How I rated this deal 

While not the steepest deal I've ever seen on a high-capacity portable SSD (the Samsung Evo T5 was almost 50% off around Christmas 2024), it's still an incredible deal on a quality storage solution for gaming, content creation, and complex office projects. With read and write speeds up to 2100 MB/s, you'll be able to transfer and backup large files quickly. That's why I gave it a 3/5 Editor's deal rating.
