Get a 128GB Samsung flash drive for just $17 before Prime Day ends

I’ve tried for years to get effective wireless file transfers set up around my house, but even in 2024, there’s no substitute for ye olde sneakernet. I love my USB flash drives, and so should you.

If you’re looking for a fast and roomy USB flash drive that’ll blow away that 2GB freebie you’ve been using since high school, you can grab this 128GB winner by Samsung for just $16.99 on Amazon right now. That’s an incredible 62 percent discount off its normal $45 price.

This is a USB-A drive with read speeds of up to 400MB/s. (Amazon reviewers are getting sequential write speeds of over 100MB/s.) While it doesn’t have a USB-C connector, I’d say that its teeny-tiny size makes up for it — it sticks out when plugged in for less than half an inch.

Samsung says this little sucker is tough, too. It’s rated for water submersion for up to 72 hours and operates at temperatures between -25 to 85 degrees Celsius (that’s -13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit). In other words, your TPS report should survive one or two cycles in the washing machine if you forget to take the thing out of your pocket.

While this discount is during the Prime Day sale, I’m seeing this price as valid even when I’m logged out of my Amazon account, so you should be able to snag it even without Prime. Get on it quickly, though, because I don’t expect the price to stick around ’til tomorrow.
