Alongside ongoing price drops on the new Shield model, Amazon is now offering the 2TB Samsung T7 Portable Solid-State Drive in red and blue for $219.99 shipped. Originally up over $300, it carries a $270 list price these days at Best Buy where it is now matched. Today’s deal is also undercutting the new T7 Shield 2TB price drop and matching the Amazon all-time low. Delivering up to 1,050MB/s transfer rates and compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 2 gear, this model is just as relevant today (or even more so) than when it was released. Among the more popular solutions on Amazon, it provides both USB-C and USB-A connectivity as well as a shock-resistant design that can withstand up to 6-foot drops alongside built-in password security. More details below.
While these days it would seem that brands like Samsung, SanDisk, Seagate, and WD dominate the storage space, it is certainly worth taking a look at the new Amazon all-time lows live on the Kingston portable SSDs. They deliver a nearly identical feature-set, and in some cases are even faster, at lower price points. The 500GB and 1TB XS2000 models are now starting from $75 shipped on Amazon and you can get a closer look at them right here.
But if you are partial to the popular SanDisk Extreme lineup, the 2,000MB/s pro-model is currently sitting at one of the best prices of the year on Amazon. Regularly $230, and originally much more than that, you can bring one home for $180 shipped right now. Get all of the details on the price drop right here and head over to our hands-on review for a breakdown of the user experience while you’re at it.
