Originally $190, it more typically carries a $130 regular price these days and is now at the best price we can find. Today’s deal is also a new Amazon all-time low and the fist notable deal we have tracked since Black Friday last year. Seagate says users will experience “high-speed, no-lag PC gaming with an external portable USB-C drive harnessing fierce FireCuda NVMe SSD performance” here. It delivers support for USB 3.2 gen 2×2 with speeds rivaling just about all portable SSDs in this price range at up to 2,000MB/s. The sturdy aluminum enclosure and customizable RGB LED lights that sync with the Seagate FireCuda Gaming Dock are also a nice touches as well. Head below for additional details.
One thing to keep in mind here is that you are paying a but of a premium with the Seagate portable Firecuda gaming drives. There are more affordable WD models out there – the newer WD_BLACK 500GB P40 Game Drive SSD sells for $90, for example – but you can get even better bang for your buck landing a portable SSD that isn’t specifically designed for gaming. The SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD is only about half the speed of the aforementioned options here, but you can land double the storage for $99 shipped.
