Sure, the World Cup is over, but since there's still a deal on a World-Cup branded SSD, we're all for it. The Sandisk Portable 1TB SSD is on sale for $159.99 at Walmart, down from the list price at Sandisk of $215.99. That makes for a nice $92 discount.

Sandisk says this model comes with transfer rates that reach up to 800MB per second. The lightweight 0.09 pound SSD is also highly portable. Since this is a World Cup edition, we suspect stock is dwindling, so hop on this deal quickly if it suits your needs.
