Get a tiny, ultra-fast 512GB flash drive for $33
No matter how much I move my stuff to cloud storage, every once in a while I still need to use you. shoes. And this deal is probably the best I've seen in terms of bang for your buck. Today Amazon has a SanDisk 512GB flash drive, using a super-fast USB 3.2 connection. For only $32.99. That's about two-thirds off the original $90 MSRP, and $13 cheaper than the same drive at Best Buy.
512GB is a huge amount of storage for removable media, but you can find it cheaper elsewhere. What makes this deal so appealing to me is the speed. When plugged into a compatible USB 3.2 port, this thing can read up to 130 megabytes per second. This will let you copy your entire 122 gigabytes. Baldur's Gate III Install the drive in about sixteen minutes.
It's three times faster than a USB 3.0 flash drive (which is also much larger) at the same price. Throw in the smaller size, and it's a fantastic deal—seriously, use that lanyard loop or you might lose this thing in your bag.
Also note that read speeds are very good, but write speeds are quite slow, at around 44 megabytes per second according to user reviews. If you need something faster and more capacious, you might want to move up to a dedicated portable SSD like the Samsung T7 Shield. Which is still on sale.. And if you need storage for mobile devices and cameras, This high-speed 512GB microSD card is a steal at $30..
Editor's note: This deal was first published on May 2 but has been updated to include a link to the great SD card sale.
