The unbelievably fast Samsung X5 500GB portable SSD has a new low price

So fast it'll blow your mind.

Samsung's X5 portable SSD in 500GB capacity is down to a new all-time low price at Amazon at $227.99. The X5 has only been on the market since September. The super-fast storage device retails for $400 but has been available for around $250 since the end of last year. Today's drop marks its lowest price ever making it the best time to pick one up.

Portable SSDs have always been appealing because hard drives, even great ones like the Seagate Backup Plus Slim, are slower and far more vulnerable thanks to all the moving parts. Solid State Drives have no moving parts. Unfortunately, they are also usually a lot more expensive. Samsung's T5 lineup of portable SSDs have been one of the most successful consumer-level portable SSDs around and they still run a lot more than your average portable hard drive.
