Overview
- Amazon is offering the 8TB T5 EVO for $399.99 after clipping an on-page coupon, a price Macworld notes as the lowest it has tracked.
- The deal is $150 below recent Amazon pricing around $550 and undercuts Samsung’s own $600 listing for the same drive.
- Phandroid’s Friday update shows the drive near $500, indicating the promotion and retail pricing are subject to change.
- The portable SSD uses USB-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1 with up to 460MB/s transfers, and it works across Macs, Windows PCs, phones, tablets and consoles, including for Time Machine backups.
- PCWorld previously gave the T5 EVO a 4-star review for its speed, compact and rugged design, and it offers a far cheaper path to 8TB than Apple’s internal upgrade estimated around $2,400.
