Our favorite portable SSD is on sale for its lowest price yet

Here’s one of the coolest things we’ve ever tested at PCWorld: this tiny, super-fast SSD that’s about the size of a bulky flash drive and looks like a shiny, golden scarab. It has a fitting name, too!

Already awesome enough at full price, the SK Hynix Beetle X31 is now down to $47.80 on Amazon, a sizable drop from its usual $70. That’s a fantastic deal and one we think is absolutely worth jumping on.

The SK Hynix Beetle X31 is one of the most compact and stylish SSDs out there today. In our review of the SK Hynix Beetle X31, we gave it a 4.5 out of 5 stars rating and appreciated its performance and design, although we do wish it came in colors other than gold. “The Beetle X31 took the number-one spot among 10Gbps SSDs in synthetic benchmarks and our 48GB transfer tests,” noted our expert as he crowned the Beetle as the winner in a battle between similarly classed SSDs.

This SSD delivers blazing-fast data speeds with a sequential read speed of up to 1,050MB/s, making it perfect for quick file transfers, seamless video editing, and smooth gaming.

The SK Hynix Beetle X31 is pretty versatile, too, able to be used with a wide range of devices, including desktops, laptops, Macs, Android devices, tablets, and gaming consoles. It comes with two cables (one USB C-to-C and one USB C-to-A), so it’s a breeze to connect it to any of your gadgets and computers.
