Small, compact with large capacity
Great deal on Black Friday sale. The Crucial X10 8TB SSD drive is smaller than I thought but with large capacity. It's 7.2TB rather than 8TB, which is expected. I was skeptical at first as its price was much lower compared to other brands (Samsung and SanDisk), I copied some movies and games into the SSD drive, and it really held up to 7.2TB, but the writing speed dropped significantly when it passed half of its full capacity (around 4TB).

worx great, high ticket item though
I have tons of videos and had them stored on 7200RPM ext disc drive. was running out of room and those 7200s are becoming hard to come by. (outdated technology being replaced by solid state) this device is smaller than a credit card so much more compact and much faster. wish I didn't have to spend as much as I did to get it but now that I got it it's great. super fast transfers and and upgrade in storage capacity for me. Watching the videos is a breeze now
