Joining a solid price drop on the 2TB model that is now matching the all-time low, Amazon is now offering the WD_BLACK 1TB P40 Solid-State Game Drive for $105.29 shipped. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon. This model hit store shelves last summer at $180 before dropping down into the $150 range ahead of Black Friday last year. It now carries a $137 regular price directly from Western Digital where it sells for $117 on sale, is now about $10 under our previous mention, and comes within $1 of the one-time Amazon low. As was detailed in our hands-on review, this is one of the best portable gaming SSDs out there with up to 2,000MB/s transfer rates and compatibility with PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Mac. Ready to help transport and store your game library (as well as just about anything else you might put on a portable SSD), it delivers a halo of multi-color LED lighting surrounding the metal-plated build that can be customized extensively within the PC companion app. Take a deeper dive right here and head below for more.
The most obvious lower-cost alternative comes by way of the 500GB model that currently goes for for $90 shipped at Amazon. You’re landing all of the same specs and features for less here, but I for one might splurge for the marginally more expensive option above with double the storage capacity. Your call.
