It\u2019s been forever since we\u2019ve seen a proper deal on portable storage, but Prime Day seems to be a good time for one. Samsung\u2019s T9 1TB portable SSD is down to $179.99<\/a>, a massive drop from its typical $250 street price during the current global storage shortage. I know it\u2019s hard to stomach spending this much on a 1TB drive, but given the circumstances, it technically qualifies as a deal if you\u2019re in dire need of one.<\/p>\n

That pill is a little easier to swallow knowing that the Samsung T9 is easily one of our favorite portable SSDs, as we gave it a glowing 4.5-star rating when we reviewed it<\/a>. In our test, we found that it delivers on speed and performance, plus the textured surface provides good grip.<\/p>\n

The Samsung T9 is able to put out sustained read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB\/s. That\u2019s fast enough to load projects in a blink, edit 4K footage, and move massive files\u2014it\u2019s the ideal drive for someone who\u2019s constantly dealing with large data. And with its USB-C connection, it\u2019s widely compatible with almost all modern devices, including laptops, PCs, gaming consoles, phones, and some digital cameras.<\/p>\n

This portable SSD truly is portable, too, measuring just 3.46 inches long by 2.36 inches wide and 0.55 inches thick, and weighing a mere 0.27 pounds. Slip it into your pocket and forget it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

Again, the drive is fantastic, but the price is rough even with this discount. But if you\u2019re in desperate need of a high-performance portable SSD, the T9 hasn\u2019t been this cheap in a while. You\u2019ll be waiting a long, long time before it dips back down below $100 like it used to do\u2014if it ever does again. The bottom line? Right now, $179.99 for the 1TB version of Samsung\u2019s T9 is as good as a win.
