That’s £250 off its UK RRP.
The Crucial X6 is a USB solid state drive that I keep recommending, as it offers dependable SATA SSD speeds in a convenient yet rugged form factor. It comes in sizes from 500GB to 4TB, and now that massive biggest size is discounted: just £225, down from a UK RRP of £475 for a cool £250 discount.
The 4TB X6 was selling for £300+ as recently as Halloween, so to see it for £225 a month later is exciting news. Looking online, it’s hard to find anything as big for as cheap - the SanDisk Extreme 4TB is£380even on Black Friday discount, while the fasterCrucial X8 is still £265despite being an Amazon EU import.
Here’s what I said about the X6 last time it was discounted (previously it was the 2TB size):
These Crucial drives are genuinely great. I use its bigger brother, the Crucial X8, here at home, where it’s been a revelation for quickly backing up files, moving downloaded videos onto the downstairs TV or simply keeping games ready to play at a moment’s notice. Note that the Crucial X6 has a different form factor than the X8 - it’s more of a squircle than the oblong X8, and caps out at around 800MB/s rather than around 1000MB/s - but both models do the same thing; the only real difference is how long you’ll be waiting for a file transfer to complete.
In any case, the X6 at this price is what I’d go for over the faster X8 - but what do you think? Let me know in the comments below, and stay tuned for more discounted tech goods on Cyber Monday as the festivedealstraganzeriod continues!
