Amazon is now offering the SanDisk Professional 1TB Thunderbolt 3 G-DRIVE PRO Portable Solid-State Drive for $249.99 shipped. Regularly $350 and currently on sale for $300 directly from Western Digital, this is a solid $100 price drop, the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon and the lowest we can find. There are some pro-grade portable SSDs out there, like the up to 2,000MB/s SanDisk Extreme model we reviewed previously, but not very many that can keep up with the 2,800MB/s this Thunderbolt 3 model can handle. A notable option for pro content creators and the like, the G-DRIVE lineup has been my go to for years when it comes to asset storage and streaming with this delivering a notable 3-meter drop protection and 1,000-pound crush resistance for peace of mind. The 5-year warranty is a nice touch as well. Head below for more details.
