This Blazing-Fast SK Hynix Portable SSD is Now Just $65 For Early Black Friday Tech Deals

A hyper-fast, ultra-compact portable SSD that’s compatible with virtually any USB-C device you can think of, from laptops to gaming consoles to cellphones sounds like a golden proposition to us. This one — the SK hynix Beetle X31 1TB drive — is actually golden, and it’s an amazing pre-Black Friday Amazon deal at just $65.

The SK hynix Beetle X31 normally sells for $94, and considering its small physical size and large internal capacity and incredible speed of up to 1,050 MB/s, it would be a very solid recommend at full price. But as an early Black Friday limited-time deal for 31% off at Amazon that brings the price down to just $65, this is a definite steal.

Wee, Yet Mighty

Even in the ever-shrinking world of portable hard drives, the SK hynix Beetle X31 stands out. It’s literally palm-sized — 74mm by 46mm — and while you can find other portable SSDs in the same size category, few if any can match the SK hynix Beetle X31’s speed, and when you’re transferring huge files or using the SSD as a gaming backup, speed is very much of the essence. At up to 1,050 MB/s, the SK hynix Beetle X31 is more than fast enough for even the largest data transfers and gaming needs.

As a USB-C drive, the SK hynix Beetle X31 also offers more compatibility than most drives, especially at this great price point. It instantly connects to PC and Mac laptops, desktops, tablets, PS5s, and even cellphones. It comes with a USB-C to USB-C cord, and also a USB-A to USB-C cord in case you need to connect it to an older device that still uses USB-A.

Tough Little Bug

Small sizes often translate to fragility, particularly when you’re talking about portable hard drives with their many tiny moving parts. Manufacturers are often not shy about sacrificing sturdy construction in the name of keeping their drives lightweight. But the SK hynix Beetle X31 is solidly built, with a rugged champagne gold aluminum shell. For further protection, it also comes with a silicon case that snugly encases the SK hynix Beetle X31’s body and renders it drop-proof from up to 2 meters, and also protects it from dust and dirt.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a portable SSD with 1TB of space that’s as portable, sturdy, or stylish as the SK hynix Beetle X31 at the $65 price this Amazon limited time early Black Friday deal brings it down to, and you absolutely will not find one as fast. But the deal is a limited-time offer, so don’t hesitate.
