shouting about the awesome Samsung T5 drives for months now, and we use them ourselves. If you’re in the market for fast, reliable, and currently cheap SSD storage then this drive is the only place to look right now, especially at this price.
