Reg. $60/$49

Amazon is now offering Toshiba Canvio Gaming 1TB Portable External Hard Drive for $48.99 shipped. Regularly $60 like it currently fetches at Newegg, it is on sale for $55 on Best Buy and is now matching the Amazon 2022 low. While there are some non-gaming specific models for a touch less, like the WD 1TB Elements at $48 and the standard issue Toshiba Canvio at $45, these are really among the most affordable options for landing 1TB of storage to your setup from a name you can trust. The gaming model features an “always-on” option as well as cold storage compatibility with PS5 and Series X (as well as previous-generation consoles). The no-frills storage solution saves you cash at well below the price of comparable SSD options and also works with Mac and PC systems. More details below. 

As we mentioned above, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a comparable drive from a well-known brand for less than the models mentioned above. If you’re looking for some simple and affordable storage for games, files, photos, or just backups, they are certainly worth a closer look. 

If you’re in the market for some internal storage deals, we have some notable options for you right now from PNY and others. The brand’s XLR8 Gen4 models are now seeing some new Amazon all-time lows in the 2TB capacity starting from $225 with the PS5-ready heatsink model on tap as well.
