This 6TB Crucial X10 SSD Costs Less Than the 4TB Version, With Limited Stock on Amazon for 4th of July
We may run out of superlatives when it comes to describing the Crucial X10 external solid-state drive, but we should cut to the most important detail of all right away — the massive 6TB model of the #1 new release in external SSDs is nearly half-price right now at Amazon, just $292. That's even cheaper than the 4TB model of the same highly rated drive. This phenomenal pre-Prime Day deal slashes over $260 from the price of one of the best external drives on the market. The Crucial X10 is palm-sized yet remarkably tough and rated IP65 dust and water resistant. It's blazing fast — twice as fast, in fact, as its formidable predecessor, the Crucial X9 SSD3. And it's nearly universally compatible, able to work seamlessly across computer platforms and handheld platforms and even gaming consoles. See at Amazon The 6TB Crucial X10 being even cheaper than the 4TB model is already incredible, but then you have to take into account just how huge a 6 terabyte drive is. You can stuff this palm-sized drive with up to half a million 4K photos, or 2.6 million MP3 music files. It also fits 114 games, or 133 4K videos. If you're a photo or video creator, you can live comfortably with an 6TB drive — provided it's a good, reliable model. There's no worries in that regard when you buy the Crucial X10. Even above the IP65 dust and water resistance, the Crucial X10 is drop resistant up to nearly 10 feet. It's perfect for travel or working in harsh outdoor conditions, which is essential if you're using the drive to store photos or videos at a shoot site. When you're moving gigantic files back and forth from a laptop or other device to an external SSD, you need pure, blinding speed. The Crucial X10 drive has read speeds up to 2,100MB/s, which is twice as fast as the prior-model Crucial X9. And all that speed and storage works whether you're using a Windows or Mac computer, a Chromebook, an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet, a PlayStation 4 or 5 — the Crucial X10 is nearly universally compatible. Crucial's somehow managed to combine all of this speed and storage capacity into an ultra-compact body that's 1.96 x 2.55 inches and just 0.39 inches thick. Incredibly, it weighs less than 1/10th of a pound. It's also 48% off at Amazon in a pre-Prime Day bonanza of a deal that makes it available for just $292. See at Amazon
