(with tax) getting just a little to close to the 2TB T7 deals in recent history. sub-$200 (after-tax) would be optimal for this drive...

I have yet to see a T7 2TB drive drop below 249 before tax. You still have to pay tax on them, so this is a good deal for an external SSD, but I'd like to know if there is a retailer price matching that does not charge tax for these.

I do feel like prices are still going to continue to go lower.

You do need their store card though and that means you can't stack your usual credit card rewards (like Amazon's 5% cashback card). In CA where sales tax is like 9%, it's still the better option though.

I have a couple of these drives I use for work. When paired with a 3.1 card (or notebook port) to get full speed they are blazing fast. Definitely recommend for space strapped notebooks or people who want to store things on something they can connect/disconnect for safe storage.

Daaaaaaaaamn, I didn't realize it got that high! Last I remember it was 8.25% which was probably quite a bit of time ago. I remember it was easy to calculate a "decent" tip on a food bill was just double the tax.

T5s have mSATA drives inside. Not even M.2 SATA. Few modern devices have mSATA slots.
