Lexar’s tiny 1TB Go portable SSD adds 4K Apple Pro Res action to iPhone at a new $121 low

New low/$121

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops Lexar’s 1TB Professional Go SSD down to $120.88 shipped. That’s $69 less than the $190 price at which it debuted in October last year. Today’s deal knocks this unit $14 below the price we tracked for it last month, marking a new best price to beat. The 2TB variant is also at $197.88 shipped right now, down from its usual price of $300. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this portable SSD that lets you directly capture 4K Apple Pro Res footage straight from iPhone 15 and 16 Pro/Pro Max devices, and you’ll find more details of the drive below.

The SSD, as previously mentioned, is available in 1TB and 2TB capacity, and they’re both down to their lowest prices right now. The Lexar Profesional Go comes with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support and has a built-in USB-C connector which you can plug directly into the bottom of the handset.

If you’re looking for alternatives, Samsung’s 2TB T7 portable SSD is still down at $130. This is regularly a $170 drive, and it’s now down to its lowest price of the year with a $40 discount.
