It's World Backup Day, and what better way to celebrate than by upgrading your various storage options on the cheap! If you aren't too fussy about going back one generation of Samsung internal SSDs, then you can pick up the 860 EVO 1TB at 45% off today on Amazon; normally costing $199.99 you can pick it up for just $109.99, a savings of $90. The drive boasts sequential read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 520 MB/s.
The current-gen Samsung SSD 870 EVO 2TB is also being discounted at a slightly lesser 16% for $209.99, which is $40 off its usual $249.99 price on Amazon. The drive boasts slightly better sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s. Other sizes are also available at less or no discount, but that's unsurprising given that this drive first became available only two months ago.
If you're after an NVMe drive upgrade, you can pick up the 500GB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD at 25% off today for $74.99, that's $25 off its usual $99.99 price. The 1TB version also has a slightly lesser discount of 19% at $144.99, which is a savings of $35 on the usual $179.99 list price.
The 970 EVO is backed by a 5-year limited warranty and rated for 150 TBW (TeraBytes Written) per 250GB of capacity, below you can view a chart of cache speeds provided by Samsung:
If it's portable storage you're after, then Samsung also has you covered with its latest-gen T7 Touch that has fingerprint and password security with the included app. This Type-C USB drive boasts sequential read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s, making it faster than some internal drives.
Right now, and only for today you can pick up the 2TB variant at 24% off for $279.99, which is $90 off its normal $369.99 price. It is only available in Black at that price, the Silver color is only being discounted $20 off its normal $369.99 price.
The non Touch Samsung T7 is also getting discounted at the lower rate of 15% for the exact same $279.99 price (list price $329.99) which is a savings of $50 for the 2TB option, other colors are slightly more expensive at only 11% off for Blue and 10% off it you want Red.
And finally, the older T5 is also getting a nice discount of 25% for the 2TB version, which can now be purchased for just $210.45, that's a savings of $69.54 of its normal $279.99 list price. You should be aware that although this is great value for money at just $0.105/GB, it's half the speed of the T7 series, with read/write speeds of 540MB/s.
