The storage requirements for backing up your computer require that you have a high-capacity drive in your possession that will allow you to keep all of your data in the event of a catastrophe. The trouble is that these portable drives can be a little pricey on the wallet, but Crucial X9 goes against that trend with its incredible ‘price to performance’ ratio on Amazon. The portable SSD is currently available for $199.99 for the 4TB version, carving an affordable path for those who desperately need a pocketable solid-state drive for backup purposes.
With the included USB-C to USB-C cable, the Crucial X9 is compatible with both macOS and Windows, and its footprint is small enough to slip into the smallest openings, meaning that whipping out a unit from your jeans is not going to be a problem. This portable SSD is also targeted to those who want to transfer mammoth-sized data from one machine to another in the least time possible. While the X9 does not have the fastest transfer speeds, its 1,050MB/s bandwidth is more than enough to help shift gigabytes and gigabytes of data from one machine to another.
Also, the Crucial X9 has been designed to survive the tough external environment thanks to its 7.5-foot drop protection and IP55 dust and water resistance rating. Of course, if you value speed above everything else and want a faster solution to your problems, we recommend getting the Crucial X10 Pro, with the same 4TB capacity currently listed on Amazon for $239.99. For those wondering, this portable SSD can top out at an impressive 2,000MB/s.
