Amazon has now brought back its holiday pricing on the Crucial X9 4TB Portable Solid-State Drive at $209.99 shipped. Regularly $280, this model first landed on Amazon back in late September before it began bouncing back and forth between $220 and full price. Today’s deal marks a return to the holiday pricing to match the lowest we have tracked since release. For comparison sake, the comparable Samsung T7 Shield sells for $299 in the 4TB capacity right now. Sitting at the top end of portable SSDs in terms of capacity, today’s Crucial deal delivers 4TB of storage space alongside a PC- and Mac-compatible setup (also works with gaming consoles and mobile devices) with USB 3.2 Gen2 support and USB-C connectivity. It clocks in at 1,050MB/s and provides 7.5 feet of drop protection. Head below for more details.
An obvious lower-cost solution would be to drop down to the 1TB or 2TB models that start at just under $80 shipped right now and deliver the same specs.
