For read speed speed and cost per Gb, this 6Tb one is a better deal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3368QFL

6 TB likely has a QLC drive and this 4 TB Pro has a TLC drive inside. Crucial doesn't specify the drive inside the X10 (non-Pro), but they do specify for x9 Pro drive. And the higher speed is only for PCs equipped with USB 3.2 gen 2x2 ports and not for regular 3.2 ports and that speed is not supported on ANY of the Macs.

I've found that if a return or exchange is needed, Amazon has a 30-day period without a restocking fee, while Best Buy has a 15-day period with a restocking fee.

Well then you didn't get the full story. So why did you bother us to comment!?
Because "Speed doesn't matter *to you* for backup." There are plenty of use cases where it does matter. The "full story" (i.e., rest of the sentence) doesn't restore credibility.

The Crucial X9 Pro is more than adequate for the average to advanced user.

Speed is dependent, a little key I pointed out that some chose to ignore!

I ended up buying both x10 8TB and X9 pro 4TB, knowing they have the same speed for me as like most people, I don't have Gen 3.2 2x2. Pro has 5 year warranty and TLC, and non pro only has 3 year warranty and most likely QLC. It's easier to buy and harder to figure out the usage. My 4TB pro will be used as a file backup (personal data) and my 8tb will be used as my mobile media server (non personal data)

Yes but you can't run Series X optimized games from it.

If you have an Amazon card you might also get 10% cashback instead of the usual 5%
How would someone sign up/check to see if they can get 10% cash back on the Amazon card?

it has the promotion listed on the product page just below the price. note the promotion on the product page says 10% back for prime visa cardholders but when i clicked "more details" it says the prime store card is eligible as well. this makes the net cost below $180.

My worry is that it doesn't appear in the search of the eligible products section.

I am looking to backup media to an external drive. Longevity is important to me, and I can put the SSD into an external metal enclosure for better heat dissipation if that would be better. Is TLC or QLC better for this? I want 8tb.

If you don't care about speed a hard drive is better for longevity. I use HDs for backup since I can just leave it backing up in the background.

HDD speed is indeed fine for me (even 5400 rpm 2.5" drives), but I also want some external drives that are more robust towards bumps, and can be moved around while plugged in. Hence SSDs.
