Crucial’s super-fast X9 portable SSD is excellent—and now it’s $60 off

Cloud storage is great and super handy, but sometimes you just gotta move a lot of files around, physically, really fast. And if you don’t want to load all your data onto a couple of million floppy disks, the Crucial X9 Pro portable SSD is a great way to do it. This little gadget gets you 2TB of storage you can put in your pocket without worry, and today it’s $120 on Amazon, a cool $60 off.

Jon Jacobi reviewed this drive for PCWorld a couple of years ago and loved it, awarding it a sterling 4.5-star rating. It’s tiny, super-fast with up to 10Gbps read times, and looks great. In fact, the only thing he had to say against it was that it wasn’t the most affordable drive in the category. With a 33 percent discount, that’s no longer the case. The 2TB version isn’t the only one on sale, either. The 1TB version of the same drive is $75.99, $15 off, and the 4TB version has dropped from $290 to $259.

That still leaves the 2TB version of the Crucial X9 Pro as the best bang-for-your-buck in terms of dollars. If you’re looking for other storage deals during Amazon Prime Day (including discounts from competing retailers), be sure to check out our roundup.
