That's especially the case with any device that has storage or RAM. The bad part is that it doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon. So, when we see a good deal on any of the aforementioned products, we like to bring it up. This Verbatim 1TB portable SSD has an MSRP of $300, but you can now grab it for 50% less, coming in at just $150 for a limited time. It's as good as it's going to get The $300 MSRP is a bit of a shock, but we can't deny that a 1TB portable SSD costing $150 isn't a deal in these times. The drive is compact, measuring just under 97mm in length and weighing just 58 grams. It's also plenty durable, thanks to its polycarbonate exterior, which should protect against bumps and drops. Verbatim doesn't provide an IP rating, so we wouldn't recommend putting this device near moisture. For performance, we're looking at good speeds, with the drive delivering read and write performance that peaks at 1000MB/s. The built-in keyring is also a USB-C to USB-C cable, so you won't need anything extra when using this portable SSD on the go. If you're using this with Windows, the Verbatim drive also includes a copy of Nero Backup Software. This 1TB portable SSD is simple, easy to use, durable, and great for all kinds of uses. Back up your PC, smartphone, or tablet, and transfer data between devices. We don't think you'll be disappointed with this one. Just be sure to get it while it's still on sale.
