Amazon is now offering the Samsung 2TB T7 Portable USB 3.2 External Solid-State Drive for $259.99 shipped. This model sold for $300 or more for most of last year before dropping down to a regular price of $270 at the top of the year via several retailers. Today’s deal is within $10 of the Black Friday listing at Amazon and the lowest price we can find. Both B&H and Best Buy have it down at $260 as well. Shipping with a pair of connector cables, this one is ready for USB 3.0 and USB-C devices right out of the box. Wrapped up inside of a lightweight, palm-sized package, this model is ideal for “storing critical business documents, games, or movies” at speeds up to 1,050MB/s with its embedded PCIe NVMe technology that’s almost twice as fast as the previous-generation offering. Rated 4+ stars from hundreds at Best Buy. More details below.
Update 1/13 @ 2:19 PM: Amazon is offering the PNY XLR8 4TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Internal Solid-State Drive for $500.09 shipped. Today’s deal marks a new all-time low and is a $20 drop from its previous going rate.
If you’re looking for something a little bit more rugged, you can lock in 1TB of SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD for around $134 on Amazon right now. This one is arguably much of the same in terms of specs, just with a more protected shell including 2-meter drop protection and IP55 water resistance in tow.
Alongside this ongoing price drop on the Sabrent Rocket Nano Rugged 1TB model, the latest Seagate One Touch USB-C SSDs have dropped even lower. Starting from $70 shipped, these options can go nearly as fast as the options above and start at a much more affordable price tag. Head over to our recent coverage for a complete picture of what you’re in for and more details on the price drop.
