Q: QuestionHi, may I know the difference between CRUCIAL X6 SE and CRUCIAL X6?(2 answers)
A: AnswerHello Numn, Thank you for your interest in Crucial products. The main difference between the CRUCIAL X6 SE and the CRUCIAL X6 is that the CRUCIAL X6 SE comes with a USB C to USB-A adapter included in the box, which allows you to connect the portable SSD to any device with a USB-A port. The CTUSBCFUSBAMAD is the model number of the adapter. The CRUCIAL X6 does not include this adapter, so you would need to purchase it separately if you want to use it with a USB-A device. Both models have the same performance, capacity, durability and warranty.

Q: QuestionWould this be ok for transferring/storing photos & videos from a older iMac 2009 Thanks(3 answers)
A: AnswerMy 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.Answered by Tony
- A: AnswerHello, thanks for getting in touch, Your drive shows up smaller than advertised because storage drive capacity is calculated and reported slightly differently than other capacities in computing. If you look at the specifications of any storage device, you will see a note that says something along the lines of ”1 GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual usable capacity may vary.” In other words, the drive capacity is reported on the assumption that 1GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes 1 thousand billion bytes. A GB by another way of accounting is 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1073741824 bytes. So the drive will have by this calculation 931 GB available.

Works with Series S for Xbox One storage
After getting a Series S recently and Gamepass I have been enjoying access to many games, but not enjoying the limited capacity of the console. After looking into various options I landed on this one. It is a travel SSD drive and so can fit in the palm of your hand. It works with Series S for storage of Xbox-One / X360 / Xbox games. This took a bit of trial and error to get set up, as the cord and adapter to connect to the console need to be oriented a particular way and this is not at all obvious. Basically, there are two dots that need to be face up, see the photo where they show up as light spots on the cord near the top/center of the pic. It also is not the best for Series S / X optimized games as they cannot be played on it. However, despite those limitations I do feel like this purchase made my Series S setup much, much better and am quite happy with the performance so far.

Looking Like a Wow..!!!!!!
I purchased it for my MacBook M2 Chip Pro and I spent about $55 on this item around black Friday deals and I'm still shocked at how fast this little drives are. 1TB for $55 faster and more reliable than old internals as long as you are using a USB 3.2 port Wow this SSD is extremely small and compact. Reads/writes extremely fast and is perfect for in any laptop bag.
