A: Hello, thanks for getting in touch, The Crucial X10 Pro 2TB itself doesn't determine how files are backed up—it depends on the backup software you use. Many backup programs offer options for incremental backups (only backing up files that have changed since the last backup) or full backups (backing up everything). For Mac, I suggest using Apple's built-in Time Machine. It's a user-friendly and reliable backup solution that automatically creates incremental backups of your files. For Windows, File History or Automatic backup and restore is a great built-in option for regular incremental backups of personal files. For more advanced features, Crucial offers software like Acronis True Image which will help you with backups.

Tiny Drive, Big Results!
This is the second Crucial X10 2TB external SSD drive that I have purchased from Best Buy. So, you can assume I think it’s a great product, and I do. I bought it for its size, weight, sturdy construction, read/write speeds (it’s one of the fastest on the market) and it does not disappoint. The first one I use to store photos. But, the second one really shows where this drive shines in an unexpected way. I configured it as a bootable external drive for my late 2012 Mac Mini. I custom ordered the Mac Mini to be “future proof” and it’s pretty close. It has 16gb of RAM, Quad Core 2.33ghz i7 processors, and the original drive was a 1TB Fusion Drive. It worked great until recently when the drive started failing. So I did some quick research (internal vs external SSD) and figured out the for the drive size, price, and access speeds, and read/write speeds, the Crucial X10 was the best bang for your buck! And, trrhe fact that I can run my Mac Mini off of something that fits on a keychain is astounding.
