Crucial’s zippy X9 Pro SSD hits the Amazon Spring Sale with its lowest prices since Black Friday
A good backup plan
Someone on RPS – probably a dashing fella who can pronounce 'th' sounds just fine, thank you – reckons the Crucial X9 Pro is the best damn external SSD you can get. Good thing, then, it’s going for cheap – or at, least cheaper – in the Amazon Spring Sale.
Both Amazons UK and US have snipped down the roomy 2TB model, which will be more than enough for keeping backup installations of your game library favourites. Us lot in Greater Britland can also save a bundle on the 1TB and 4TB versions, as in all three cases, Amazon UK has the X9 Pro down to prices it’s not bowed to since Black Friday 2024. Numbers = good? Sure looks that way.
UK deals:
 | Crucial X9 Pro 1TB£72 (was £85) |
| Crucial X9 Pro 2TB£119 (was £143) |
| Crucial X9 Pro 4TB£216 (was £251) |
US deal:
| Crucial X9 Pro 2TB$120 (was $180) |
For your however-much-you-spend, you’ll be getting a nicely compact external SSD – the kind you could fit in a generously proportioned folding wallet – with both water and dust resistance, ideal for all those occasions when you end up kicking said wallet down the bank of a desert oasis. It’s also properly, properly fast, and there’s nothing more valuable than your time. I just can’t write a deals post about it.
