Amazon is currently offering the Western Digital 1TB My Passport Portable Solid-State Drive for $149.99 shipped. Typically fetching $200, today’s offer is $20 under our previous mention, amounts to 25% in savings, and marks a new Amazon all-time low. Having just been released at the end of last month, WD’s latest portable SSD packs up to 1,050MB/s transfer speeds thanks to its built-in NVMe drive. There’s also out of the box Mac connectivity with USB-C in tow alongside rugged housing that can withstand 6.5-foot drops. WD rounds out the notable features here with a shock- as well as vibration-resistant casing and a 5-year warranty for added peace of mind. Rated 4.4/5 stars. Head below for more.
Those who don’t need the 1TB storage capacity can bring home the 500GB version of WD’s new portable SSD. This one delivers a more affordable $108 price tag alongside the same 1,050MB/s transfer speeds and the rugged housing. You’re just getting half the storage as above while making out for notably less.
