BEST SELLERS

In External SSDs

I was able to immediately unpack and insert into xbox series x. The 2 tb or 1.8tb to be exact was immediately recognized.

- Very snappy - Compact package and design - Pre-formated with only 4 links to Crucial sites and no bloatware

Decent amount of space. Couldnt beat getting it at a discounted price. This is my second one.

- Easy to use - Fast - Very small (does not need a dangling cable)

Works exactly as described, fast, rugged and trouble free {no, I do work for this company}.

Portable, simple setup, useful dual connector design

Arrived formatted exFat, GPT from Crucial. A few preinstalled offers included links to, Acronis backup software, Mylio Photo Organizer and the Crucial support webpage. The first thing I did was use software to repartition the drive then format to NTFS. I will mention after running synthetic benchmarks formatted NTFS then reformatted back to exFat produced little difference in benchmarks speed-wise. I used Crystal DiskMark9 to check speed. I have a Thunderbolt PCIE card installed and anticipated a jump in Read/Write speeds when using the Thunderbolt option. To my surprise, there was little difference in speed from the USB-C than when tested while connected to the Thunderbolt adapter. When connected with USB-C Read/Write bench speeds of 1041/1005 MB/s were reached. Testing speed connected to the PCIE Thunderbolt adapted showed R/W 1043/1023 MB/s. The synthetic speed tests were well below the advertised 2100 MB/s. I wasnt disappointed with the speeds, but I did expect my tests to be closer to the advertised speeds. And Im not sure why my unit didnt test closer to the 2100 MB/s. The advertised speeds could have been reached using a different software, not sure why my results showed lower R/W speeds. I happened to have a portable 1GB hard drive from around the 2004 era. The speeds hardly compare to the Crucial X10, but its amusing to see the difference in the size of the units (see picture). This Crucial X10 is nothing short of extraordinarily fast for a portable USB drive. I will definitely be using this drive next time I copy my music and music video files. Large enough to copy my main PCs entire storage drive. The cutting-edge speeds will be a real time-saver.

This product does work as advertised but I needed to buy a Thunderbolt 4 cable and plug it into the only USB-C Gen 4 2x2 port on my PC. On the front USB-C port is a Gen 3 port, I "only" get 1000MB/s read instead.

The ScanDisk ssd is perfect and everything I wanted. It came with a cord, the drive, and maintenance instructions. As I said perfect. Thanks!

The Crucial X9 is surprisingly small, measuring 0.3 by 2.6 by 2 inches (HWD) and weighing a mere 1.5 ounces. The X9 features a minimalist black plastic case adorned with the Crucial logo. It offers good value for money, especially considering its large 2TB capacity (and it also comes in a 4TB variant). Additionally, its 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption adds an extra layer of security. The X9 includes a USB-C port, and a cable with USB-C connectors at both ends is included. fast at 1.35 Gb/s

So I got the drive, hooked it up to my Thunderbolt on my motherboard, and I transferred some files to my C drive, and I got a two-gig transfer speed. The Reading speed is great

Plug-n-play, no separate power brick required. Very fast with USB-C port. Amazingly compact for a drive of 4 TB size. Well made and good looking case design. Packaging is very sturdy.

Plug n play. Backup took 15 min when my old drive took 5 hrs.

This was less expensive than lesser models, from Samsung Small, fast, trusted brand & inexpensive.

Better than those old portable hard drive

Fast enough for large file transfers, premium feel, compact. Come with a magnetic ring to support older generation phones.

Its personally fast for me when I transfer, import and export. I mainly use it to edit videos on my Macbook Pro with the M1 chip. So far so good, not the fastest in terms of export but it will do.

I got a great deal on this because it was on sale. I needed big portable storage. I had another 2TB thumb drive, but when my laptop fell it nearly broke off the plug. I'd been using an extender with multiple sockets to avoid that, but this was way better. The yellow loop comes off, and then one end goes in the drive and the other in the USB-C port. Connections are firm. It feels extremely durable--metal casing and no projecting or moving parts to break or wear out. I feel like I could drive over it and it would still be OK. I can't speak technically about speed, but it's plenty fast for me. The little light at the end is always flashing colors while it's plugged in!
