The worldwide NAND market is in chaos with sales not expected to go up anytime soon. This means bargains as storage vendors cut prices to drive up revenue and sales.
Be quick! Amazon Prime Day ends in a few hours. Prices will go up again after that. For those who are on the look for a new portable SSD, this is a rare opportunity to grab a once-in-a-blue moon (well almost) bargain and this is what I chose for our Prime Hub portable SSD deals 2023 page.

The 1TB version of the Silicon Power B75 rugged external SSD cost only $48.97 including free delivery. It is the cheapest 1TB portable SSD on the market but TB for TB, the 2TB and the 4TB versions are cheaper ($77.97 and $162.97 respectively).
Silicon Power is a trusted data storage brand (unlike a lot of other brands on Amazon) and has been around for more than a decade with at least a dozen of product reviews on TechRadar. I tested the previous version of the Bolt B75 almost five years ago and gave it a 3 star rating (out of 5) saying that it was expensive and big.
The 960GB version back then retailed for … $370, a near 8x price difference; the new version has a slightly higher 1TB capacity.
Other noteworthy features include a type-C connector, a LE indicator, a three-year warranty and a lightweight aluminum chassis that Silicon Power says offers both superior heat dissipation and gives it military-grade shock resistance.
Compared to some of the best portable SSDs out there, it is slow with read/write data transfer rates up to 440MBps/430MBps which puts it at the lower end of SSD performance. That’s still far faster than even the best external hard disk drives; note that while it is rugged, it is not water resistant.
