Amazon is now offering the SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB External USB-C NVMe Solid-State Drive for $199.99 shipped. Update: The discount will appear once added to your cart. This popular option spent most of last year between $290 and $320 before dropping down to the $250 range during the holidays and into January 2022. Our latest roundup of portable SSDs had it on sale for $220 alongside a few daily price drops to $218, but it will now drop to $200 flat during checkout at Amazon. This is the more affordable and, in many cases, more universally-suitable version of pro model we reviewed recently. However, it can transfer data at up to 1,050MB/s with support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB-C connectivity. It features a sort of protective rubber frame to keep your data safe with a carabiner loop, 2-meter drop rating, and a IP55 water and dust resistance. Rated 4+ stars from hundreds at Best Buy where it is ons ale for $235. More details below.
A more affordable solution in the form of the Crucial X6 2TB Portable SSD. This one sells for $180 shipped at Amazon and provides speeds up to 800MB/s. It’s not quite as fast and popular as the SanDisk option, but it will save you some money with USB 3.2 and USB-C in tow. Plus, you’ll find even more portable SSD deals below.
