We all need more digital space these days. Whether it's for videos, games, photos or just about anything else, having more storage space is essential. If you want to expand yours, then going for a dependable portable solid-state drive can help. Well, thanks to some amazing discounts, you can currently get a Samsung T7 portable SSD with 2TB of storage for just $130, which is 52% off. If you want less storage, you can get the 1TB version for just $90, or if you want more, the 4TB version for $270. All of these prices are lower than they were during the Black Friday deals, so you're getting a lot of value for your money.

This SSD offers a solid alternative or additional backup option to cloud storage options that you can always have on-hand. It has two full terabytes of storage and comes with both a USB-C to C and a USB-C to A cable so you can transfer files easily. It reads up to 1,050 megabytes per second and writes up to 1,000 megabytes per second on supported devices.

It's compact enough to throw in your laptop bag and it's built to be shock-resistant, so it can withstand a fall from a height of up to 6 feet. There's even built-in tech to keep the drive from overheating during data transfer. And if you're worried about keeping your data private, it also has 256-bit AES encryption and is password protected.
