Amazon is now offering the Lexar SL660 Blaze 512GB Solid-State Gaming Drive at $49.99 shipped. After launching in May of 2022 with a $130 MSRP, it dropped into the $75 to $85 range this year. Today’s deal comes in at about $20 under the prices we featured a few months back, within $1 of the Amazon all-time low, is now at the lowest price we can find. For comparison’s sake, the comparable 500GB WD_BLACK P40 Game Drive sells for $80 right now – a relatively similar solution with a modern design and the same speeds. While the lighting on the SL660 Blaze isn’t quite as customizable as WD’s, it does come in at the same 2,000MB/s, delivers a more unique form-factor, and features an “aluminum enclosure with a sandblasted finish for added protection, shock, and vibration resistance.” Head below for more details.
As of right now (or ever really), you’ll be hard-pressed to find a purpose-built gaming SSD for less than the offer highlighted above. If you’re looking for something that reaches that 2,000MB/s speed range, the Lexar above is about as affordable as it gets. We are tracking some great deals on CORSAIR portable SSDs starting from $68 with a 1TB capacity, effectively delivering a lower price for the storage you’re getting, but when it comes to how much you’re spending right now, Lexar is the best deal.
If you’re looking to take it up a notch though, ongoing price drops on SanDisk’s PRO-G40 are where it’s at. One of our favorite models out there, we are still tracking all-time lows on the 1TB variant and all of the details you need are waiting in our previous deal coverage and in hands-on review. The rest of the portable SSD deals worth taking look at right now are right here.
