Grab this massive 8TB X10 SSD from Crucial as it is back to lowest price with this deal

If you need high‑capacity portable storage that can move store and move large amounts of data quickly without adding littel to no bulk, Crucial’s X10 8 TB portable SSD is one great option at the moment as it is back to its lowest price again (purchase link down below).

The X10’s rated sequential read speed is up to 2100  MB/s, with sequential writes up to 2,000 MB/s. The speeds are made possible as it connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps) via a USB‑C interface, so you’ll want a host port that supports the same standard to see its full performance potential. It is backwards compatible, but you will lose half the speed or more, depending on how far back you go.

Those speed figures are roughly double the throughput of Crucial’s previous‑generation portable SSDs, and they’re enabled by Micron’s QLC NAND flash and a single‑ASIC SM2322 controller-based design that reduces internal component count. Since it has QLC, it is not recommended for regular heavy read and write workloads.

Overall this is a great drive that can be used for backups and lots of ocassional fast tranfers, though it is not recommended as something like a external gaming drive as it is QLC and thus its endurance rating is lower compared to those based on TLC.

In terms of durability, Crucial specifies drop resistance up to 7.5 feet on a carpeted floor, as well as dust and water resistance thanks to its IP65 rating.
