seems like a good deal, crucial is a great brand. I'm really hoping for SSD's to start coming down in price, tariffs notwithstanding… I feel like the sweet spot for personal storage has been around 2 TB for the last decade, it's just transitioned from HDD to SSD. With all kinds of digital media and games, I look forward to the day where we can afford 10+ TB SSD's.

This seems like a must buy honestly....

It's literally $100 more at best buy right now.

I had them price match it because I had some gift cards to use up.

4TB X10 Pro also on sale for $239. Claims faster I/O assuming you have a gen 3.2 2x2 port that supports it:

I own a Samsung T7 (basically the equivalent specs of the Crucial T9 Pro) 2TB and have a Crucial X10 Pro 4TB as well.

In real world usage, for a best case scenario like a large single file coming from a PCIe 4.0 NVME drive, I've found gen 3.2 vs gen 3.2 2x2 (I think I have my standards correct here) external SSDs interfaces performances are 1050MB/sec sustained (the drive's interface to the USB port is the bottleneck for the Samsung T7) write vs about 1700MB/sec sustained write for the Crucial X10 Pro (the drive itself is the bottleneck). For all other interfaces and for transferring lots of smaller files, both drives are bottlenecked by the random read speed of the other device (e.g. a full backup of my games install NVME drive that has over half a million files, reads from the device at around 800MB/sec). For me, I do occasionally transfer 2 single files totaling around 3TB directly from a PCIe 4.0 NVME drive, so the time and electricity savings were worth the small premium to me to go with the Crucial X10 Pro over this drive.

TLDR: Unless your use case is writing a single, large file from a PCIe 4.0 NVME drive, you'll likely not notice a difference in performance between this drive and a faster gen 3.2 2x2 drive. Also, the Crucial X9 Pro uses TLC NAND, so it should perform better and last longer than a lot of cheaper drives on the market in general.

I think one of the real world use case for the faster drive is video editing on external storage. I saw a complaint about their specific model of 3.2 Gen 2 drive being too slow which made video scrubbing stuttery on an M4 Mac. 3.2 Gen 2x2 drives should provide faster speeds for that use case.

I got it matched at Newegg(albeit had to argue), but they sent it as a $51 store credit. I had credit already so that's why I wanted to use Newegg in the first place lol.. Back to having to buy another item now with the new credit.

According to the triple ship of the desert, Amazon has been offering the X9 Pro 4 TB at this price for the vast majority of the year. But given how prices are probably going up, might as well jump on this B&H deal.

Or capturing, for instance, 4k Prores/10 bit video, assuming you have a capable USB-C interface. I capture a lot of video at events and having the capacity of an SSD to store it + the ability to simply plug it into my laptop for editing is fantastic.
I'd go for the X10 Pro if I you have a good application for it as bandwidth requirements only tend to go up.
