(Image credit: Future) The AI data center hardware crunch has already come for your RAM, and it's coming for your flash storage soon . So if you've been searching for a storage deal, this Cyber Monday might be the best time to strike for months or years.
At B&H, you can pick up the roomy and speedy 20Gbps X10 Pro 4TB Portable SSD for just $209.99 with a $60 coupon. That brings this excellent drive back down to a price we haven't seen at Amazon since December 2023, when this drive was new.
If you find yourself needing some extra storage for your games or moving data between devices outside of a network connection, a portable storage solution is a nice thing to have. Smaller is better for portability, but it doesn't have to equal less capacity. Today's deal is on a 4TB 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 cameras. And if you have the right ports on your device (USB 3.2 Gen 2 2×2), you can get up to 20Gbps speeds.
The Crucial X10 Pro 4TB dishes out up to 2,100 / 2,000 MB/s of sequential read/write throughput over the USB 3.2 2×2 interface. It also supports 256-bit AES encryption and comes with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable.
The X10 Pro measures approximately 2.5 inches and features a solid metal chassis that's rated for IP55 dust and water resistance. It also advertises a drop resistance 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 2100MB/s over USB 3.2. The X10 Pro uses a Type-C USB connection and cable.
The X10 Pro was one of the fastest portable SSD drives that we had tested at the time of our review in 2023, and we awarded it an Editor's Choice award for its top-notch 20Gbps performance, compact, solid-feeling shell, and reasonable pricing at launch. Check out our review of Crucial's X10 Pro for more information on this handy little SSD.
