Good price, fast. Used with xbox series x works great. be aware you will need a USB-C to USB-A adaptor cable rated to USB3 to do this as cable supplied is suitable for USB-C only.
It’s not often that I write a review. But when I find a product that exceeds my expectations, I’ve got to shout out!
The Crucial X6 is very tiny and lightweight. And they weren’t lying about the transfer rates, Transfer to and from the SSD are really, really fast. The fastest I’ve seen on a portable SSD. And the price was very appealing!
But it has to be said, this is lightweight, extremely portable: and formatted in exactly the right way for my needs.
Yes, this is pricey for someone in my shoes.
But it’s VERY worth while.
Looks really good and you can fit it almost anywhere, my only problem is that sometimes the transfer speeds can decrease randomly, whether its because the thing gets too hot, or because im using a different cable (which says it can handle the ssd), idk
Purchased this SSD for my new Xbox Series S and it did not work initially.
In case you plug it and the instructions provided via QR-scanned video don’t pop up, consider to format it and change it from GPT to MBR (worked this way for me).
Instructions can be found online.
Once I finished with this settings change, worked alright so far.
I am using this for temporary storage for a Android 6 media box. Write speed is 40 mbs and I am able to stream video to my tv with no buffering.
The idea was to see if I could clear my DVD shelf and have them on disk.
Worked better than expected, so I have put on hold the purchase of nivada shield box and my get a few more drives and stuck with my old android 6 media box.
Most smart TVs have USB so you can use to to store your favorite films and save your self from subscribing to 3 different streaming services .
This has a USB C type connector, so I paid extra for the adapter for my old android box.
Had an issue with my Chromebook seeing and writing to the 1tb partition, but I used my hammer to fix this (Linux laptop) , formatting the drive took 7 hours. Worked with no issues
One small point which others may wish to note was the short length of the enclosed connection cord, which also has a USC connector at both ends. Although US C is a relatively recent innovation which is growing fast, on my PC which is just over two and a half years old, this technology is not included, rather than buy the USB to USC adapter I bought a longer cable with the correct connector on each end.
I used it to back up content form and computer incase it went capput so I didn’t lose precious baby photos etc.
Read / write speeds are great and not slow by any means. The size is great as you can see in the pic I added to give you a sense of scale.
Happy with my purchase and if you’re looking between this and the sandisk, save ya money and get this.
Like many other reviewers I found the lead to be almost ridiculously short but it was just, and I do mean just, long enough for my purposes. I was very pleased to find that the time taken to copy the files across was also short.
Performed a similar task with a USB flash drive a while back. I expect some of you are laughing now and rightly so. What was I thinking? Took about an hour for every minute the task took with this little beauty. Money well spent!
The ssd does not meet up to the read/write speed claimed by Crucial. That said, it does not mean it is slow, far from it, the read write speed are just not constant.
Sometimes it breezes through huge files, other times its other personality comes out and it behaves like a hdd (speed wise).
Still faster than a HDD.
Very compact and lightweight. Super fast transfer, even with large files, videos, photos etc.
Its small size means it fits easily into my small camera bag when I need to take it with me, great transfer speeds and very good value for money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
Replacement to faulty portable drive.
Very easy to set up.
Speeds good so far.
Used to store back up files, photos etc.
The negative: It seems the drive has 64 GB fast storage and the rest is slower. So restoring a 400GB backup went fast for a long time then went down to about 80MB/sec. In normal operation this will very rarely be noticeable. Stop copying and it goes back to the old fast speed for a while.
And the absolute positive: The price. This drive with 2TB is about the same as others with 1TB. So overall 5 stars for having twice the capacity as other drives for the same price, and slowing down after a while for a huge copy operation.
