The Crucial X9 is one of the most portable SSDs I can remember, it can easily fit in your jeans or jacket pocket and not feel large or bulky, with the usb-c cable the only thing that breaks the stealth aesthetic. Totally self powered over usb-c with a TON of storage for the size at 2TB in the palm of your hands. I was getting the advertised speeds at 1020/961 MB/s read/writes which is USB 3.2 Gen2 2x1 speeds (10Gbps) max. Your speeds will vary depending on chipset and platform capabilities, this was on Z690 with a 12900K.

- 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

As title says. Great product. Runs very well and at high speed. Now, make sure you have a Type-C port and also make sure your Motherboard supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 in order to gain from the 2000 MB/S. If it only supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 or below then it will run at a max speed of 1000 MB/S which is pretty fast, still. It also doesn't specify if it comes with a cable. Yes, a Type-C cable. Not a USB cable. So like I said you need a Type-C port.

Super fast. Gets very close to the 1050MB/s as advertised. Great for gaming on the go but must be connect to USB-C. Small and light, pocket size. Many AAA games that require 100+GB installs for storage can benefit from and sometimes demand the speeds of SSDs. The Crucial X9 will meet and satisfy the demand. Nowadays gaming storage libraries easily exceed 1 terabyte or more. The 2TB on the Crucial X9 is plenty of storage for on-the-go gaming, especially Steam libraries since they are easily transferable from one computer to another.


Good transfer rate, great protective casing, easily portable. Excellent value for the money!

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





Download as expected and good looking device!

Plug n play. Backup took 15 min when my old drive took 5 hrs.

Beautiful design. Big storage space. FAST. Reliable. Easy.

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.
