Crucial X6 2Tb Portable Ssd – Up To 540Mb/S – Usb 3.2 – External Solid State Drive, Usb-C - Ct2000X6Ssd9

Great Product

Purchased this to extend storage on my PS5 and it works like a charm! Some games can be played directly off the drive.

lightweight , slim and having good transfer speed .

I have been disappointed by this product. When I connect it to my laptop it keeps going on and off as if someone was disconnecting and reconnecting it again. I am gravely unhappy and I have not been able to use this product for my needs.

Please avoid buying its risky if you have valuable data saved on these.

Slow data transfer

I had two of these drives fail on me. Used it to save video files. Write speed is good but the build quality is very poor. Feels like an SD card in a plastic housing. The Sony tough SD cards are built stronger than these.Drive stopped reading and the second became non writable.Caused huge issues with work. I don’t recommend them at all.

Excellent form factor, read/write speed is good, DiskMark seq read = 740 MB/S, seq write=790 MB/S

good

I tested this using the USB 3 A-type adapter I ordered with it and got speeds in excess of 300MBps read and write, which compared to any memory device I've tested is by far the fastest USB 3 device I've tested.The reason I tested using the USB 3 adapter is that I got this to connect to my wifi router to use as a home cloud drive, which doesn't have USB C socket, and it's working superbly.It's effectively replacing my home cloud drive: originally had one of those western digital 'mycloud' devices, which has always been quite slow... then wd pulled support for the product leaving owners with a non internet facing home cloud brick as they shut down their servers... then the awful western digital device just fails constantly now, hence investing in this Crucial X6, and it has been an absolute winner in all regards. A perfect replacement.Being solid state it's quiet, fast, compact and runs fairly cool even when dumping onto it the complete backup from my original piece of rubbish (never going near WD again by the way).I've had a few Crucial devices in recent years; to name a few... five SATA SSD's to upgrade laptops, three sets of RAM for laptops, three M3 SSDs to again upgrade storage capacity of laptops... and all have been Crucial and all are still performing to the highest possible standards. Fast and reliable, and this X6 pocket sized gem is doing the same.For under a hundred quid for the 2TB device it's a winner all round in my experience, and given my experience with the Crucial brand in recent years I'm pretty certain this one is also going to be a worthwhile investment. Full marks in all regards.

Small, flat and fast. I havent tested the durability yet but i really like that it becomes so easy to carry around. Transfers are fast. I bought two : One and Two tera and so far i am very satisfied with the quality of the product.

This drive is just amazing. So tiny, but packs 4Terabytes.I did have weird behavior at the beginning though. I got it to replace my previous 2Tb disk drive, because it was almost full, so my first action was copying the large amount of files. To my surprise the speed was like 40-120kb/s which is very very slow. I assumed that it was because of they were a lot of very tiny files. After it went through the folders with the small files, it went quicker at around 100mb/s which was probably limited by my old external drive, but then settled for 30-60 mb/s. Eventually it finished copying everything, but when i tried to run programs from it or access big files on it, or copy things to it, it just felt sluggish and not very well responsive. So i decided to reformat the drive as a last resort before sending it back, this time with NTFS instead of ExFat that it came on. When that finished, the drive worked much better, copied everything again a lot faster (still limited by my old drive) and now the programs running from it work perfectly, faster than ever. Also copying things from pc to the crucial is now at over 300mb/s with a normal usb 3.0 port. I don't know if this was just a "me" problem, but I'm very happy everything worked out at the end. Can only recommend the drive.Cons: its so tiny, i hope i don't lose it :D.
