Update: Amazon has now dropped the 1TB model in blue down to $80.99 shipped. That’s $9 under the recent early Black Friday price drop, a new Amazon all-time low, and the best price we can find. Details are as follows.
Joining the rest of this weekend’s portable solid-state drive deals, Amazon just knocked the 2022 model Samsung T7 Shield 2TB model down to $149.99 shipped in all colors. Regularly $250 and more like $220 at Amazon, this is the lowest price we have tracked on the 2TB variant outside of an extremely fleeting and likely pricing mistake back in August. Today’s deal is at least $70 in savings and the lowest price we can find. We did see it at $170 and with a FREE $17 flash drive recently, but that deal has been flipped out for the lower price tag now. As you might now from our hands-on review, this one launched earlier this year as the latest 1,050MB/s in the brand’s lineup with USB 3.2 Gen2 support, USB-C connectivity, and a unique ridged rubber shell for protection. Speaking of which, it also carries an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. Get a closer look right here and then below for more additional details and more portable SSD deals.
The early holiday portable SSD deals have certainly arrived with markdowns on the popular SanDisk Extreme lineup delivering some of the best deals ever alongside options from WD and Seagate as well as this deals on Crucial’s X8 model. The deals start from $70 and you’ll find the best of them organized for you right here.
If you’re looking for something more gaming focused, the latest WD_BLACK 1TB P40 Game Drive SSD is a solid option that is also now on sale from $130. We had a chance to give this one a go in a hands-on review a couple months ago, coming away impressed with the custom RGB lighting treatment, metal plate build, and general performance.
