This is the brand’s latest Gen 5 drive that debuted earlier this year in April carrying a $180 price tag. Today’s Prime-exclusive deal lands as this 1TB variant’s first deal and it takes $27 off its usual going rate. The 2TB and 4TB variants of this drive are also discounted right now at $209.98 and $424.99 shipped, respectively, and they’ve all hit a new all-time low today. Head below for more details.
