A historic low price for a USB-connected 1050MB/s SSD.
The Crucial X8 is our favourite portable SSD, thanks to its compact protective frame, convenient USB-A or USB-C connection and excellent performance. It’s capable of transfer speeds up to 1050MB/s, minimising the time it takes to copy files to and from the drive, and offers low enough access times that you can easily run games from it too. It normally costs around £85, but today it’s dropped to a historic low price of £77 - a great value for a portable NVMe SSD offering this level of performance.

That took a dark turn. Anyway, this is a great portable SSD for the money, and my own unit has become indispensable for viewing high quality video downloads from my computer on the TV downstairs. Just copy over the file, plug it into the TV and you’re away - no faffing around with streaming, file servers or anything like that. Similarly, it’s very handy if you need to rapidly populate a computer with your favourite games - for example, if a mate comes over to have a little LAN party. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll come up with your own uses for this excellent drive, so I’ll leave it to you.
Thanks for joining me once again, and stay tuned for one more deals post before I retire to the deals cave for this week and begin my weekend slumber.
