Snag Some Extra Storage for Less With Deals on Samsung SSDs, SD Cards and More
Save up to 62% on everything you need to backup your data, upgrade your computer’s storage and more.

Between all your music, photos, movies, shows, work documents, games and everything else, the storage on your computer, phone or tablet can fill up pretty quickly. Which is why it’s always a good idea to have some extra storage on hand. And whether you’re looking for a portable storage drive, a new internal solid-state drive or just want to pick up some spare SD cards, now’s the time to buy, with Amazon offering up to 62% off select Samsung storage gear. There’s no set expiration on these deals, but with some items discounted by more than $150, there’s a good chance they won’t last for long.
Whether you need to backup your entire computer, or just want another microSD card for your Nintendo Switch, you’ll find what you’re looking for for less at this sale. The Samsung T7 is a portable SSD that boasts impressive read speeds of up to 1,050Mbps and a solid aluminum frame that protects it against falls of up to 6 feet. Right now you can pick up the 2TB model on sale for $150, which saves you $120 compared to the usual price.
Or, if you’re looking to upgrade your computer’s internal storage, you can snag this 870 Evo Sata III internal SSD with a substantial 4TB of storage for $300, which is $68 off. Just be sure to use the Confirmed Fit search at the top of the product page to make sure it’s compatible with your device.
And if you’re a photographer, you can never have enough SD cards on hand. Samsung’s Pro Plus cards are protected against water, extreme temperatures, X-rays, magnets and more, and they come with a USB card reader that makes it easy to upload your photos to your computer. You can snag a 128GB card for just $17, $19 off, or the 256GB card for just $24, saving you $39.

Clue words to unlock in-game hints
Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints, but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:
- BEDS, MINE, TAKE, TAKES, TAKER, STAKE, LATS, EARL, PLUG, PLUGS, ROUT, MIKE, DATE
Answers for today’s Strands puzzle
These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you’ve got all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:
- MASK, EARPLUGS, MELATONIN, MEDITATION, MOUTHGUARD
Today’s Strands spangram
Today’s Strands spangram is BEDTIME. To find it, start with the B that’s five letters down on the farthest row to the left and wind across.
