Alongside our ongoing portable SSD roundup, Amazon is now offering the SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB External USB-C NVMe Solid-State Drive for $217.99 shipped. Also matched as part of Best Buy’s Deals of the Day. This popular model spent most of last year between $290 and $320 before dropping down to the $250 range for the holidays and into this year. We have seen it for less in a couple of limited sales, but today’s offer is a couple bucks below our previous mention and the lowest we can find. A more affordable version of the pro model we reviewed recently, it can move data at up to 1,050MB/s with support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 alongside USB-C connectivity. It is also housed in a sort of rubber frame with a carabiner loop, 2-meter drop protection, and a IP55 water and dust resistance that “can take a beating.” Rated 4+ stars from hundreds at Best Buy. More details below.
