Oh lawd, I believed the offers have been lastly over, however these sneaky people at Samsung have simply gone and began one other better-than-Black-Friday deal on their exterior Samsung T5 SSD. From now till December 25th within the UK, you’ll be able to declare £90 cashback on the 2TB mannequin of the T5, taking its standard worth of £270 down to only £180 – which is a heck of much more tempting than its Black Friday deal price of £245. There’s additionally £40 cashback available on the 1TB mannequin as nicely, taking this usually £145 SSD down to a different Black-Friday-beating worth of £105.
Alas, Samsung’s ‘Blue Cashback‘ provide doesn’t apply to another SSDs, however the exterior T5 is by far the most effective and quickest exterior SSD I’ve ever examined, and has been sitting atop my best gaming SSD rankings for completely yonks. It’s an awesome alternative for individuals who commonly transfer between totally different PCs or laptops, and the 2TB mannequin specifically has completely buckets of house for all of your favorite games, too.
Admittedly, the cashback course of is all a bit long-winded. First, it’s important to purchase your Samsung T5 from a qualifying retailer. You can see Samsung’s terms and conditions for a full listing, nevertheless it successfully boils all the way down to the standard suspects of Amazon, Currys, Argos, John Lewis, Littlewoods and Very for the T5, as a lot of the different retailers are solely related for these shopping for the Samsung telephones / tablets / wearables which are a part of the provide as nicely.
However, with a view to profit from your cashback provide, Amazon remains to be your greatest wager normally, as Currys’ least expensive worth for the 1TB / 2TB T5 are at present £180 and £400 respectively. Argos solely do the 1TB T5 for £170, as does Littlewoods for an much more costly £215. Very, however, are available in at £165 for the 1TB rose gold mannequin, however cost a ridiculous £400 for the black 1TB mannequin.
The solely different retailer price contemplating is John Lewis, who at present have the black 1TB T5 for simply £120. Unfortunately, it’s at present out of inventory on-line, so you’ll be able to’t at present order one at that worth, and there’s no telling whether or not it should return up in worth (publish Cyber Monday / week offers and so forth) as soon as it’s again in inventory.
For the 2TB mannequin, however, it’s just about solely Amazon that sells it at a good worth, as nobody of their proper thoughts must be paying £400 for it over at Currys. You may also purchase direct from Samsung, in fact, however their costs are additionally dearer than what’s at present obtainable on Amazon.
Still, supplied you a) need one and b) don’t object to purchasing it from Amazon, you’ll then want to say your cashback by visiting Samsung’s Blue Cashback web page inside 30 days of buy. You’ll then get an e mail to verify Samsung have acquired your declare, and one other after they’ve validated it. Finally, the cashback ought to seem in your most popular checking account inside one other 30 days.
It’s a long-winded course of, and possibly a bit an excessive amount of effort for somebody with as a lot offers fatigue as I’ve proper now, however £180 for a 2TB T5 and £105 for a 1TB T5 are nonetheless fairly good costs if you happen to’ve acquired the endurance for it. As I discussed up the highest, each of these costs are less expensive than what both drive price over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so there’s an additional layer of smugness to take pleasure in as nicely if you happen to managed to chorus from final week’s offers fest.
