• A:Answer Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your interest in Crucial products. We would like to inform you that the Crucial - X10 8TB External USB-C SSD - Blue CT8000X10SSD9 is a portable SSD with USB C cable out of the box. Regarding write speed, it can go as high as the read speed up to 2,100MB/s when installed in USB 3.2 Gen2x2, but we do not publish a number on this due to USB variations as well as changes to write speed which result from different workloads making this change greatly from user to user. https://www.crucial.com/ssd/x10/ct8000x10ssd9?srsltid=AfmBOor79K56OLNJ9op2fmJ6_Ygr6pQtgagSsYlB5sIC5_q50McqckhB Thank you for your patience and understanding.
