SK Hynix is entering a competitive space with a 1,050MB/s portable SSD, despite the all-time low pricing and particularly unique form-factor here. All things considered, you can score a far more popular Samsung T7 portable model with a 1TB capacity for even less at times (although the price has jumped back up to $70 now). And while it is currently among the lower-priced options out there, you can score this 500GB PNY EliteX-PRO at under $47 shipped on Amazon with speeds up to 1,500MB/s.
As for the latest releases in the portable storage space, Crucial’s new X9 and X10 Pro models debuted on Amazon with prices starting from $80 shipped and impressive speeds up to 2,100MB/s. You can get a complete breakdown of what to expect from these in our coverage and be sure to swing by the rest of storage deals right here.
