Crucial X9 Pro 2TB Portable SSD, Up to 1050MB/s Read & Write, 3.2 USB-C, External Solid State Drive, Durable Storage for PC & Mac, for Content Creators & Videogaphers, Silver - ‎CT2000X9PROSSD902

Generally a good product that meets specifications and expectations.I purchased 2 x 4TB drives and 1 failed before I could use it: the drive appeared on my laptop but could not be accessed.Crucial replaced the SSD drive at no cost, although the process took 2 months.The other drive works great and I use it for high bandwidth data acquisition while imaging the sun.I could not ask for better: slim, light, fast, sturdy.A great product.

Crucial is a well known brand and I’ve never had any issues with their memory products. This one has been reliable storing and transferring 4K videos and gets expected speeds. Nice and compact size and generally very good for the price.

The Crucial X9 is extremely fast when compared to standard, low cost USB sticks. It’s well made, small and lightweight.

I was impressed by its small size, light weight and non-slip material on the back which makes it perfect for travel without taking up too much space. I use it for backups, it's quite handy with a fast read/write speed, it doesn't get hot and is easy to use. Solidly built it has holes to fit a cord so you don't lose it due to its small size. Highly recommended!

First of all, what I like about this SSD:- The size is great. It's super small and easily fits in my pockets. It can even fit into my wallet if needed.- The terabyte of space is more than enough for me. It's pretty easy to make folders and organize my files. From pictures and videos.- There aren't any slowdowns or choppyness. All the videos and images I put on uploaded almost instantly and kept the original definition.- The SSD seems very well constructed. I'm always leaning on the side of caution so it would be rare that it would ever be in a position where it could be damaged in the first place, but the metal build is very nice.A few negatives about the SSD include:- There is no password protection like advertised. I'm also not sure if it includes the encryption.- The program does not interface well with my on device gallery. To open files I have to use a file manager and select images one by one. Definitely something to keep in mind if you are using this as a gallery backup for something like photography.- The included cable is nice, but it is somewhat of a hassle to use everytime I want to use the SSD. I wish there was an included case to hold everything together to things have no chance of getting lost.I still think that this is a great SSD and will continue to use it. There are just somethings that aren't said in the advertising that should be taken into consideration before buying it

I really like this...very very small. And, much faster than my old spinning drive.

If I could give this little device 6 stars, I would.It floored me. The download speeds are blazingly fast. I have no way to measure them, but comparing it to a Samsung T7 and the SanDisk Extreme, although all advertised at at 1000 Mb/sec, this little thing downloads an order of magnitude faster.I am using a MacBook Pro and this is the specially Mac formatted Crucial SSD version. The SanDisk was unreliable, would mount sometimes, not other times, and was of the slowest speeds. The Samsung is very reliable, slightly faster than SanDisk, but still of much slower speeds than this device. This device is far smaller than either, although all had the same 2 Tb capacity. This device has a footprint smaller than a credit card in both height and width (obviously not thickness). You could easily slide this into your pocket and not even feel it - smaller and less bulky than a car key.The front appears to be aluminum, the back rubberized so it stays put. This is an important feature given its small size and weight to not accidentally lose it.It comes with an indicator light - hard to see on the product images but hidden inside the lanyard mounting hole. This may sound silly but is important to me. Samsung has one, the SanDisk Extreme has not. That being the device that would not mount reliably, you never know what is going on without an indicator, I.e. is it still trying to mount or is it dead?No issue here with the Crucial device.All devices are advertised to be shock, dust and moisture resistant. Obviously I am not about to test either.Overall the Crucial X9 is the best SSD I have seen, especially for Macs, although they offer a generic not Mac specifically formatted version as well.Highly recommended. Well done!

1TB capacity X9 Pro model: A good performer in a very small package. Not as fast as my 1TB Samsung T7 external USB SSD, but I got the X9 on sale for $70, so I'm quite satisfied. I wish it came with a USB C to USB A cable (instead of a USB C to USB C cable). I really appreciate that the Acronis True Image for Crucial software is a free download. I used the software to clone my old mechanical USB hard drive to the X9 SSD quickly and easily. 5 year warranty is a plus.
