Today we have spotted a few notable deal son portable solid-state drives starting with the Lexar SL660 Blaze 1TB Gaming Portable External SSD at $147.37 shipped. This model launched back in May as the brand’s latest entry to its gaming accessory lineup at $200. It has since dropped to $190 and more recently in the $170 to $180 range before hitting today’s new Amazon all-time low. Now at the best price we have ever tracked, it delivers modern USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 support with NVMe performance at speeds that outperform most options in its class. Moving at up to 2,000MB/s, it is ready to house your game library and just about anything else you might keep on a portable SSD as well as a unique form-factor made of aluminum with a sandblasted finish “for added protection, shock and vibration resistance.” You’ll also find a detachable stand, USB-C connectivity, 256-bit AES encryption, a 5-year warranty, and RGB LED lighting. More deals and details below.
While not the lowest price we have tracked, you can get the same modern Lexar treatment detailed above with the 512GB model at $120 shipped on Amazon. But if the gaming-specific design isn’t of interest here, check out some of the other portable SSD deals we are tracking below:
