For just $129.87, down from its list price of $149. The 30-day average on this drive runs $251.36, and the 90-day average sits at $258.08, making this a drop from recent pricing. While the all-time low hit $36.78, that figure reflects earlier flash sales -- current pricing at $129.87 is well below the recent norm and lands under the $149 list price.

What You're Getting

This 500GB external SSD delivers up to 1050MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2, fast enough for 4K video transfers, large photo libraries, and game installs. The rugged aluminum casing is shock-resistant and weighs only 31 grams.

It supports Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, PS5, PS4, Xbox, and Smart TV out of the box. Built-in security includes disk lock and 256-bit AES encryption.

Who This Is For

Best for: iPhone and iPad users offloading ProRes video, creatives who need a fast USB-C drive for cross-platform work, and anyone building a console game library who wants pocket-sized storage. Skip if you need more than 500GB -- the 2TB version exists for heavier workloads.

Final Verdict

For $129.87, you are getting a 1050MB/s USB-C SSD that weighs less than a set of keys and works with every device you own. If you need portable storage before the fall travel season. This is the price to act on.
