Wait, back up! Samsung's popular portable SSDs drop further than their Prime Day low price

It's always handy to have an external backup device to save your data onto, just in case anything goes wrong with online cloud storage. And while there are plenty of portable hard drives, solid-state storage (or SSDs) are more reliable. 

If you want the best, Samsung's portable SSDs are highly regarded – many of the company's models feature in our list of best portable SSDs for good reason. 

We had seen these powerful, portable external storage devices drop to low prices during Prime Day, starting from as little as AU$149 for the 1TB T7. But now, thanks to a deal from international Amazon stores, they can now be picked up for even less.

Samsung T7 1TB (grey) |AU$279AU$133.65

During Prime Day the T7 was AU$149 from Amazon Australia (and is currently AU$165). But it's now possible to score it from the US Amazon store AU$17.76 cheaper. If you’re looking to add a serious speed boost to your backup gadget, you could do a hell of a lot worse than the Samsung T7 1TB SSD, found here with a generous 52% discount from RRP. Compatible with PC, Mac, Android devices, gaming consoles and more, there’s a lot of value in this small package. 

Samsung T7 SSD (2TB) | AU$479AU$235.61

With a huge 51% discount, bringing it down to cheaper than the original cost of the 1TB model, this deal on the 2TB T7 SSD would be our overall pick. Exhibiting all the same security features and portability of the 1TB model, but with double the storage, it's a far more attractive future-proof option. 

Do note this model is sold via Amazon Germany, so it may take a little longer to arrive, but we think the price here is worth it. 

Samsung T7 Touch SSD (1TB) | AU$173.07AU$161.63

Adding a greater level of security, the fingerprint locked Samsung T7 Touch 1TB also has a deeper discount from Amazon Germany, and is now AU$161.63. This model again, exhibits all the same features as the 'regular' T7 portable SSD, but adds fingerprint recognition to ensure nobody other than you can access stored files. 

Samsung T7 Shield (2TB) | AU$499AU$253

Samsung T7 Shield (2TB) | AU$499 AU$253 (save AU$246)

The T7 Shield portable SSD is currently maintaining the same discount we saw during Prime Day. This model takes everything that's great about the models above (it misses out on fingerprint recognition), but adds IP65 protection against water and dust, making it an ideal companion for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors – photographers and content creators, for example. For added piece of mind, this is a fantastic deal that won't last long.
