If you’re a photographer or content creator, then you know that storage space is a valuable resource — especially while you’re on the road. Fortunately, SanDisk has a portable SSD that’s specifically designed for creatives, and it just got its first-ever discount at Amazon. You can grab the 2TB model for a record-low $180 right now, which is $80 off the usual price. The 4TB model is also on sale for $300, though that’s not quite as much of a discount. There’s also no set expiration for these offers, so you may want to get your order in sooner rather than later, as they could vanish at any time.
So what exactly makes this brand-new SSD so special? For one, it’s extremely durable with an IP65 resistance to water and dust, and drop protection up to thee meters. But the main attraction is its blazing-fast read speeds of up to 2000 MB/s so you can easily back up all your photos, videos and other content on the fly. It’s also designed with an integrated carabiner loop so you can easily clip it to your bag or backpack while you’re on the go. Plus, this deal comes with one free month of Adobe Creative Cloud.
It’s important to note that select SanDisk and WD drives were found to have a defect that caused complete data loss. The issue was identified back in 2023, and primarily affected the Extreme series SSDs, so these new drives should not be affected, but it’s still worth calling out.
