Samsung’s latest 1TB USB-C Gen 2 T7 Shield Portable SSD hits Amazon low at $98

Reg. $135/$98

Update: The black and blue model below gas now dropped to a new Amazon all-time low at $98 shipped. 

Amazon is now offering the 1TB Samsung T7 Shield Portable Solid-State Drive for $99.99 shipped. This one launched at $160 before dropping down to a regular price of $135. Today’s deal is matching the Amazon all-time low and only the second time we have seen it at under $117. It launched back in April as the latest edition to Samsung’s lineup, delivering a rubberized ridged shell with a 1,050MB/s transfer rate. Alongside support for the USB 3.2 Gen2 standard, it provides USB-C connectivity for your modern MacBook set up (and other machines) alongside protection against the elements.

An even better bang for your buck option comes by way of the deals we spotted on the 2022 model PNY portable SSDs. Its new EliteX-PRO models are now at new Amazon all-time lows with pricing start from $66 on the 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB variants. Dive in right here. 

Elsewhere in storage deals, we are also still tracking a solid price drop on Seagate’s 4TB portable drive down at $85. It might not be the speedy portable SSD many folks are after these days, but it does deliver a far better price on a TB by TB basis and makes for a notable option when it comes to casual photo backups and even Time Machine. All of the details you need on this offer are waiting in our previous deal coverage.
