Exactly as described caned in early and easy to use

All good! Small, easy to use and great price!

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


Portable, simple setup, useful dual connector design

Goes fast when pluggued at the right place. To acheive high speed you need a USB 3.2 gen 2x2. See the image. Solid case. Well ! for lights lovers , there is a dance of colors.

Great high performance SSD at a fantastic price. Increased the size of my laptop hard drive by 4X! Great for gaming. I can have all my favorite games resident on my hard drive now.

I've never been disappopinted by a SanDisk product. It is a Cmas present to my son. I copied a bunch of family photos and videos to it and there is still plenty of room for him to backup his laptop.

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

* Very small, smaller than even most other portable drives. I have two other external SSD's that are still slightly larger than the Crucial X9, and my portable HDD's are not only much larger, but also weigh significantly more. If your goal is to carry the drive around with you, the X9 is a great choice. * USB-C for fastest speeds. I don't believe previous generations of USB can reach 1 GB/s, so the newer interface is necessary to max out the drive. Running on USB-3 will certainly hinder performance. * Cool temperatures. Modern SSD's have a tendency to run hot, with many of them actually throttling bandwidth to manage heat. The Crucial X9 idled around 35C on my setup, and peaked at 50C during testing. Most SSD's have a maximum temperature in the 70-80C range, so there's plenty of headroom. I suspect there might be some kind of small heatsink inside the drive keeping it cool. * Blazing fast. The Crucial X9 achieved the highest sequential speeds I've ever seen on an external drive, rivaling many internal NVMe drives. I was able to copy large files at the full 1 GB/s bandwidth with no throttling so it seems Crucial has equipped the drive to sustain its maximum speeds at all times. My full bandwidth result is attached as an image.

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

Very easy to install. Nice and fast, also.

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

Plug and play, copies over pix quickly. Was recognized by my iphone and did move a pix over.


- FAST - one of the best in the industry for consumers

Use item to backup and use when on the go for video editing. Awesome. Meets all my need. Read and write speed is not an issue as some people make it out to be.

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!
