Even operating at those crazy fast speeds, the Samsung T9 portable SSD is able to stay cool. It has a dynamic thermal guard that is able to control the heat and keep the drive at an ideal temperature, even when put under heavy use.
For the videographers out there, the Samsung T9 SSD will let you record in high resolutions in 4K at 60 fps. You can even record directly onto the drive from a camera or smartphone. The drive is compatible with the iPhone 15 Pro at its full 4K and 60 fps.
Any portable drive worth its salt needs to be able to withstand the elements as well as being bumped around a bit. The Samsung T9 external SSD is drop resistant up to three meters, and it has a five year warranty if anything happens to it.
If you travel with it a lot, you may find yourself wanting to enable the supported password protection. This way if you ever accidently leave it somewhere like a local coffee shop, you sensitive files will not be at risk.
For a limited time, you can pick up the Samsung T9 SSD for up to 43% off. The 2TB version has been cut down to just $170 while the 4TB version is now down to just $320.

Peace of mind in your kid's shoe: This AirTag holder can ease your back-to-school worries
Find out why this clever AirTag accessory deserves a spot at the top of your school shopping list. We are sending our four-year-old off to school for the first time and are admittedly very nervous about it. I know that I'm not the only parent out there feeling similar anxiety around back-to-school season, but I made one Amazon purchase that is giving both my husband and I a little bit more peace of mind. We purchased an Apple AirTag and a hidden holder shoe insole that fits neatly inside my son's shoes. AirTags have been a common device for parents to keep an eye on their child for a few years now, but kids can lose watches, the tracker can come detached from clothes and your little one can even be separated from their backpack, rendering the device fairly useless. The odds of my son losing his shoes in an emergency are lower, so that's where our comfort comes from. Here's how to shop the hidden AirTag holder insole before you send your kiddos off to school this year. Give yourself peace of mind sending your kids back to school with an Airtag in their insoles Pro-tip: Prime members can save 10% when they apply the on-page coupon! AirTags are a great option for anything you frequently misplace, or just need that extra peace of mind with a tracking-capable device. Here are some more accessories that might be of use: Save 20% on a 4-pack of AirTags

Is Your Android Phone Slowing Down? Refresh It and Boost Its Speed With These Tips
Phones aren't made to last forever. If you've noticed that your Android phone has slowed down demonstrably, don't stress quite yet. While it might not be the shiny new device it once was, there are a variety of ways to boost its performance and put off buying a new one for a bit longer. By tweaking a few small things, you can extend your phone's life and keep it running without a hitch for longer. Not so fun fact: Your phone can be dirtier than a toilet seat, so do yourself a favor and get into a consistent cleaning routine. With that out of the way, the most substantial phone tweaks will happen in app and system settings. To get it feeling like new again, check out these tips for decluttering and reorganizing your Android phone. For more, check out our Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Plus reviews. Delete all of your forgotten apps Take a few minutes to go through your home screen or app drawer and delete any and all apps you no longer use. Not only do those apps take up precious storage, but they potentially have access to the personal information or permissions you approved when the app was first launched. How you go about deleting an app can vary based on who makes your device, but I covered all the bases in this post. Give it a read if you don't see an uninstall option after long-pressing on the app's icon. You can also uninstall apps using the Play Store. Jason Cipriani/CNET Eliminate old files to free up storage After removing any old apps, free up more storage by going through the files saved on your Android phone. It's far too easy to forget about all of the files you've randomly downloaded -- like the takeout menu of the new place down the road or a GIF a friend sent. And those files add up. The quickest and easiest way to manage your phone's storage is to use the Files app that comes preinstalled. Actually, some phones use a variation of that same app. On Samsung, for example, it's called My Files. On the Pixel lineup, it's just Files. On the OnePlus 10 Pro, it's File Manager -- you get the point. I recommend opening the app drawer on your phone and reaching for "files." Odds are that will reveal whatever your phone-maker calls the app. Start with checking the Downloads folder, where you can either delete the files you no longer want or move them somewhere like Google Drive. Most file apps will also reveal any large files that are saved on your device. For instance, the OnePlus 10 Pro's File Manager app has a dedicated section in the app for files that are taking up a lot of space. Left: Files app on a Pixel 3. Right: My Files on a Galaxy S10 Plus. Screenshots by Jason Cipriani/CNET Tweak home screen settings for a new look One of the best parts of Android is how much you can customize the entire look of your phone. From installing app icon packs to completely replacing the launcher your phone uses, there are plenty of options to personalize your phone. While you can definitely jump into tweaking launchers and installing app icons, start by digging into the home screen settings your phone already provides. I do this once in a while and it's surprising how subtle tweaks to aspects like app layout can make it feel like an entirely new phone. Long-press on a blank area of your home screen, then select Home settings (or some variation of that). That will open the options for your home screen, where you can customize various settings. Settings like the size of the app grid. It may seem like a small change to go from a grid of 4x5 apps to 5x5, but that extra column can make a big difference (the same can be said about shrinking the grid). This is also where you'll find settings for things like swiping down on the home screen to view notifications instead of having to swipe from the top of the screen. Go through the respective settings your phone has and experiment with your home screen setup. Your options for designing your home screen are endless. Lexy Savvides/CNET Optimize your device settings Speaking of settings, now is a good time to go through and change any settings that have been annoying you. I have a roundup of settings you'll want to change and customize on any Android phone to get the most out of it. For example, turning on dark mode not only makes the app look better, but it saves battery life. And yes, I even show you how to stop app icons from automatically appearing on your home screen. Device settings are easily ignored, but they're important to get your device just right. Andrew Hoyle/CNET Customize your privacy options Before you take a break, do yourself and your Android phone one last favor -- double-check your privacy settings. Open the Settings app then tap Privacy > Permissions Manager. Go through each category to see which apps currently have access to which treasure trove of your personal data. Find an app you don't want to have access to your location? Turn it off. The same goes for contacts, calendar or camera. It doesn't take long to go through each section, and even if it did, it's well worth the effort.

