Add SanDisk’s 500GB G-DRIVE portable SSD to your kit at the new $61 Amazon all-time low

Reg. $95+ $61

Amazon is now offering the SanDisk Professional 500GB G-DRIVE Solid-State Drive for $60.99 shipped. Regularly $150, this model fetched $110 for almost all of the last year and now more typically goes for $95 at Amazon. Today’s deal is well below any of those prices and sits at a new Amazon all-time low. I have been successfully using a larger capacity version of this drive for a while now – connected to a Mac mini that never turns off, it is constantly running without fail since the day I got it. You’re looking at “ultra-rugged” durability here with IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 3 meters of drop protection, and 2000-pound crush resistance. It moves data at up to 1,050MB/s and features a cooling aluminum core that sort of doubles as a heatsink. More details below. 

Today’s deal is already quite competitive for a 500GB SSD from a name brand. But if you can do without the speeds and ultra-rugged design, this Crucial X6 500GB Portable SSD is worth a look. It happens to also still be down at the $43 Amazon all-time low, comes in at a respectable 800MB/s, and features USB 3.2 USB-C support. 

However, if you are looking to take it up a notch or two with more storage space, the deal we have on SanDisk’s 4TB PRO 2,000MB/s portable SSD is indeed still live. This is SanDisk’s pro-grade Extreme variant that clocks in at up 2,000MB/s with a forged aluminum chassis that doubles as a heatsink and it is currently down at the Amazon all-time low.
