A 2TB Samsung internal SSD is the standout storage bargain in Mashable’s latest weekly roundup, with Amazon listing the Samsung 870 EVO 2TB Internal SSD at $399.99, a $640 drop from its listed $1,039.99 price.

The deals arrive as Mashable reports that memory pricing remains under pressure, with its coverage pointing to a shortage affecting people looking to expand storage, save footage, or back up files. Mashable also warns shoppers to watch for fake SSDs and buy from sellers they trust.

The current picks cover three uses: an internal computer upgrade, a portable USB-C drive, and a compact SSD-style flash drive. Prices and savings are the ones listed by Mashable, and availability can change quickly with deal pricing.

Top SSD deals listed this week

Samsung takes the biggest cut

Mashable named the Samsung 870 EVO 2TB Internal SSD its best overall SSD deal. The listed discount puts it at 62% off, based on the $1,039.99 standard price shown in the deal card.

The pitch is straightforward: for a computer running low on storage, the 2TB internal drive offers a sizable upgrade while memory prices remain unsettled, according to Mashable’s roundup.

SanDisk portable drive gets a USB-C spotlight

For portable storage, Mashable selected the SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD, listed at $224.99 directly from SanDisk. The deal card shows a previous price of $282.99 and a $58 saving.

Mashable says the drive works over USB-C with iPhones, Android devices, laptops, and tablets. SanDisk lists write speeds of up to 1000MB per second, according to the roundup.

The same listing says the drive has a silicone shell designed to handle drops of nearly 10 feet. It is also described as water and dust resistant with an IP65 rating.

A tiny 1TB option is nearly $100 off

The third deal is the SanDisk 1TB Extreme Fit USB-C Flash Drive, which Mashable picked as the best SSD flash drive deal. Amazon lists it at $219, with Mashable showing a $93.99 saving.

For shoppers who need more room without carrying a larger portable drive, that compact USB-C option is the cheapest of the three featured deals by listed price. Mashable’s warning still applies: check the seller before buying, especially as counterfeit SSD listings become more common.