Crowded by EV Rivals, Tesla Preps For Critical Earnings Report
For what feels like the third or fourth time in a row now, Tesla is gearing up for what may be the most important earnings call in its history. The electric vehicle maker reports after the bell today, holding its first call with analysts and investors at the dawn of a new era that finds the company squeezed between increased competition and a high-stakes feud involving its enigmatic CEO and the US federal government. At stake are billions in lucrative tax credits. Buckle up, things could get pretty bumpy. READ ALSO: Tariffs 'The World Can Live With': US-Japan Trade Pact Pushes Markets to Record Highs and Amazon, Meta Wear AI-mbitions on Their Wrists Credit Score After something of a shareholder mutiny earlier this year sparked by his divided attention while serving as an aide to President Trump, Elon Musk has seemingly quelled the critics. Now, Tesla must confront its myriad headwinds. First and foremost: The regulatory credits Tesla sells to combustion-engine carmakers to offset their tailpipe emissions. Selling the credits has been big business for Tesla, generating more than $10 billion in revenue since 2019 and accounting for a substantial portion of its free cash flow in 2024. Recent legislation, however, eliminates the hefty fines that traditional automakers face for failing to reach emissions standards, thus reducing the demand for Tesla's carbon credits. Tesla's credit sales already dipped in the first quarter, generating revenue of just $595 million compared with $692 million in the final quarter of 2024. Analysts at William Blair and Co. recently projected that revenue in the category might fall by 75% next year, and be virtually eliminated by 2027. Analysts at Piper Sandler, meanwhile, are slightly more bullish, recently projecting that 'Tesla will still book around $3B in credits this year, followed by $2.3B in 2026.' Many legacy automakers have long-term contracts for carbon credits from Tesla. Still, those same legacy automakers are suddenly catching up to Tesla in the EV realm: While Tesla remains the EV king in the US, its sales are shrinking just as rivals' are growing. The Automotive News Data Center estimates that Tesla sold 125,000 EVs in the US in the second quarter, down almost 17% year-over-year (Tesla doesn't break down its delivery figures by region). GM, meanwhile, reports that it sold 46,280 EVs in the second quarter and 78,167 EVs so far this year, representing a 111% increase from 2024. That puts GM's domestic EV market share at around 13%, while most estimates peg Tesla's once-dominant US market share at just 43% now. 'GM is quietly building trust while Elon burns it,' Paul Waatti, director of industry analysis for AutoPacific, recently told USA Today. Bleep Bloop: Still, Tesla has a sky-high forward price-to-earnings ratio for a reason. Thus far, at least, Musk has been able to sell investors on a future of self-driving cars and robotics. A robotaxi pilot program launched in Austin, Texas, earlier this summer. 'Outside of guidance, the market will likely be focusing on the robotaxi business, which had to navigate a slew of weather problems,' David Wagner, head of equity and portfolio manager at Aptus Capital Advisors, told The Daily Upside. 'The company has a 'hopes and dreams' multiple, so anything focusing on [autonomous vehicles], robotics and the other innovative products should be the focal point.'
