One of our most favorite portable SSDs is now on sale at a fantastic discount, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. The gorgeous, speedy, and tiny SK Hynix Beetle X31 (1TB version) is currently available for $80 on Amazon instead of its usual $135.

In our review of the SK Hynix Beetle X31, we gave it a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars and raved about the SSD’s compact design and the fact that it was our top 10Gbps performer among competitors.

The Beetle X31 is a super-fast device that delivers read speeds of up to 1,050MB/s, so transferring large files is an absolute breeze. “The Beetle X31 took the number-one spot among 10Gbps SSDs in synthetic benchmarks and our 48GB transfer tests,” our expert noted.

And this SSD is so small that you’re likely to mistake it for a flash drive if you aren’t paying attention, but you probably won’t lose it because it stands out so well with its golden appearance.

Despite its unusual design, know that it’s actually quite durable, with SK Hynix claiming that it can withstand 6-foot drops.
