Amazon is now offering the Lexar SL660 Blaze 512GB Gaming Portable External SSD at $85.49 shipped after you clip the on-page coupon. This model launched back in May at $130 and is now at the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon with shipping times ahead of Christmas. You’ll also find the 1TB model at $125.26 shipped, or matching the best we have tracked directly via Amazon. The SL660 delivers modern USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 support with NVMe performance at speeds that outperform most of the popular options in the space. 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. But you’ll also find a unique form-factor here with aluminum construction, a sandblasted finish “for added protection, shock, and vibration resistance” as well as a detachable stand, USB-C connectivity, 256-bit AES encryption, a 5-year warranty, and RGB LED lighting. More deals and details below.
If the gaming-focused design isn’t of interest, be sure to check out the ongoing price drops on the 2022 model PNY Pro Elite V2 for something more affordable. The 500GB model is currently starting at an Amazon all-time low with the 1TB coming in at under the price of the 500GB Lexar above. Get a closer look right here.
If it is the going-specific storage you’re after, another option to consider is WD_BLACK’s latest 1TB 2,000MB/s RGB Game Drive SSD. This one also released this year just before we had a chance to go hands-on with it and it is now sitting at the second-best price we have ever tracked. It’s not quite as fast as the Lexar above, but we loved our time with it and you can get a complete breakdown right here.
