Creatives are now producing much higher-quality content, which means that file sizes are increasing too. I just spotted this deal at Amazon on the Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD, now only $149.99 down from $284.99. That's an impressive 47% saving.

The Samsung T7 Shield is one of the best external hard drives that money can buy, and a great choice for all kinds of creative professionals. As a photographer, I shoot RAW format images and these take up a ton of space, not to mention needing backups of backups.
