Crucial's X9 Pro 2TB external SSD is now only $119 — fast and portable storage
Compact and super portable, Crucial's X9 Pro combines speed with a tiny form factor
If you find yourself needing some extra storage for your games, or for moving data between devices outside of a network connection, then having a portable storage solution is a nice thing to have. Smaller is better for portability, but it doesn't also have to equal less capacity. Today's deal is on a 2TB external SSD that you can connect via USB C to all manner of devices, from your games console to your mobile phone, to the usual laptops and desktop PC, or even your camera's.
Head to Amazon for today's deal and pick up the portable Crucial X9 Pro (2TB) external SSD for just $119. It's not the lowest price ever -- that was $87 back in 2023 -- but, you aren't going to see prices like that again for storage unfortunately, especially outside of the larger sales events like Prime Day or Black Friday. The MSRP list price of this drive is $179 with the Camelizer Amazon price checker showing prices steadily fluctuating between $119 and $155.
The X9 Pro measures around 2.5" and comes in a solid and rugged plastic chassis that's rated for IP55 dust and water resistance, It also advertises a resistance to drops from heights no greater than 7.5 feet, which should more than cover the average use-case scenario. Inside the chassis is a small SSD with speedy read and write speed transfer rates up to 1050MB/s over USB 3.2. The X9Pro uses a Type-C USB connection and cable.

I have one of these handy drives and use it to record video from my phone. Large 4K video files quickly soak up my phone's valuable storage so offloading it to the X9 Pro keeps my mobile speedy and makes it easier and faster to connect to my PC for video editing. The small size means I can just keep it in my pocket while I'm out and about, and always have it to hand when I need it.

Giroro "but, you aren't going to see prices like that again"Reply
Sure, storage only ever gets more expensive over time.
We've seen this for decades ever since the Commodore 64 was about to cram a 64 TerraByte SSD into an approachable $595 price tag. But nowadays that exact same drive costs over $1800. -
Shiznizzle Crucial, is ever so good at hiding the TBW numbers in their site. This is the only company now i stop looking at when it comes to all froms of SSD. Be they B and M key sata, M2, external. I dont care.Reply
I am not looking for 15 min each time to find the TBW number, which for me is the only one number i care about.
WD "Gree(d)n" M2 NVMe drives.....100TBW is all you get. It does help to find this number. If you do any work at all on that drive that involves either large file transfers or conversions then you wont even make the 6 month mark.
WD black versions, the larger ones. have 1200 to 2400 TBW. For roughly the same price as that green drive which is anything but green
