Alongside a series of ongoing portable SSD deals from the brand, Amazon is now offering the SanDisk Professional 18TB G-DRIVE Desktop Hard Drive for $499.99 shipped. Also matched at B&H. Regularly $450, this is a solid $50 price drop, the first notable deal we have tracked on Amazon, and subsequently, a new all-time low. Content creators and folks who need some serious storage capacity might want to take a closer look at this deal. Alongside USB-C connectivity, this USB 3.2 Gen 1 provides up to 260MB/s transfer rates and a massive amount of storage you can keep on hand in your home studio or take with you elsewhere when collaborating with others. Apple Time Machine ready, it carries a 7200RPM drive and that stylish all-aluminum G-DRIVE enclosure that looks great on your workstation as well. Rated 4+ stars at B&H. More details below.
