Review: Well-built, reliable external SSD with excellent everyday performance - Well-built, reliable external SSD with excellent everyday performance. I can’t reach the maximum advertised speeds because my computer doesn’t support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, but even on standard USB ports it’s significantly faster than some external SSDs and far quicker than HDDs - I was amazed at how quickly I could move 300gb across 3 files, taking mere minutes compared to hours with HDDs. The fact that they have some drop protection and some water resistance is also very reassuring. The drive is compact, lightweight, and feels very durable, making it easy to travel with. Setup was instant (plug-and-play) on both Windows and Mac, and the 4TB capacity is ideal for large backups, media libraries, or work files. If you have compatible hardware, you’ll likely see even better performance, but it still works extremely well on older systems. A high-quality, no-nonsense SSD that does exactly what it’s designed to do. Make your purchase now while the prices are still reasonable as they are likely to double and maybe even triple over the course of the next year (like graphic cards did (due to demand and lack of supply and people mining bitcoin, lockdown gaming etc) due to the demand for ai centres and businesses making RAM prices go crazy high, and now storage prices are beginning to follow suit. Micron (owners of the Crucial brand) have announced that they are exiting the Crucial consumer market and will be focusing on supplying larger businesses, enterprise and commercial customers (again, the ai demand), and this will only mean that prices will increase - without Crucial (being one of the most popular and trusted brands for storage and memory iwht arguably the best value for money pricing) there will be less competition and less availability only driving prices higher. Don't let their exit put you off as they will continue to sell their products at retailers until February 2026 and will continue to honour warranties for their relevant periods. All in all I am very happy with my purchase of these amazing SSDs, so much so that I have just purchased my third one.
Review: Blazing Fast, Rock Solid, and Reliable – Perfect for Creative Work and Backup - I’ve been using the Crucial X10 Pro 2TB for a few weeks now and I’m seriously impressed. The advertised speeds (up to 2100MB/s read and 2000MB/s write) aren’t just marketing fluff—this drive flies. Large video files, RAW photo backups, and even full macOS Time Machine backups copy across in minutes, not hours. I’m using it with both a Mac Mini (M1) and a Windows laptop, and the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 interface has worked flawlessly with both. It comes pre-formatted in exFAT, which is handy for cross-platform use, but I reformatted it for APFS on my Mac without any issues. Build quality is excellent. It’s compact, sturdy, and has a soft-touch rubberised finish that feels nice in the hand. I’ve taken it out on shoots and it’s held up well in bags, in pockets, and even in light rain—IP55 water and dust resistance gives real peace of mind. Pros: Extremely fast read/write speeds (real-world tests were close to spec) Compact and durable design Works on both Mac and PC Feels premium and rugged Stays cool even with heavy file transfers Cons: USB-C cable is a little short (as usual!) Pricier than basic SSDs, but you’re paying for top-tier performance If you’re a photographer, videographer, or just want a fast, trustworthy backup drive, the Crucial X10 Pro is a solid investment. Highly recommended.

**Q: I am using the x6 with a usb-c to usb-a cable connected to a usb 3.1 gen 2 port, and i get read and write speeds of around 44mb/s top. is this faster?**
A: Thank you for your response!!
The USB-C cable and the USB-C-to-A adapter (adapter sold separately from the X6 package) have a molded line showing how to orient the C cable when plugging it in. The cable can be plugged in backwards, but this reduces performance to USB 2 speeds (50MB/sec max.)
