Our favorite ultra-fast 4TB Samsung T9 portable SSD is 45% off today

It’s surprising how quickly storage drives can fill up. As soon as you think you have enough, you blink your eyes and suddenly wondering what you can delete to free up space. Honestly, you can never have too many storage drives — even when they’re enormous.

That’s why we’re so happy to see this 4TB Samsung T9 portable SSD on sale for $300 at Amazon, a huge 45% discount off its $550 MSRP.

There are so many reasons to want one of these. Our reviewing expert Jon Jacobi gave the Samsung T9 portable SSD a near-perfect score and our Editors’ Choice award, finding that it doesn’t just offer great performance but is also rugged enough to keep your data truly safe:

“The latest in a series of excellent portable SSDs that started around eight years ago with the T1, Samsung’s T9 is the first to bring SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps performance to the table. If you’re blessed with [a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 port], it will nearly double the sustained throughput of the older T7.”

One of the main complaints he had was that it was pricey, but now that it’s on sale for nearly half off, it’s practically flawless.

The Samsung T9 works with any device, from laptops and desktops to gaming consoles and cameras. In fact, you can even use this one hooked up to a smartphone and cleanly record 4K video at 60 FPS.

(If you don’t need such a huge drive, the T9 also comes in 1TB for $135 [23% off] and 2TB for $229 [24% off]. But the 4TB variant is the best value!)
