The Crucial X10 Pro 4TB Portable SSD is a lightweight external drive that puts all your large image libraries, video collections, and other major file folders in one convenient place. Using a flash-based hard drive allows a large folder of video and/or images to be copied much faster than with a traditional disk-based hard drive. A single USB cable and a very thin, flat, matte-black case enable the SSD to fit easily into a travel bag and then plug into either a desktop computer or a laptop when additional space is needed.

You can find the Crucial X10 Pro 4TB Portable SSD on Amazon right now for $400. This represents a savings of $125 or a 24% discount off the normal price of $525.

Plenty of additional space for all your documents, apps, and more

With 4TB of space, you can store large numbers of high-resolution images, long video projects, games, and years’ worth of documents in one compact unit.

The Crucial X10 Pro 4TB Portable SSD has been engineered to leverage SSD technology to reduce the time spent copying files. Solid State Drive speeds far exceed those of older spinning drives, allowing you to access large projects stored on the portable SSD and eliminating the need to copy them to your local machine first. When working with video, timelines will update more quickly, large image folders will open faster, and backup jobs will complete more quickly, allowing you to focus on the next task at hand. Even if you’re mostly moving family photos and large music collections, the faster transfer times will eliminate the drudgery of cleanup sessions.

The drive’s physical design was created to withstand the rigors of tossing the drive into a bag or taking it on location without constant worry. The rugged case has been rated for protection against drops, water, and dust, and includes a tiny LED indicator that provides visual feedback on the drive’s status, so you’ll know if it’s currently in use. Additionally, the drive supports hardware encryption, providing a level of security so that casual snoopers cannot access your private folders by simply plugging the drive into another machine.

The Crucial X10 Pro 4TB Portable SSD has been designed to support a wide variety of devices, so a single portable SSD can be used with multiple machines. You can connect to Windows, Mac, tablets, Chromebooks, and supported gaming consoles via USB-C or an adaptor, making it a perfect candidate for use as a common library or backup device for multiple machines. Given the current sale price of $400 vs. the original list price of $525, the Crucial X10 Pro 4TB Portable SSD offers tremendous rugged, fast storage in a compact package at an affordable price.
