This fast, budget-friendly 1TB portable SSD just got even cheaper

Itching for more physical storage space? A fast and reliable portable SSD like the Crucial X6 should do the trick just fine.

And now’s a great time to jump on one because the 1TB version of the Crucial X6 portable SSD is on sale for $68 at Amazon, which is a good 32 percent off its already budget-friendly $100 MSRP. That’s the best price we’ve seen in months for this thing.

The Crucial X6 is a solid pick among portable SSDs, and we even dubbed it the “best budget 10Gbps external SSD” in our roundup of best external SSDs. In fact, when we reviewed the Crucial X6, we gave it a near-perfect 4.5-star score and our Editors’ Choice award, appreciating its ergonomic design and its great performance.

“I have zero qualms recommending the X6 for the average user. Especially those who like to carry their storage around in a pocket. It’s a bargain (less so at 4TB), and fast enough for everyday use.”

The Crucial X6 has a USB-C 3.2 connection that delivers up to 800MB/s of read speed, and it’s broadly compatible with just about any other device in your arsenal, including PCs, Macs, Androids, iPads, and gaming consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One. (You might need your own USB-A 3.2 cable depending on the device, though.)

This tiny device truly is compact, weighing less than your car keys and able to slip into any pocket. And it’s also tough, with Crucial claiming that the X6 is both shock-proof and vibration-proof, able to survive drops from up to 6.5 feet without harm to the data stored on it.

Order this one fast because the 1TB Crucial X6 portable SSD is a bargain for $68 at Amazon, and this deal isn’t going to last very long.
