Joining the best price yet on the 500GB model, Amazon is now offering the Kingston XS2000 1TB Portable Solid-State Drive for $99.99 shipped. This model fetched as much as $150 for the first half of last year before price drops brought it down into the $115 range. We saw it hit $110 during the holiday season last year and it has now dropped to a new Amazon all-time low. Clocking in at faster than almost all of the big name brand options with up to 2,000MB/s transfer rates, it delivers pro-grade speeds at a much lower price point. The USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 USB-C connectivity is ready and waiting here alongside the expected pocket-sized form-factor and safeguards against water, dust, and drops – you’ll also find a protective rubber sleeve in the package. More details below.
As we mentioned above, the smaller capacity 500GB variant is also on sale and makes for a notable alternative if you can make do with less storage space. It carries the same value-packed specs and performance as the model above alongside a more affordable $65 price tag.
But if you’re after the latest and greatest, SanDisk latest release in the portable SSD space is worth a closer look. Still sitting at its lowest price since its late 2022 release date, we just recently had a chance to go hands-on with the new PRO-G40 Thunderbolt/USB-C model and came away entirely impressed. You can get a closer look and more details in our review feature right here.
