The WD My Passport 512GB SSD gives you speed and space on sale for $80

The WD My Passport 512GB external portable solid state drive has dropped to $79.99 on Amazon. This deal is a price match of one of Best Buy's deals of the day featuring the same device at the same price. This is a one-day only thing so don't expect the price to last long. While the drive normally sells for a street price around $90, it does go as high as $130 at Best Buy on a regular basis. Either way, today's drop to $80 is a match for the lowest we've ever seen, and it's a drop we have not seen since early 2019.



This hard drive is a newer generation of WD My Passport drives. There's an aesthetic difference compared to the previous generation. These feature metallic enclosures and matte finishes. They're also slightly thinner, taller, and overall sleeker. On the inside, a few changes were made as well. There's automatic backup software as well as built-in encryption to protect your data. Transfer speeds are slightly faster as well.
