With the prices of SSDs falling, choosing an external SSD over a regular external HDD makes a lot more sense. This is because SSDs are generally more durable compared to regular HDDs that have more moving parts, which means that even if you don’t necessarily need the speeds, they should in theory last longer.
That being said, external SSDs still command a premium over external HDDs, but if you’ve been eyeing one, now’s a good time to get one because right now, SanDisk’s 1TB Extreme PRO portable SSD is on discount. The SSD is normally priced at $310, but it is being discounted by a whopping 61% that brings its price down to $120, saving you close to $200 in the process.
This is a great SSD deal because at $120, there’s really no reason to get a HDD over an SSD. You’ll want to move fast because we’re not sure when this SanDisk SSD deal will end.
