WD’s 2TB My Passport Portable SSD lands in your EDC with new Amazon all-time low at $210

Reg. $230+ $210

Update: Amazon is now offering the Seagate 1TB and 2TB USB-C Expansion SSD for $109.99 and $209.99 shipped, respectively. Regularly $140 and $250 or more, both of these prices are new Amazon all-time lows and the best we can find. These models deliver unique fabric-wrapped housings you won’t see on the other major players in the space. 

While we are still tracking notable price drops on the 1TB variant, Amazon is now offering the WD 2TB My Passport Portable External Solid-State Drive for $209.99 shipped. This model sat in the $270 and up range for most of last year before settling out around $230 in 2022. Today’s offer is a new Amazon all-time low and the best price we can find. Delivering industry-standard 1,050MB/s transfers speeds, this is a notable option for your EDC and at-home storage needs. Alongside the usual 256-bit AES hardware encryption, it features a shock-, vibration-, and drop-resistant design that can withstand falls up to 6.5 feet, according to WD. USB 3.2 Gen-2 support via USB-C as well as USB-A connectivity round out the feature set. More details below. 

As we mentioned above, we are also tracking the smaller capacity 1TB model down at $117 shipped. This is a new all-time low at Amazon and a notable lower-cost alternative to today’s lead deal if you can make do with less storage. The specs and feature set are essentially the same as the model highlighted above as well, just with a lighter price tag to match the 1TB setup. 

If you prefer to go the SanDisk route, we are also tracking a solid price drop on its popular Extreme model portable SSD. Currently sitting at $130 shipped for the 1TB version, this one delivers a slightly more enhanced design than the more affordable solution above with a similar 1,050MB/s speed and a rugged, rubberized shell.
