Crucial - X6 SE 1TB External USB-C/USB-A Portable SSD - Black
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. 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: 800 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 800 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Interface(s): USB-A (USB 3.2 Gen2) (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Would this be ok for transferring/storing photos & videos from a older iMac 2009 Thanks
A: My apologies: your 2009 iMac does NOT have a Thunderbolt port. So, my prior recommendation that all you need is Apple's Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter won't help here. Your 2009 iMac has just Firewire 800 in addition to USB 2.0. Firewire 800 is also slow, albeit a bit better than USB 2.0. Still, to connect Firewire 800 to this portable SSD's USB-C connection is an even more complicated proposition, requiring an Apple Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 1 or 2 adapter, then from the Thunderbolt 1 or 2 adapter to Thunderbolt 3 (which is compatible with USB-C). The retail price on that first adapter is $29, then $49 for the second adapter. And Firewire 800 is still slow. Here is what I would do: - if you bought a new Mac and it has an ethernet port, see if you can use Migration Assistant to pass the data between the two Macs via ethernet. - if you cannot use Migration Assistant, buy this portable SSD and use the USB adapter that comes with it to try passing your photos and videos via your old iMac's USB 2.0 port. It might or might not get you there in a reasonable amount of time, depending on how many gigabytes of files you need to move.
