For Black Week, Amazon is offering discounts on many storage devices. We have selected some interesting models in our opinion.
To start, the Crucial X8 2TB is on offer for €98, an attractive price. It is a slightly dated model (it is more imposing than the others) but fast in reading – 1 GB/s – and capable of writing quickly in its pseudo SLC cache which has a capacity of 500 GB when the SSD is empty .
If your goal is to film in log with an iPhone 15 Pro, the Crucial X9 Pro is €118 (2TB). It also reads at 1 GB/s but writes faster and does not need a pseudo SLC cache, which leads to less fluctuating speeds. It is also significantly more compact.
Testing the Crucial X9 Pro and X10 Pro, two compact and fast external SSDs
If you prefer to choose the SSD to integrate into an external enclosure, we recommend two models. the first is a case for an M.2 SSD and works in USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) and can reach 1 GB/s. It is proposed for only €18 with two cables (USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C). The second is faster (it can reach around 3 GB/s) and connects either via Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C. It is worth €128. Please note, this is not a USB4 box, but the performance remains excellent.
For SSDs, the 2TB Crucial P3 is perfect for an external enclosure: it is only worth 80 € and is fast enough to saturate all modern external enclosures. If you need a faster model for a PC, for example, the Crucial P5 Plus (PCI-Express 4.0) is only €58 for 1 TB. For special cases, such as the Steam Deck, the Corsair MP600 Mini de 1 To is €90, a fairly low price for this very compact model. Finally, if you have a PC or external enclosure that requires an M.2 SATA SSD, the 2TB WD Blue is €100.
If you need to update old Macs or PCs that only accept SATA SSDs, the Lexar NQ100 of 240 GB is €16 only, it’s perfect for an old MacBook. We also recommend the 2TB Crucial BX500, offered for only €86. It’s not the fastest, but for a NAS or storage cold, He is perfect. If you need more capacity, the Samsung 870 EVO 4 TB is €190 and the Samsung 870 QVO 8 TB (slower) is €330.
Let’s finish with hard drives, for those who need a lot of storage. THE Seagate IronWolf 12TB is €290, which is perfect for a NAS. THE boîtier externe WD My Book de 14 To is €300 (and contains a 3.5-inch hard drive). It is USB 3.0 compatible and you may need a câble USB-C vers micro USB 3.0. Finally, if you like lights, the Seagate FireCuda 16TB is €385 instead of €435. It incorporates LEDs and a small USB hub on the front panel.
