We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Samsung’s 2TB T7 Shield portable SSD in black down to $148.98 shipped. This portable drive with a $285 list price has fetched as much as $170 in recent months. Today’s 48% discount on its sticker price, however, drops it further down to one of the lowest prices we have tracked for this model. We did see this one go for less in the past, but this particular model hasn’t fetched anything less than our previous mention of $137 since the industry-wide price hike hit SSDs in 2024. You’ll find the same SSD in black, beige, and blue going for $149.99 shipped right now directly at Samsung. Head below for more details.
