These tiny, fast 1TB portable SSDs are over 20% off each

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a proper discount on SK Hynix’s high-performance storage drives, so we rejoiced when we saw that Amazon’s Big Spring Sale event has slashed the prices on two of our favorites: the Beetle X31 and Tube 31 portable SSDs.

Right now, you can get the 1TB SK Hynix Beetle X31 for $68 (was $90) and the 1TB SK Hynix Tube T31 for $64 (was $80). We reviewed and loved both of these external storage options.

In our review of the Beetle X31, we gave it a near-perfect 4.5-star rating and found during testing that the golden beetle-style portable SSD delivered fast enough performance to place it among the top 10Gbps portable SSDs we’ve ever tested. We aren’t entirely sold on its shiny golden shell, but we understand SK Hynix’s direction—and it’s easy to overlook when you get this much storage with this much performance.

In our review of the Tube T31, we also gave this one a 4.5-star rating with lots of praise for its design. This is a compact portable SSD that looks like a flash drive, with a USB-A connection that works with pretty much any device you have (if not, then adapters are cheap). “The T31 features NVMe and 10Gbps USB and performs more like the cable-attached external 10Gbps USB SSDs we review—i.e., it’s fast.”

Take your pick, but don’t delay. This is a great time to grab a massive 1TB portable SSD at an affordable price, whether it’s the SK Hynix Beetle X31 for $68 or SK Hynix Tube T31 for $64!
