You’re never going to fall in love with an SSD in the same way as you would an electric guitar or synthesizer, but if you’re a music maker in 2020, having a fast drive with plenty of space is just as important as having a sexy instrument in or under your hands.
Which brings us to Crucial’s MX500 SATA 2.5-inch internal drives, which Amazon is currently discounting in both the US and UK as part of its Prime Day wheeze.
Prime members can save 20% on the 1TB version of the drive in both the UK and US, while UK residents can make an even bigger saving by going for the mighty 2TB model. Here are the details and the all-important links…
