We’re not all secret agents with classified files, but we still have important stuff we can’t afford to lose. If you’ve been meaning to back up your files or upgrade your storage, now’s a good time to do it. World Backup Day falls on March 31, and Samsung is marking the occasion with limited-time deals on some of its best storage solutions. These deals also match the current prices from Amazon’s Big Spring Sale -- happening right now.
Some of the biggest markdowns include Samsung’s latest portable SSD, T9, which is known for its blazing-fast read-write speeds up to 2,000MB per second and up to 4TB of storage. Right now, the 2TB version is $180 (save $80), and the 4TB model is $280 (save $190).
If you deal with heavy workloads on a regular basis, the Samsung 990 Pro SSD is worth checking out. You’ll get read-write speeds up to 7,450-6,900 MB per second, and the 4TB version is $280 (save $120). There’s also the 990 Pro with Heatsink, which keeps things cool and stable, now $300 (save $110).
