-This SSD is very small & easy to bring with you / throw in a bag - Extremely fast read & write speeds - These days with manufactures skimping on everything its nice Samsung includes multiple cables with this SSD

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

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

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 fast to transfer files and work from. No issues so far! It's tiny too.

An interesting package addressed to me appears at my door once or twice a month. I have no idea what is in the package until I open it and fortunately then I remember ordering the item. Something different happened to me a few days ago. I cut open a mystery padded envelope and found a wee SanDisk portable SSD. I was further delighted when I noticed the drive had a massive one Terabyte capacity. It was less than half the size and a fraction of the weight of a mechanical external USB drive thanks to its M.2 SSD. Cool, I thought; I guessed I might have ordered this late at night and forgotten about it. I soon realized my mystery package was a SanDisk SSD External drive I had volunteered to test for Newegg. YES! I plugged the SSD into my tower using the provided USB-C (external drive end) to the USB Type-A (backward compatible to any standard USB port.) It was instantly recognized. I copied a 2 Gb file from my tower internal SSD to the SanDisk portable SSD external drive, to test the real-world speed of the drive. Compared to the advertised up to 500 MB per second it transferred data at about 120 MB per second, which was about 3X faster than copying the same data to my older external mechanical Samsung external drive. This was a little slower than I anticipated since SSDs generally run from 4 to 10 times faster than a mechanical drive. I should note that my towers USB is the older 3.1 version, which Im sure was a factor. I suspect my disappointment with the speed of data transferred is the result of USB C to USB A cable. Since I do not have a newer USB C to USB C cable, I could not test that transfer speed. The Vault (see the photos) The Samsung external SSD M.2 drive comes with an ingenious encryption scheme they call PrivateAccess with the encrypting software installed on the drive itself. This software will ONLY run off the external drive, further increasing the security of the device. Transferring data to the external drive is a drag and drop procedure, using the drives built-in encryption software. There is no back door into the vault; as you would expect, if you forget your password. The data in the vault is gone forever.

Great speeds for transferring large files Compact design

Easy set up, worked right off the bat, bought as a faster network storage for my router so it is easier to copy files from one computer to another on the same network. Small, light weight, usb C and normal usb adapter. For most uses, like PC's it'll just self configure and be ready for use when you plug it in, giving you a choice to add i'm assuming encryption sw for the device like other USB thumbdrives, for mac or windows.

Great form factor, incredibly easy to install (just push it in like a USB stick), more actual storage space than the XSX hard drive (902GB usable vs. 802GB on the internal), doesn't suffer from intermittent connection issues like external hard drives/ssd's
