Crucial X10 Pro (2 TB, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2)

A pro-tier 2TB portable SSD over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, rated up to 2,100 MB/s read / 2,000 MB/s write with IP55 ruggedization — fast enough for editors working directly off the drive on a Gen2x2 host. Note the host matters: on Gen2-only ports it caps near 1,050 MB/s, and for plain bulk backup the X9 / non-Pro lines cost less.
