SAVE OVER $100: As of April 23, Samsung’s T5 EVO 4TB Portable SSD is on sale for $199.99 at Samsung. That’s $158.99 off the regular $358.98 price, a 44% discount, and it comes with a free Sonic the Hedgehog–branded 256GB microSD card worth $33.99.
I want storage that doesn’t stress me out. The kind that can handle ridiculous video files, survive a fall off the desk, and still fit in my jacket pocket. Samsung’s T5 EVO 4TB Portable SSD checks all those boxes. Right now it’s $199.99 at Samsung, which is a $158.99 drop from the regular price. You also get a Sonic the Hedgehog–branded 256GB microSD card thrown in, which is surprisingly useful and just a little bit charming.
This drive is made for large file transfers. It runs on USB 3.2 Gen 1 and uses Samsung’s Intelligent TurboWrite tech to keep things moving at a pace that doesn’t test your patience. If you’ve ever transferred a few gigs of footage and gone to make coffee out of sheer boredom, this is your upgrade.
The T5 EVO is also built to handle abuse. It’s rated for drops up to six feet and feels sturdy enough to take a few knocks in a backpack or carry-on. I don’t baby my gear, and I don’t expect my storage to need bubble wrap.
