Samsung’s massive 8TB portable SSD just dropped to its best price
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted the 8TB Samsung T5 EVO portable SSD for just $400 right now because that’s, by far, the best discount I’ve ever seen for it. (Before that, its best price was $430, so it’s quite the drop ahead of the holidays.)We reviewed the Samsung T5 EVO some time ago and gave it a 4-star rating for its small and rugged body plus its decently fast performance. “The T5 EVO is 5Gbps (Gen 1) USB 3.2, meaning that no matter what’s inside, it’s basically capped at 550MB/s.”Basically, while it may not be rocket-fast, it’s one of the few reliable portable SSDs to come in an enormous 8TB version. That’s an absolute ton of space! If you need a large portable drive to store your photos, videos, and games, you may never need another drive again if you get this one. (That’s over 800,000 regular-sized photos!)The Samsung T5 EVO uses a USB-C connection and it’s widely compatible with everything from PCs to Macs to gaming consoles and more. While the 8TB’s sale price is especially delicious, the other capacities are also on sale (in case you don’t need this much space):Samsung T5 Evo, 2TB, now $137.11 (40% off, was $229.99)Samsung T5 Evo, 4TB, now $199.99 (9% off, was $219.99)Don’t miss out on this chance to get a whopping 8TB of portable SSD storage for $400!

Georgia appeals court disqualifies Fani Willis but refuses to drop case against Trump
An appeals court in Georgia disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump and others for allegedly trying to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The court, however, declined to dismiss the case altogether.In a 12-page ruling, the court said a previous ruling by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee allowing Willis to remain on the case if special prosecutor Nathan Wade withdrew did not prevent an "appearance of impropriety." Willis and Wade admitted to having a romantic relationship."The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring," the ruling said. "While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings."ALSO READ: We're watching the largest and most dangerous 'cult' in American history"While this is the rare case in which DA Willis and her office must be disqualified due to a significant appearance of impropriety, we cannot conclude that the record also supports the imposition of the extreme sanction of dismissal of the indictment under the appropriate standard," the judges added.According to WABE, it was unlikely that Trump would face trial before 2029. However, the remaining 14 co-defendants could be tried as early as next year.
