  • Does what I need it to
Capacity: 1TB Style: X6 USB-C Portable SSD
For occasional writes for things like backups and whatnot, this will be a good drive. It's important to understand that the write performance advertised is a buffered performance using a faster internal storage up to a limit (I think around 100GB for the 500GB model). While in use, it will reorganize things on the fly. Basically, this is designed for writes in decent sized chunks, but don't expect tons of performance if you're looking to just immediately fill up the entire drive. The silly thing is the X8 is not much more expensive. So if you really need this to perform well, spend a little extra on the X8 model. If you need to write huge amounts of data at time in a timely manner, use the X8 model. If you are using this for professional needs, definitely spend the extra money on the X8 model because when time is money, saving a bit of time is going to more than compensate for the added cost. If you're just a home user needing a bit of backup or extra storage, but performance isn't a big deal while the modest savings will be a bigger benefit, then this X6 will do everything you need. I've had a good experience with durability of Crucial products so I feel confident this will endure my usage without an issue for as long as I need it. I've used several Crucial SSDs over the years, including SATA, NVMe, and I have an X8 USB drive as well. I can't recall any of them failing, yet. It's worth noting that Crucial is a Micron brand, and Micron develops some of the leading technology in flash storage. ... show more

  • Genuine SSD portable drive
Capacity: 1TB Style: X6 USB-C Portable SSD
I really love these crucial products! I have since switched to this company from what HDD I grew up using in my computers and storage from my iPhones. Whether you’re downloading videos for offline travel, organizing family photos, collaborating with classmates, or heading off on a great adventure, this Crucial SSD is affordable right now, and ready to go wherever you do should you decide to get one of these. With speeds up to 5.6x faster than most of the old traditional HDDs, my Crucial X6 lets me load and transfer files fast and get back to my day. You might as well say goodbye to slow, fragile hard drives and lengthy load times forever when you buy yourself one of these! I have bought myself the 4TB and my wife, the 1TB one. It's all USB-C, however you can get an separate USB-A adapter to use with older USB systems too. Once you format it for your computer or laptop, it is ready to go! ... show more

  • With a 3.2 USB card, this reads and writes as advertised.
Capacity: 4TB Style: X6 USB-C Portable SSD
I used AOMEI Disk Speed Test, and with a new USB cable, connected to the single slot in the back of my 3.2 USB card, this 4TB disk read at 805MB/s and Writes at 683.32 MB/s reads with 35% of the disk used. It is faster than my 2TB SATA drives and 1TB WD Element. With my motherboard and/or an older 3.0 USB card, and an old cable, this drive was iaround 32 MB/s R/W. I strongly suggest anyone interested in this SSD to buy the latest USB 3.2 2nd gen USB card and a good cable! Been buying Crucial memory and SSDs for years, and I have never been disappointed. ... show more

  • It's just okay
Capacity: 2TB Style: X6 USB-C Portable SSD
The only thing which is a major is the write speed. It is nowhere as advertised. After the 100gb, the speed drops. As an SSD, I'm not impressed. I only got this because of yhe portability and I'm on a budget

  • Cumple su objetivo
Capacity: 500GB Style: X6 USB-C Portable SSD
Me gusta, es muy ligero y fácil de llevar. Rapido también. Lo unico es que tuve que comprar el adaptador USB por separado. Luego de eso, todo correcto.

  • a definite step up from my old external hard drive, with some issues.
Capacity: 2TB Style: X6 USB-C Portable SSD
I need more space than my machine has built-in, I had been using a 3.5 2tb external hard drive but it was noisy and required a power adapter. the crucial is tiny, cut a credit card into a square to give you a general idea of the footprint, its about as thick as an ink pen, so its not a desk hog and theres no sound. and that means obviously minimal power draw. being solid state there almost no reaction lag to opening files, which is a big plus. its not perfect, it could use a activity led, and its not the fastest external drive Ive had. it transfers at a decent rate for small files and when the buffer is exhausted it slows notably (peaks at 700mb/s but drops to 50-60). but its one of the most value priced drives out there and still an improvement over the old hard drive. ... show more

  • Only C connector, no USB A
Capacity: 2TB Style: X6 USB-C Portable SSD
It did not come with a USB A connector. That was not clear to me on the ordering page. I just ordered a C to USB A converter. I'll try to update this review when the converter arrives arrives.
