Kingston’s 2,000MB/s 500GB USB-C Gen 2×2 Portable SSD hits new Amazon low at $65

Reg. $80 $65

Update: Amazon is now offering the SanDisk Professional 4TB G-Drive External Desktop Hard Drive for $172.39 shipped. Regularly $210, this is a new Amazon all-time low and the best price we have tracked since it went live there back in October. This is the latest-generation model with a 7200RPM drive, 10Gb/s USB-C connectivity, USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, and a stackable, anodized aluminum enclosure. 

Amazon is now offering the Kingston XS2000 500GB USB-C Portable Solid-State Drive for $64.99 shipped. Regularly $80, it has more recently been sitting in the $72 range and is now $10 under our previous mention to deliver a new Amazon all-time low. The 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB models are now going for $114.99, $184.99, and $384.99 respectively – that’s within $7 of the all-time low on the 1TB model and new Amazon lows on the other two. While it might not be one of the big-time popular brands in the space or the new PRO-G40 SSD model from SanDisk that is now starting from the $280 all-time low, it is, for the most part, just as feature-rich and even more affordable. Featuring a speedy 2,000MB/s transfer rate, it also supports USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 gear over a USB-C connection and includes a rubber sleeve for added protection from the elements. More details below. 

If speed isn’t a factor for you, something like the Crucial X6 500GB Portable SSD will save you even more at under $50 shipped. Just keep in mind it runs significantly slower at around 540MB/s, but this PNY Pro Elite V2 500GB will get you a bit closer at up to 1,100MB/s for $55 shipped on Amazon. Both solid options that also highlight how solid of a deal today’s featured offer is considering its specs. 

As we mentioned above, we are also tracking the first price drops on the SanDisk PRO-G40 SSD model. This one debuted later last year as one of the fastest models from the brand with dual-mode compatibility over Thunderbolt 3 (40Gb/s) and USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2, 10Gb/s). Get a closer look at this one while the price is still marked down in yesterday’s coverage
