Question

Micron CPG Support · Accepted Answer

Hello, thanks for getting in touch,

The Crucial X9 Pro 1TB External SSD features USB-C connectivity, which is compatible with many Android devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S21. However, compatibility depends on your phone’s ability to support external storage via USB-C and whether it provides sufficient power for the SSD.
To use the SSD with your S21, you may need:
- A USB-C to USB-C cable (included with the SSD)
- OTG (On-The-Go) support enabled on your phone (if required)
- A file manager app that recognizes external storage

If your phone does not detect the SSD automatically, you may need to format it to a compatible file system such as exFAT or FAT32.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, and plugged this SSD into it without any issues. You will need to do any data transfer via My Files (Samsung), including unplugging the SSD.
