Amazon is now offering the SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB External USB-C NVMe Solid-State Drive $227.99 shipped. This one regularly fetches $350 at Best Buy where it is currently matched for today only. After sitting in the $290 range or more for most of last year, it has regularly been available for between $240 and $250 this year at Amazon. Today’s deal is the second-best price we have tracked outside of a brief stint at $200 on one of the best portable SSDs on the market. After going hands-on with the pro model, it’s safe to say the standard edition on sale today is likely the best bet for most folks with a 1,050MB/s transfer rate, USB-C and USB 3.2 Gen 2 support as well as a handy carabiner clip loop. This EDC storage is housed inside of a rubberized exterior with 2-meter drop protection, IP55 water and dust resistance alongside 256‐bit AES hardware encryption. Head below for more details.
An obvious lower-cost alternative comes by way of the 1TB model. If you can do with the lighter storage capacity, it packs in the same specs and build quality at a much more affordable price tag. Now available at $134 shipped on Amazon, this is another great edition to just about any EDC setup.
Elsewhere in the portable SSD category, we are still tracking a solid price drop on Crucial’s X8 model with 2TB of storage. Now starting at $190 shipped, this is matching the Amazon all-time low and coming with very similar specs as today’s lead deal, just with a less robust housing. Get a closer look right here.
