New low hits Samsung’s latest T7 Shield rubberized portable SSD from $133

Reg. $290 From $133

Update: Amazon has now knocked another few bucks off the 1TB Samsung T7 Shield portable SSDs for a total of $132.99 shipped and, subsequently, a new all-time low. More details below. 

After just launching yesterday (here’s our hands-on review), Amazon is now offering the first price drops on Samsung’s new T7 Shield portable Solid-State Drives. Releasing with a $160 and $290 MSRP on the 1TB and 2TB models, you can now score them for $134.99 and $239.99 shipped, respectively. Today’s deals are available in all three colorways as well. Delivering a ridged, rubberized elastomer exterior with 9.8-foot drop protection, IP65 water resistance, and “extreme“ temperature protection, these are the first price drops on the latest portable SSDs on the market. Clocking in at up to 1,050MB/s, they deliver USB-C connectivity alongside support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 gear as well as AES 256-bit hardware encryption and optional password protection. Get a closer look in our Tested with gadgetnewsonline feature and our hands-on review over on 9to5Mac. Then head below for more. 

if you don’t need the latest and greatest or the fastest possible speeds, consider the Crucial X6 1TB Portable SSD. This one sells for $90 on Amazon, saving you $45 over today’s new Samsung variants, with the same USB-C connection option. It’s not quite as speedy at up to 800MB/s, but it will certainly get the job done for most folks that aren’t in a rush. 

If you’re looking to take it up a notch though, this ongoing price drop on the larger SanDisk Pro 1,050MB/s 4TB G-Drive portable SSD is worth a look. Now $100 or more off the going rate, this one delivers similar specs as the new Samsung model above, albeit in an arguably less protective sheath. Take a closer look at this offer in our deal coverage from a couple days ago.
