Seagate’s fabric-flanked One Touch Portable SSD just hit the $47 Amazon all-time low

Reg. $60+/$47

Amazon is now offering the 500GB Seagate One Touch Portable Solid-State Drive for $46.86 shipped. This one started the year at $70 via Amazon, remained there until late May, and then dropped into the $60 range. After popping back up to $70 earlier this month, it has now fallen to a new Amazon all-time low. For further comparison, a 500GB Samsung T7 starts at $80 right now. While the Seagate One Touch is a touch slower at 1,030MB/s compared to the 10,50MB/s on the T7, it’s really not by much. The Seagate also has a nice metal frame flanked by fabric-wrapped edges to standout from the pack alongside “out-of-the-box compatibility with Windows, Mac, and Android.” Head below for more details. 

As of right now (or just about any time really), finding a 500GB portable SSD from a reputable brand at a price like this with speeds like this really isn’t easy. You can save a couple bucks and score the Crucial X6 500GB Portable SSD, but the transfer rates on that model drop down significantly to 800MB/s – that’s not a worthy trade off for less than $2 in savings if you ask me. 

But if you’re a content creator or a gamer that needs to move files around even faster than any of the above options, you’ll want to scope out our hands-on review of Samsung’s new 2,000MB/s USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 T9 Portable SSD as well as the ongoing deals we are tracking on Kingston’s XS2000 and WD_BLACK’s 2,000MB/s P40 Game Drive SSD.
