However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 2100 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 2000 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)

Fast and Ultra-Portable SSD – A Solid Choice
I’ve been using the Crucial X10 Pro 4TB USB-C External SSD for a month now, and so far, it has been flawless! The speed is impressive, making file transfers a breeze, and I love how compact and portable it is. It’s well-built, stable, and feels premium, making it an excellent value for the money. One of the biggest highlights is how lightweight yet sturdy this SSD is—perfect for travel or on-the-go storage. Performance-wise, it has been consistently fast, which is great for handling large files efficiently. The only minor drawback is compatibility with older devices. Since my iMacs don’t have USB-C, I had to purchase an adapter. However, this isn’t a dealbreaker, and I plan on upgrading to a hub soon, so it won’t be an issue. Final Verdict: If you need a reliable, high-speed, and ultra-portable SSD, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Crucial X10 Pro best external SSD!
The Crucial X10 Pro SSD is just the all-around best external SSD I have come across. With a surprisingly small form factor with lightning fast transfer speeds. And on top of that, it’s at a great price at Best Buy. What’s not to like?!

Super fast drive. Small and light.
So far this is a great external drive. Much, much faster than USB-3 drives if you can use USB-C. Have been backing up three laptops in record time. Its size is a really nice advantage. Easily fits in a shirt pocket (not that I’d do that on a regular basis). It takes up practical no room in a laptop case or backpack. Definitely recommend it.
