Amazon is now offering the SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable USB-C SSD for $149.99 shipped. Matched as part of Best Buy’s Deals of the Day. Originally $250 and still regularly fetching as much as $240 at Best Buy, this model has sold for between $160 and $170 at Amazon in 2021 with today’s offer matching the lowest we have tracked there this year. This is the latest-generation SanDisk Extreme portable SSD model that can reach speeds up to 1050MB/s. Add in the “durable silicon shell” for heightened protection, up to 2-meter drop protection, IP55 water- and dust-resistance, and you’re looking at quite a robust portable solution. Other features include 256‐bit AES hardware encryption and USB-C connectivity (with a USB-A adapter). It carries a 4+ star rating from over 28,000 Amazon customers and a 5-year warranty.
