Seagate’s originally $170 metal and fabric 1TB portable SSD just dropped to $128 shipped

Amazon is now offering the 1TB Seagate One Touch Portable Solid-State Drive for $127.99 shipped. This one launched at $170 before spending almost all of last year at $160. It did drop to the $135 range at the top of the year but is now at the second-best price we have tracked on Amazon at within $4 of the all-time low there. This one stands out from the pack with a sort of brushed aluminum construction flanked with fabric ends and modern USB 3.2 Gen2 support. It delivers both USB-C and USB-A connectivity out of the box as well as up to 1030MB/s transfer speeds to bring fast and reliable storage to your EDC when it comes to everything from photos and video to other content creation assets. More details below. 

Kingston’s 2,000MB/s 1TB portable SSD is a great lower-cost alternative that seemingly slips under the radar far more than it deserves. Currently sitting at the Amazon all-time low as part of our coverage from late last month, you can land 1TB of storage for $115 shipped right now. While it won’t bring the novel metal and fabric-wrapped design like our lead deal, it is an even faster solution with just about all of the same amenities otherwise.
