At just 4.8c per GB, it beats ALL SSDs – internal or external – in price per GB with PCIe Class 3 speeds (if you have a compatible device)
This matte blue external drive combines speed, durability, and a whopping 8TB of storage in a compact, travel-friendly form factor. Whether you’re editing videos on the go, backing up large files, or simply need some reliable extra space, the X10 delivers fast, reliable performance without needing to open your desktop or laptop.
With read speeds of up to 2,100 MB per second over USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, it’s fast enough to run large applications or work directly from disk.
It’s twice as fast as the Crucial X9 and outperforms many internal SATA and PCIe SSDs. This makes it an ideal choice for content creators, students, or professionals who need performance that keeps up no matter where they are.
The X10 works with Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPad Pro and major gaming consoles including PlayStation and Xbox. It connects via USB-C and includes a USB-C to C cable, with USB A support.
The portable player is IP65 rated for dust and water resistance and is drop tested up to 3 meters, or almost 10 feet. Whether you’re on the go, traveling, or throwing it in a backpack, it’s built to handle real-world use.
8TB of space is enough for over 500,000 4K images or over 500 hours of video footage, which should be enough for most people.
At the time of writing, the X10 8TB was available at a few retailers for just $384.99, making it one of the most affordable high-capacity SSDs on the market.
