That's less than $25 per terabyte and almost 20% off its standard asking price. It's available in larger and smaller capacities, too, though the 5TB model offers the best bang for buck at the time of writing.
Other excellent deals include the Crucial X10, a portable SSD with high-performance data transfer speeds and a super impressive price tag this Prime Day. Down from just under $400 to a mere $220 is a huge saving. At that price, you're paying only $55 per terabyte for this super quick external SSD.
The Crucial X10 is one of the best portable SSDs we've tested in recent years, and it's impressively fast. In our review, it proved to be one of the fastest USB 3.2 2x2 drives we'd ever tested, enhancing the capabilities of older devices that might lack some of the newer Thunderbolt or USB4 technologies.
If you want to make sure your data is doubly protected, no matter where you take it, you might want to opt for a SanDisk Extreme Portable. This rugged little drive can handle a lot of data and get it on and off the drive quickly, all while protecting it in its durable shell. Better yet, it's over a third off this Prime Day, too.
If you're just looking for external storage to backup lightweight files like work documents or use a drive as a more long-term storage or backup solution, then the WD Elements is by far the best pick here. External hard drives can protect data for longer when powered down, and they're more cost-effective.
If you want to be able to move files and folders on and off your drive more readily, then the external SSDs from Crucial or SanDisk are much better options. Although both offer protective technologies, though, consider the SanDisk Extreme Portable if you want added protection. Its useful carabiner-like hook makes it easy to attach to belts and bags.
