We just spotted a deal at Best Buy that drops Crucial’s X9 Pro 1TB external SSD down to $69.99 shipped. That’s a $42 discount on a drive that has fetched as much as $112 in recent months at Amazon where it is currently going for $96. Today’s deal marks the return of the lowest price we have tracked for it this year. The 2TB variant of this model is also down at $120, which also matches the best price we tracked for it earlier this year in January. Head below for more details.
