Psst! Prime Day is over, but there's still time to save $250 on our new favourite portable SSD

Amazon Prime Day is over, but there are still a couple of huge portable SSD deals around. Our most recommended pick, the 6TB Crucial X10 6TB SSD has sold out, but you can still get the 4TB version reduced by $176 from $395 to $219. We published our review of this drive just yesterday and gave it 4.5 stars.

And the half-price deal on the Samsung T9 4TB SSD has ended, but there's still 45% off, reducing it to $299. This is the drive I use myself, so it has the benefit that I know it does the job. Either way – still two great options on big portable drives!

Sadly, the 6TB version of the Crucial X10 has now sold out, but Amazon does still have a massive $176 off the 4TB version. We've updated the details below.

Although this doesn't have Crucial's 'Pro' tag, it's just as fast as the X10 Pro line, providing up to 2,100MB/s on a good laptop. That's the kind of speed I'm looking for in a great external SSD for video editing.

We only just reviewed this drive and gave it 4.5 stars, highlighting the solid, palm-sized dust and splash-proof build and the speed of transfers.

There are discounts on the 1TB and 2TB options too, but the 4TB has the biggest saving. This makes it a good chance to grab peace of mind with an SSD you know you're not going to fill... at least for a while.

UK deal on 6TB version: £379.99 £299.99 at Amazon

The big half-price Prime Day deal on Samsung's T9 has ended, but there's still a decent saving on this fast, reliable and highly portable drive.

It's only very slightly slower than the Crucial X10 (below) at 2,000MB/s, and, best of all, I know from personal experience that this is a fantastic drive that does its job reliably because the 2TB version has been my trusty companion on many trips over the past 18 months.

There are also discounts on the 1TB and 2TB versions.

UK deal: £362.79 £319 at Amazon
