There are speedy flash drives, and then there’s the SK Hynix Tube T31 that’s currently on sale for $80 on Amazon, down from its usual $135. Unlike a flash drive, though, this thing is actually a fast 1TB portable SSD that just happens to look like a flash drive.

We reviewed the SK Hynix Tube T31 a while back and loved how well it performs. We gave it an impressive rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars along with our Editors’ Choice award. Our expert reviewer appreciated the speed of this device, its small form factor, and its affordability.

While this model may cost a bit more than a regular 1TB flash drive, the extra price is more than worth it for the extra performance, and it’s more than reasonable for a high-powered external SSD.

The SK Hynix Tube T31 delivers great sequential read and write speeds of up to 1,000MB/s. It has a USB-A 3.2 connector that makes it easy to plug into any laptop, desktop PC, or even your TV (for when you want to stream videos stored on the drive).

It also works well with gaming consoles including the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and more. Storing games on the Tube T31 is a smart way to ensure smooth gameplay and quick loading times while freeing up space on the console’s built-in drive.

And don’t overlook how small this thing is — not quite as small as a USB flash drive, but certainly smaller than most compact external SSDs. I can’t emphasize enough how much we love its portability.

So, if you’ve been in need of a portable SSD and you’ve been holding out for a great deal, this is your chance. Grab the SK Hynix Tube T31 for $80 on Amazon while you can (and make sure you clip the on-page coupon).
