1. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.
2. Up to 6.5ft/2 m without impact to data on drive on a carpeted floor.
3. Compatibility may vary and may be contingent on device formatting and host capabilities.
4. MB/s speed measured as maximum sequential performance of device as measured by Crucial on a high-performance desktop computer with Crystal Disk Mark (version 6.0.2 for x64). Your performance may vary. Comparative speed claims measured as maximum sequential performance of similarly situated portable SSDs, mainstream portable HDDs and mainstream USB flash drives from vertically-integrated manufacturers selling under their own brands as of June 2019.

Bought this to use for art files on my iPad. Really surprised at how sturdy it is! I love how small it is too, makes it easy to carry and store! Highly recommend
I bought this as a back up drive for my PC. I was surprised how small it is but that made it easier to place out of the way. Cable supplied as others have said is short but wasn’t a problem. Worked perfectly ,would recommend to any prospective buyer.
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
4TB capacity is a good size for a portable SSD but it’s slow to download large files. Works fine on our TV, without stutter while watching movies but does gets warm as you might expect after extended use.
But once I set it up – which was very straightforward- all doubts vanished. It’s compact and very easy to carry around, and the storage capacity is great. What else can you ask for?
I take a lot of photos, and whilst my best jpegs are backed up online, my raw files are backed up on external drives. My experience of this tiny solid state drive was that it was easy to install and that files downloaded as if they were on my laptop. With no moving parts it’s difficult for much to go wrong with it, and I was so pleased with it that I bought another – usually I buy different drive makes to diversify storage in case there is a product issue, but this doesn’t apply here.
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.
When initially purchased, it was dog slow doing downloads. Seems to have picked up a bit now, tho. Software update?? Anyway, it isn’t joking about 4TB. Finally have everything I want in my steam games library available again. Bought it for Starfield, if truth be told. Very odd for it to require an SSD as part of the minimum spec. But we’ll see how it goes.
This little gadget is excellent
and was recommended to me. I now recommend to to everyone!
I have stored all my videos and photos and it is been working great. I like the fast speed, how small and light it is.
It’s early days since I purchase this, but It’s been reliable and convenient so far.
Couldn’t believe how small and light this SSD is and transfer speed is excellent- so much faster than a USB stick. It’s a bit plasticky so I hope it proves to be reliable and long lasting.
After a couple of standard hard drive failures, where nothing could be recovered, have decided to go with a SSD with no moving parts. I hope it works out and at the moment seems like a good idea, and I now don’t worry about a failure – never had a problem with an internal SSD. Living in hope.
I’ve always bought Crucial memory chips so when I saw this tiny thing, I bought it straight away. I am delighted that I did. Plugged it into my MacBook Pro and now I have huge storage. It really is tiny and exceedingly well made. You could, if you so wished, put 15 of them in your pocket! Absolutely brilliant!
Bought to dj with using rekordbox needed to format to master boot record on Mac to get it to work but was then fine and is blazing fast at exporting using rekordbox software
* When you write a lot of data at once, it will slow down to almost USB2 speeds. That is the cost saving deal.
* You will want a USB3 data cable. With USB2 the read performance will be greatly restricted.
I wanted SSD over HDD and this fitted the bill ….stores what I want ..not cheap but efficie
Pretty good for the 95 they ask for the 2TB version
It’s surprisingly small and light, I can put it in my jeans pocket easily.
Great product. Very small and compact, big storage capacity, very fast, totally silent and seems to be very reliable.
I’ve been using the SSD for a couple of mo this and it has been working just fine, I don’t have the best devices but it’s fast enough for me. The only thing is that I can only save and edit files while using Windows, the Mac reads it but I can’t save or edit anything in it.
It arrived in person much smaller than I anticipated, and since it’s an SSD, there are no risks to dropping it (not that I’d recommend it). I’ve been using it to carry my large, important project files on the go so I can program everywhere I go and save my progress. This SSD is a wonder. I hope the technology gets even cheaper with time!
Reading other reviews, I was aware of the device “features” – in particular that transfer rates decrease greatly with very large data transfers (over ~64GB). I presume this is due to limitations in the device’s front end cache. For my purposes this is not really an issue. Up to this limit, benchmarking shows transfer rates in line with the stated specification.
I use a USB type A port on my Matebook – so I purchased the Crucial USB C to A adapter at 10. I am not over chuffed with that as other SSD manufacturers usually provide both USB A and C cables with the device….
NOTE. There is a notch on the adapter that must be aligned with a corresponding notch on the device USB cable – or transfer rates will suffer dramatically.
My only other minor gripe is that there is no LED “activity” indicator on the SSD – so I can see if anything is happening!
Otherwise, I am reasonably chuffed.
