For those seeking ample portable storage with blazing-fast transfer speeds, Amazon’s current deal on the 500GB Crucial X6 portable drive is a steal at just $49.99. Praised for its pocket-friendly design and reliable performance, this SATA drive offers transfer speeds of up to 375 megabytes per second, allowing you to copy a 50-gigabyte file in approximately eleven minutes. While it may struggle with large file transfers filling up its temporary cache, it remains the top-rated budget recommendation in our external drives guide.
Previously priced at $70, the Crucial X6 now comes with a significant discount, making it an irresistible offer—especially for Amazon Prime Visa cardholders who can enjoy an extra ten percent off. And for those in need of even more storage, Amazon also offers the 1TB version of the drive at $74.89, a $25 discount off the original price. While the discounts are less pronounced for the 2TB and 4TB versions, they still offer noteworthy savings for those craving ample portable storage.
