The 4TB Samsung T9 Portable SSD is nearly half

There’s no such thing as too much local storage. Whether for backups or extra space for all your stuff, an external SSD is always useful to have on hand. Samsung’s portable SSDs are a favorite for many, and a recent model with enough storage for most people is on sale for almost half price in an early Black Friday deal.

The price of the 4TB T9 Portable SSD has dropped to $300. That’s a $250 discount and the price of an external storage device has dropped to a record low with this deal.

According to Samsung, the T9 is about twice as fast as the T7 (our current pick for the best external SSD for PS5). The company claims it can transfer 4GB of video in about two seconds, or 90 minutes of 4K video (21GB) in 12 seconds. The two-lane USB interface offers data transfer rates of up to 20 Gbps, while the SSD has sequential read and write speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s.

This means it won’t take long to transfer games and other files to and from the PS5’s internal storage when needed (the console can run PS4 games from an external drive, but not PS5 titles). It would also be a useful option for moving your files between different computers. Alternatively, you could use it to store your 4K movie collection.

While the use of generative AI in games seems almost inevitable, as the medium has always toyed with new ways to make enemies and NPCs smarter and more realistic, watching several NVIDIA ACE demos back to back really gave me stomach pain.

This wasn’t just slightly smarter enemy AI – ACE can create entire conversations out of thin air, simulate voices and try to give NPCs a sense of personality. It’s also doing this locally on your PC, powered by NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs. But while this might all sound great on paper, I hated nearly every second of watching the AI ​​NPCs in action.
