Amazon is currently offering the Samsung 500GB T5 Portable USB-C Solid State Drive for $89.99 shipped. Also matched as part of Best Buy’s Deals of the Day. Typically fetching $110, like you’ll find at B&H, today’s offer saves you $20 and comes within $3 of the best we’ve seen so far this year. Samsung’s portable SSD is based on V-NAND storage, which offers 540MB/s transfer speed thanks to the USB-C connectivity. The drive’s aluminum enclosure is shock-resistant and won’t hog too much desk space thanks to its compact design. Rated 4.7/5 stars from over 6,500 customers and you can learn more in our hands-on review.
Update 4/28 @ 1:48 PM: Amazon is offering the Samsung FIT Plus 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive for $39.99 shipped. Also at Newegg. Normally over $60 at Best Buy, this is one of the best prices that we’ve tracked all-time. Rated 4.6/5 stars.
Save some cash and grab WD’s 2TB My Passport Ultra instead. This alternative packs four times the storage as the lead deal, but ditches the SSD for a hard drive. It’ll only run you $80 at Amazon right now, and still comes equipped with USB-C connectivity that’ll earn you out of the box MacBook compatibility.
Those who want to expand their system’s built-in storage will want to take a look at Kingston’s latest release. The brand has just unveiled its most recent NVME SSDs, which pack up tp 3.5GB/s and are priced from $74.
