Samsung’s highly anticipated Black Friday deals have officially kicked off on their US website. The corporation is touting a vast array of products, encompassing everything from cutting-edge smartphones to everyday appliances like washing machines; however, it was the innovative storage solutions from Samsung that truly captured our attention.
Starting with microSD cards, the EVO Choice offers unparalleled value, with a 1TB option priced at just $80. Rated as A2, these devices allow you to install and run applications without any issues. With transfer speeds reaching up to 160MB/s, these drives are capable of rapid data transfer.
The Samsung Professional Plus microSD card ships with a convenient SD adapter, allowing seamless compatibility with laptops featuring SD readers instead of microSD slots. With read speeds of up to 180MB/s and write speeds of up to 130MB/s, the Professional Plus collection excels in performance.
The Samsung Professional Plus also features full-size SD cards, which operate at the same speed, with read rates up to 180MB/s and write speeds of up to 130MB/s. For individuals considering a 512GB memory card, purchasing the standard size rather than the microSD variant yields cost savings. In most cases, opting for a microSD card is the better choice – just keep in mind that it does come with an SD adapter.

Retailers can also utilize portable solid-state drives, such as the Samsung T5 EVO, which is available in capacities ranging from 2TB to 8TB, with the larger sizes offering discounts. This device connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1, which supports transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, enabling sequential read and write speeds of up to 460 MB/s. Although it’s incredibly lightweight at just 102g, this device is surprisingly resilient and can withstand drops of up to 6ft in height.
A more expensive yet expedient option exists in the Samsung T9 portable SSD. With a high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 connection capable of transmitting data at 20 gigabits per second, this device enables sequential read speeds of up to an impressive 2,000 megabytes per second. While slightly larger at 122 grams, this model isn’t significantly different from the T5.
If your PC features an NVMe slot, you’ll have the opportunity to enhance its internal storage capabilities. The Samsung 990 EVO boasts a PCIe 4 x4 or 5.0 x2 interface, enabling sequential read and write speeds of up to 5,000MB/s and 4,200MB/s respectively. It delivers up to 800K/700K random input/output operations per second (IOPS), with a rating of 1,200 terabytes complete bytes written (TBW) for total write capacity.
The Samsung 990 Pro is significantly faster, boasting up to 7,450MB/s in sequential read speed and up to 6,900MB/s in sequential write speed. This device features 4GB of LPDDR4 DRAM, enabling it to deliver impressive random access performance of up to 1,600K and 1,550K IOPS respectively. This SSD is engineered for durability, boasting an impressive 2,400TB TBW capacity to withstand heavy use. The shape similarity lies in its M.2 2280 form factor and PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, characteristic of this specific SSD model.
