Over at Amazon, you’ll find Crucial’s 2TB X9 Pro rugged portable SSD down at $127.99 shipped. That’s straight up a $42 discount on a drive that regularly fetches $170. We saw this unit drop below $100 last year before the industry-wide price hike hit SSDs, but this is the lowest price we have tracked for this particular unit in 2024. The 1TB variant is also back to its lowest price of the year at $84.99 shipped. Head below for more details.
