Right now at Amazon, you can find the Crucial X9 2TB portable SSD available for its lowest price so far this year. It usually costs around $148, but today, it’s been marked down to $109 as part of an early Black Friday promotion—this puts the price at around 5 cents per GB. Overall this is a pretty good deal for a portable SSD but it’s not exactly the fastest on the market. This drive is well-suited for anyone looking for storage on the go with a budget in mind.
We haven’t had the opportunity to review the Crucial X9, but we did review the Crucial X10 Pro and really enjoyed our experience. It made its way to our list of best External SSDs as our top recommendation for portable USB 20GBps SSDs. The Crucial X9 has different speeds, supporting only 10 GBps connections.
This discount applies to the 2TB Crucial X9 portable SSD, which also comes in 1TB and 4TB capacities. Under optimal conditions, the read speed can reach up to 1050MBs. It’s compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2 interfaces, which support speeds as high as 10GBps.
| Spec | Crucial X9 2TB SSD |
|---|---|
| Size | 2TB |
| Read Speed | 1050 MBps |
| Interface | USB 3.2 Gen 2 |
| Drop Proof | 7.5 Feet |
| Warranty | 3 Year |
Because this is a portable drive, it’s designed to withstand a bit of everyday use and can handle temperature variances, it’s also vibration-proof and can handle drops of up to 7.5 feet on carpeted floors. The purchase comes with three months of Mylio Photos+, Acronic True Image, and Adobe Acrobat Pro, but you have to register the drive to get access to these, and this offer is only valid through December 31st, 2024.
