During Amazon’s October 6-7 event, Prime members can save 20% on ORICO’s M25PRO portable SSD, with select capacities reduced, amid a broader decline in SSD pricing and increased market demand for portable storage solutions.
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days has put a temporary discount on ORICO’s M25PRO portable SSD, with the 1TB model cut by 20% from $149.99 to $119.99 for Prime members, according to PC Guide. The same promotion also covers the 512GB and 256GB versions, which start at $39.99, although the 2TB and 480GB capacities remain at full price. The sale runs during Amazon’s October 6-7 event and is limited to Prime subscribers. According to PC Guide, the timing is notable because SSD pricing has been under pressure from broader demand in the storage market.
The M25PRO is positioned as a general-purpose external drive rather than a performance-focused model. PC Guide says the device offers transfer speeds of up to 460MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 1, which is well below the fastest external SSDs but still a substantial improvement over a conventional hard disk. For everyday backups, document storage and moving media files between devices, that level of speed should be adequate. ORICO’s own product information places the 1TB version among a range that also includes 512GB and 2TB capacities, and describes the drive as dust- and drop-resistant.
Connectivity is one of the drive’s main selling points. PC Guide notes that the SSD comes with a 2-in-1 cable that supports both USB-C and USB-A, which broadens compatibility with laptops, desktops, tablets and phones. ORICO says the M25PRO works with Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, while retail listings also highlight use with smartphones and tablets. That makes it a practical option for users who want a single portable drive to move between older and newer hardware without needing an adapter.
The compact size also makes the model easy to carry. PC Guide says the enclosure measures 4.92 x 3.14 x 0.51 inches, small enough to slip into a bag or jacket pocket. For students, office users and travellers, that portability may matter more than benchmark numbers, particularly if the drive is being used mainly for file transfers and mobile storage. Independent listings and retailer pages describe the M25PRO as a mid-range product: not a premium creator’s drive, but a straightforward external SSD with broad compatibility and a relatively modest entry price during the sale period. A separate seller listing places the 1TB model at $89, suggesting pricing can vary outside Amazon’s promotion.
