Remember when we OWNED things? I’m not talking about houses and cars being affordable, I’m talking about a time before the tyranny of subscription fees. You didn’t pay monthly fees for the right to see a movie – you owned a disc with the movie on it and it belonged to you for your entire life. Your external hard disk (yes, the ones we used so lovingly back in the 2010s) was yours to own – it wasn’t a cloud subscription you paid to access periodically. Small monthly fees sure made things seem easier when they actually aren’t – and I think we’re beginning to realize this sooner than later. We create and consume more data now than we ever did… which is why owning your own high-storage SSD makes so much sense in 2025.
Imagine carrying your entire digital life in your pocket—movies, games, work files, and backups—all accessible at speeds so fast they make cloud storage feel ancient. That’s the promise of the Comet Thunderbolt 5 Portable SSD, a tiny but ridiculously powerful external drive that redefines storage as we know it. With transfer speeds of up to 7,000MB/s, this thing moves data at speeds so fast your gigabit internet would feel like dial-up.

To put that speed into perspective, transferring a full 4K movie with Thunderbolt 5 takes just five seconds. It takes the average human 1 minute to reach this sentence, which means you could have transferred 20 movies in this time. Compared to a standard USB 3.2 Gen2 SSD, this drive is seven times faster, which means that whether you’re editing 8K footage, rendering complex 3D models, or moving terabytes of raw photos, your workflow won’t just be smoother—it’ll feel instantaneous.
The highlight of the Comet is that it helps you reclaim ownership of your data and your storage. The tiny device is roughly the size of a stack of credit cards, but boasts storage starting at 1TB and going to 4TB, giving you enough room to store hundreds of AAA games, thousands of high-resolution photos, or an entire library of 4K movies. The 4TB model? That’s basically a Premium Google Drive subscription in your pocket, minus the fees and the agony of waiting for downloads on a half-decent internet connection. If you’re the kind of person who hoards media like a digital dragon, this drive lets you keep everything offline, secure, and instantly accessible.
The Comet SSD works seamlessly whether you’re on a Windows PC, Mac, Linux system, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or a professional editing rig. While Thunderbolt 5 enables its top-tier speeds, it also plays nice with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 4, USB4, and even older USB 3.2 standards, giving you backward compatibility so that the SSD works perfectly with all your devices.
The SSD might be tiny but it isn’t fragile. The IP65-rated chassis is resistant to water, dust, and drops from up to two meters, meaning you can toss it in a bag, drop it on the floor, or even get caught in the rain without losing your data. The fanless aluminum casing keeps it cool under load, ensuring long-term reliability even when transferring terabytes of data.
And the best part? The price. $129 gets you the 1TB model, while the top-tier 4TB version goes for $279—a fraction of what some premium SSDs cost. We used to own things – the Comet SSD brings that era back by giving you ownership of your storage… without the fees, without the cloud, and without the possibility of it being hacked/leaked or worse, monetized for ads.
