Update: An even more affordable 4TB solution has now emerged as Amazon is now offering the highest-capacity Crucial X6 Portable SSD is now down at $209.99 shipped. Regularly $280 and $20 under the direct sale price, this is a new all-time low at Amazon. While not quite as fast as the model below at 800MB/s, it’s also far more affordable and still much faster than a HDD counterpart. The 500GB variant is also back down to the Amazon low at $42.50 as well.
While we are still tracking some solid offers by way of hangover World Backup Day deals, one new offer we didn’t see hit Amazon last week was on the SanDisk 4TB Extreme PRO Portable Solid-State Drive. This professional-grade and particularly rugged solution has now dropped down to $329.99 shipped. This model sat at $450 or more for almost all of last year before falling to the $400 regular price range ahead of the holidays where it remains to this day. Today’s deal is a new Amazon all-time low and the best price we can find as well. As you’ll know from our hands-on review of the 2TB model, this one outperforms most standard-issue portable SSDs out there with a 2,000MB/s speed max and a design that screams quality the second you take it out of the packaging. A combination of a robust rubber exterior and a forged aluminum chassis that acts as a heatsink complement sustained performance and support the drive’s included 5-year warranty. Get a closer look at the specs right here and down below.
A more affordable way to hit speeds like those mentioned above is with something like the Kingston XS2000 models. While the 4TB model isn’t as affordable as today’s lead deal, you can score the 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB variants starting from $73 shipped at Amazon. All of which clock in with the same modern USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 specs and up to 2000MB/s speeds as well.
If you can make do with something a little bit more modest in the speed department, the standard issue SanDisk Extreme models are worth a look while they are starting from $90. But as we mentioned above, you’ll want to browse through the leftover World Backup Day deals right here as well – the Samsung 2022 model T7 Shield deals are still live for example, among several others.
