In External SSDs

Obviously speed is the number one advantage of this drive but a close second would be its durability. Ever drop a regular external hard drive? It's either junk now or will fail shortly after that. The USB cable is a double C cable and it comes with a USB adapter for USB A connector. The cable itself is a heavy duty thick cable but relativity short cable only 7-8 inches long. When the drive is plugged in it stays cool to the touch. When transferring files temperature will rise from 37 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, 140 degrees Fahrenheit, a bit warm to the touch. The last thing I like it is a lot smaller then other 2.5 USB drives and fits easily in your pocket .

Fast speeds, and quick setup.

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.

-It comes in a nice solid built frame that can take almost any slip/fall you can throw at it. -Ready to be use no need to format . -The read and write speeds on this device are also nice (Around 450-500 MB/s) using the USB 3 connection.

Plog to my Mac. Formatted gor TimeMachine. No problems.

- 3 Year Warranty with registering - Perfect for storing (off loading) PS5 games - Acronis True Image For Crucial - Software included - 1 month of Adobe® Acrobat Pro upon registering the Crucial X10 (if desired) - IP65 certified water/dust resistant - Drop resistant to 3 meters

I got this drive for my iphone and my pc backup. Very, very fast and easy to do.

-Over USB C, I measured 972MB/s reads and approximately 724-853MB/s write speeds depending on file sizes I tested with, which I would say is pretty good. -Provided with a USB C to A adapter -very slim and compact. Build quality seems fine.
