Need fast portable storage? The Verbatim Pocket 1TB SSD is down to $139.99

The Verbatim Pocket 1TB SSD is built for people who want fast storage in a drive that can go anywhere, and there’s a good deal on it at Amazon right now. This ultra-compact portable SSD gives you 1TB of extra space in a body small enough to slip into a pocket or bag without taking up much room.

Verbatim rates the drive at speeds up to 1000 MB/s for both reads and writes over a USB-C connection using USB 3.2 Gen 2. That makes it a handy pick for moving large files, backing up photos and videos, accessing media, or adding more storage to your setup. It’s also made for day-to-day carry, measuring about 96.1 x 45.1 x 10 mm and weighing roughly 58 g. Verbatim also includes a keyring, a built-in cable holder, and a USB-C to USB-C cable, which adds to its travel-friendly design.

Compatibility is broad, too, with support presented for PC and Mac, and some current listings also market it for consoles and newer phones. The enclosure is described as durable and bus-powered, so it runs directly from the USB connection without a separate power adapter.

Amazon has the Verbatim Pocket 1TB SSD for $139.99, down from its $179.99 recommended retail price. That’s a 22% discount relative to the RRP, saving you $40. On top of that, the drive holds a 4.4-star rating, which should give shoppers a bit more confidence before they buy.
