We are now tracking a deal at Amazon, which drops Lexar’s 2TB ES5 magnetic portable SSD down to $269.99 shipped. This drive originally launched at around $200 before climbing to $400 earlier this year. It hasn’t seen many discounts besides when it dropped to $295 during the recent Prime Day sale, but today’s offer knocks it further down with an additional $25. That makes this the lowest price we’ve seen for this unit since the hike and a great time to pick up a compact and reliable MagSafe-compatible SSD for less. Head below for more details.
Lexar’s ES5 is a portable USB-C SSD with a magnetic design that lets it snap onto the back of compatible iPhones. That makes it particularly useful for anyone who records a lot of ProRes video, as the latest iPhone Pro models can save footage directly to the drive at up to 4K 120fps. It also works with PCs, Macs, tablets, and gaming handhelds, so it is not limited to phone use. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 and can reach transfer speeds of up to 2,000MB/s for quickly moving large files. Deals on portable drives have been relatively scarce this year, and this one is worth considering if you want something more flexible than a basic external drive, especially for mobile video recording and everyday file transfers.
Our computer accessories hub has plenty of other deals waiting for you, if you’re fishing for more deals on gaming or workstation gear. Samsung’s 32-inch M8 monitor at $350 is particularly worth considering, as it’s one of the lowest prices we have tracked for it to date.
Lexar ES5 2TB magnetic portable SSD features:
- Up to 2000MB/s read and 2000MB/s write to transfer files fast for a smooth workflow (Performance on Mac and other systems not supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 may be lower)
- The drive’s MagSafe-compatible design makes it easy to attach to your compatible smartphone. An additional metal ring accessory gives any device a magnetic surface to attach to
