Amazon is now offering the WD 500GB My Passport USB-C External Portable Solid-State Drive for $67.99 shipped. Regularly as much as $120 at Best Buy where it is on sale for $70, today’s deal is the best price we can find. This model actually fetches a regular price of $85 via WD these days and closer to $80 at Amazon with today’s offer coming within a couple bucks of the one-time lowest we have seen it go for. Featuring “blazing fast NVMe technology” it delivers more than capable 1050MB/s transfer speeds at a particularly affordable price for an SSD from Western Digital – it is rare to see portable SSDs at $68 per TB in lower capacities from the major brands. Other features include 256-bit AES hardware encryption, shock-, vibration-, and drop-resistance (to 6.5-feet), as well as the USB-C connection. Head below for details and some additional ongoing portable SSD price drops.
