Update: Amazon has just knocked the price of the SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD down to $219.99 shipped. Regularly as much as $280 at Amazon, this is matching the second-best price we have tracked there and the lowest we can find. It is also $30 under the Western Digital sale price and the first price drop since the holiday season last year. Get a closer look in our hands-on review

Amazon is now offering the PNY EliteX-PRO 2TB Portable Solid-State Drive for $159.99 shipped. This model fetched $245 for most of last year before dropping down to $171 back in November. Today’s offer delivers a new Amazon all-time low, the first price drop since just before Black Friday, and the best deal we can find. You’ll also still see the 500GB and 1TB variants down at the $60 and $93 all-time lows as well. This up to 1,600MB/s solution is $10 under the price of the slower SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD and on par with the 1,050MB/s Samsung Shield T7 deal we are tracking right now. You’re looking at a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 drive with USB-C connectivity and an extended 3-year warranty that landed in the notable bang for your buck section of our latest roundup of the best portable SSDs out there.

If you’re in the market for a 1TB portable option right now, the deal we are tracking from yesterday on the WD USB-C My Passport SSD is worth a closer look. This model delivers specs on par with most of the big name brands in the product category right now outside of the far more pricey pro-grade options and is now sitting at the $90 Amazon low.
