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

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.

* 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.

USB C enough said. This is the fastest External Drive I own.

Very easy to install.


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.



- 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


Very nice. Was able to store my stuff and still have two thirds if space left.






I use the drive for running the Raspberry PI4 and it is faster than the micro chip. Pretty much plug and play and easy to load the OS from my main system.

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

Data transfer speeds are amazing! Especially the storage and protection solid case 👍👍👍
