Save 20% on the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD at an Amazon all-time low of $108, more

$135/$108

Amazon offers the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive for $107.99 shipped. You’ll also find it at Newegg, as well as for $2 more directly from Samsung. While it originally fetched $150, we’ve more recently seen it sell for $135. Today’s price drop shaves 20% off the going rate and matches our previous mention for the all-time low. Samsung’s SSD boasts up 550MBps sequential transfer speeds and utilizes V-NAND Flash Memory to offer 1TB of storage in a more affordable price point. Even though it is a more budget-conscious SSD, it features the same build quality as Samsung’s higher-end models. Rated 4.4/5 stars from over 105 customers.

Update 4/29 @ 5:41 PM: ADATA via Rakuten is offering its 480GB SU650 2.5-inch Internal Solid State Drive for $42.49 shipped when the code SAVE15 has been used at checkout. Normally, 480GB SSDs on Amazon are around $60 and this is among the best pricing we’ve tracked historically. If you’ve yet to upgrade to a solid state drive, do yourself a favor and enjoy faster boot times and program responsiveness. Rated 3.9/5 stars.

We also spotted the Samsung X5 500GB Thunderbolt 3 External SSD for $219.99 shipped at Amazon. Matched at Samsung and Newegg. That’s $28-$30 off the typical rate and beats the lowest price we have tracked by $9. Armed with Thunderbolt 3, this external SSD is ready to transfer data at speeds of up to 2,800MB/s. Thanks to its shock-resistant frame, this drive can withstand 2 meter drops. Rated 4.3/5 stars.

Alternatively, Kingston’s $30 240GB A400 SSD is a more affordable option for giving your computer a boost. It touts around 450MBps transfer speeds, but if the 100MBps difference between the Samsung model isn’t a huge deal, then the cash savings will surely be a solid tradeoff. 

When we first covered Samsung’s newer SSD, we weren’t initially sold on its budget-friendly promise. But at over 25% off the original price tag, the drive is a compelling option for those in need of large amounts of SSD storage.
