All three colors at the same price. Not the lowest we've seen, but lower than typical $149.99 sale price.

looks like Amazon matched per usual: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09VLJ7...UTF8&psc=1

Is this better than the regular T7? In my mind yes because it has much better sustained write speeds compared to regular T7 or the T7 Touch.

Picked up one of these 2tb for $80 out the door at a local liquidator and was actually shocked at how fast the drive was for general backup...ie: my intended purpose. I think I backed up about half a terabyte of files in probably around 30 minutes.

Sometimes it's easy to get wrapped up in the slickdeals commentary of everyone poo-pooing a drive because it's not on par with pro gen4/5 NVME doing 7,000+mb/s in an external enclosure.

I'm glad I took the plunge, this drive does exactly what I want and is totally fast enough for 95%+ of people. Hopefully this helps someone else out that was in the same skeptical position I was in.

Rugged looks, but the USB port is the major weak point for these devices. The worst design I saw was a Toshiba drive with a USB port soldered directly to the HDD. I couldn't even plug it into SATA to recover the files. This Samsung SSD is no different: https://youtu.be/_2KJADHXAL4

You're better off buying an M.2 with enclosure and plugging a USB into that. That way, when your enclosure breaks, you can still recover the contents from a PC or another enclosure. SSDs have low failure rates, it's the human-factor that causes problems more than anything.

I ordered one during the Amazon pricing errors last year where it was $120 or so. It's a great drive, and I use it for my PS4 games on my PS5. You can store PS5 games on it, but you'll have to move them to the internal NVMe or the internal expansion NVMe if you want to play them.

Thumbs up and Repped for a good and informative post! Didn't realize this drive has outstanding sustained write speeds. Not important to some, but it's important to me, i.e. I'm not a gamer and I have some huge files.

Thanks OP! The 2TB has been on my wish-list since November. Bought it from Samsung's website for $133 after my Education discount.
