Slide 1TB of Kingston DataTraveler Max USB-C flash drive into your kit at the $70 Amazon low

Reg. $120/$70

Update: Joining the 1TB deal below, Amazon also now has the 256GB model down at a new $24.99 all-time low. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $25. Regularly $38 these days, this is the lowest price we have tracked on the most affordable model of one of our favorite flash drives. 

Amazon is now offering its best price yet on the Kingston DataTraveler Max 1TB USB-C Flash Drive for $69.99 shipped. This model launched at $190 before settling down into a $130 regular price across 2022. Today’s deal is a new Amazon all-time low at $30 under our holiday mentions from last year and the best price we can find. It carries a regular price of $120 these days at places like B&H where it is now matched. Kingston’s DataTraveler Max lineup is one of our favorite in the product category, delivering particularly notable speeds up to 1,000MB/s in a compact form-factor small enough to slide onto your keychain or into your EDC. Combining support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 gear with a unique ridged casing to add grip and house the 1TB of storage, it is easily among the best options in its class. Get a closer look in our hands-on review and head below for more details. 

When it comes to USB-C flash drives at these sorts of speeds and prices, options are somewhat limited. The OWC metal Thunderbolt Envoy Mini Portable SSDs we absolutely loved after going hands-on, for example, will run you $125 for the 1TB option. However, if you drop down to the lower-capacity Kingston DataTraveler Max, you can also drop pricing down into the $35 range. 

Elsewhere in storage deals, this morning saw a few solid price drops hit the popular SanDisk Extreme lineup with options starting from $90. These models clock in at a touch faster than the Kingston above and range up to 4TB in storage, but they are also a more pricey and larger to carry in your kit this spring and summer. Nonetheless, you can get a closer look at these deals right here if you’re in the market for something more substantial.
