Reg. $240 $185
Samsung T7 Shield Portable Solid-State Drive

Amazon is now offering the Samsung T7 Shield Portable Solid-State Drive for $185 shipped in the beige colorway. This one launched at $290 back in April before quickly dropping into the $240 range where it has remained for the most part. While we did see an extremely fleeting price drop that brought it even lower back at the beginning of August, today’s offer is the lowest we have tracked otherwise. This model features a rubberized and ridged outer shell to protect it from drops and the elements as well as to provide some extra grip in your hand and on the tabletop. You’re looking at a USB 3.2 Gen 2 PCIe NVMe SSD with USB-C connectivity, speeds up to 1,050MB/s, and a price $15 under the sale listing we are tracking on the comparable SanDisk Extreme variant. Hit up our hands-on review for a closer look and head below for more. 

You can save a touch more on the comparable Crucial X8 2TB Portable SSD right now. This one is selling for $180 shipped at Amazon right now while delivering the same 1,050MB/s with USB 3.2 tech, an anodized aluminum core, and 7.5 feet of drop protection. Just don’t expect to get the rubberized housing on this one.
