Our favorite super-fast portable SSD just plunged to an absurdly low $63

One of the best portable SSDs we’ve ever tested, the 1TB SK Hynix Beetle X31, is on sale for a measly $63 as Black Friday deals kick off. That’s a 26 percent discount from its $85 MSRP, the best price we’ve seen for this model, and an all-around fantastic price for a portable SSD with virtually no flaws.

We reviewed this tiny portable SSD a while back and gave it a near-perfect 4.5 score, finding that it’s our top 10Gbps performer. While we didn’t really love its price point, that’s not an issue during this Black Friday given the substantial price drop.

Besides the super quick file transfer speeds, we really appreciated this drive’s build. Available with an aluminum casing, the SK Hynix Beetle X31 will withstand bumps and drops and protect your data just fine. Plus, it comes with a transparent silicone case for added protection.

It only comes in a golden hue that reminds us of Egyptian golden scarabs (hence the name, probably). This may not be your go-to choice necessarily, but if you get it, you really won’t be able to say you can’t find it on your desk or drawers — its color makes it easy to spot.

The SK Hynix Beetle X31 comes with two cables included (C-to-C and C-to-A) so you can use it with multiple types of devices without having to dig through your cable box.

So go ahead and take advantage of this jaw-dropping Black Friday deal — it’ll be hard to find a better one for an external drive this spectacular.
