With coursework demanding ever-larger RAW images and high-resolution video, photography students need reliable storage that keeps up with creative ambitions and busy schedules. Crucial’s X10 Pro SSD is designed with these needs in mind, providing rapid transfer speeds, rugged portability, and enough capacity to store growing portfolios.
Weighing just 42g and easily slipping into a pocket or camera bag, the Crucial X10 Pro is one of the smallest portable SSDs on the market. But don’t let its size fool you—this drive packs serious performance, with USB 3.2 Gen2x2 technology that delivers read and write speeds up to 2,100MB/s. For students, this means lightning-fast transfers when offloading thousands of photos from a camera or shuttling video files between campus computers and home.
Available in capacities from 1TB up to a generous 4TB, the Crucial X10 Pro can hold an entire semester’s worth of assignments, projects, and creative experiments. Whether storing original RAW files or finished edits, there’s space to spare for both current coursework and archived work ready for your end-of-year portfolio.
Students also benefit from the drive’s robust build quality. The X10 Pro is IP55-rated for water and dust resistance and can withstand drops up to two metres, making it ideal for working on location, in the studio, or at busy campus events. The sleek zinc alloy shell adds further durability while helping to dissipate heat during long transfer sessions.
Compatibility is never an issue, thanks to the USB-C interface and bundled USB-C to USB-A adapter, making the X10 Pro plug-and-play with Windows, Mac, and even many tablets and smartphones—a plus for students using different devices across campus labs and personal setups. Whether editing in the library, presenting in class, or sharing files with group members, the drive’s versatility ensures smooth transitions between workflows.
Simple setup, cross-platform compatibility, and five years of warranty cover round out the X10 Pro’s appeal for students. In a world where lost or corrupted files can mean missed deadlines, Crucial’s combination of speed, capacity, and ruggedness gives students peace of mind—and more time to focus on creativity and learning.
