The Crucial X9 Pro portable SSD

If you don’t need (or can’t use) Gen2x2 speed, the Crucial X9 Pro is a more conventional – and more affordable – offering, with sequential speeds of up to 1050MB/s and a very compact and lightweight design.

These X9 Pro drives are also available in the same capacities as the X10 Pro, with 1TB, 2TB and 4TB models available. As for pricing, the current sale puts the Crucial X9 Pro 1TB at $79.99 USD, with the 2TB at $129.99 USD and the 4TB at $239.99 USD.

10 Gbps USB-C is extremely common, especially in the modern laptop space, and this is more than fast enough for photos. You just can’t get enough bandwidth when working with increasingly higher resolution video in various high bitrate formats, but RAW photos perform quite well from a portable 10Gbps SSD like these.
