    Tiny in Size, Large in Performance

    When it comes to external SSDs, they either work well or don't. They're either large and bulky or small and easy to carry. For the Crucial X10, it strikes an outstanding balance between size and performance with an impressive 2TB storage size as well. Upon opening the box, I was immediately impressed by how small this external SSD is compared to previous drives that I have in my drawers. Smaller than the footprint of a credit card, the enclosure is made of a plastic material that feels pretty sturdy, making it lightweight. It has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance and is drop resistant up to 9.8 feet. While I have not personally tested either of these claims, and do not ever plan to, I do take some comfort in knowing that there is some amount of durability with this external drive, given that my other drives do not make such claims. Also included in the box is a nine-inch USB-C to USB-C cable. This is an appropriate cable size for the drive, and I think that USB-C is totally fine in today's world. It's 2025, so you need USB-C for the fast performance, as most devices (especially laptops) do not have older USB-A ports. When it comes to performance, the X10 works as expected when transferring nearly 400GB of multimedia files (mainly art files for graphic design) to the drive in about 12 minutes. After the initial transfer, the performance was flawless and fast. Overall, the X10 has exceeded my expectations in terms of size and performance, and I'm excited to have this as part of my essential data setup. If you are considering an external SSD to tote around or to keep at home simply, I would have no hesitation recommending this one.

    Large Capacity, Small Form Factor

    I've been using the Crucial X10 2TB for about 2 weeks now, and it's been rock solid reliable in terms of performance. I do quite a bit of video editing and was excited to see how this might perform in terms of read/write speed of 4K videos that I was editing and it hasn't disappointed. First, in terms of form factor, the X10 is definitely the smallest external hard drive that I have had the opportunity to use. It is about 3/4 the width of a credit card and about 1/2 in thick. It easily can be thrown in your pocket, a backpack, or basically anything else, it's that small. The outer case is made of a blue plastic that feels solid to the touch. It's drop resistant to 3M, but I'm not about to test that claim myself and it is water and dust resistant (IP65). The SSD comes with a short USB-C cable, which makes it easy to connect to a laptop and supports USB 3.2 2x2 which can deliver 20Gbps in transfer speeds when connected to a compatible USB port on the computer. I really appreciate the portableness of the unit. I have a couple 2-4TB portable external mechanical drives that I had been using to also backup and transfer videos between machines. I think this is a much better option, given the faster read/write speeds, compactness, and with no moving parts, will hopefully offer increased reliability. Plus Crucial is backing this with a 3 yr warranty, which is a good sign.

    Great compact SSD drive

    The Crucial X10 portable SSD is tiny. I have other small SSD drives, but nothing that compares to the size of this one. It is a 2 terabyte drive that measures two and a half inches by two inches wide and only around a quarter inch thick. If you are someone like me who uses multiple laptops and am always switching around and need to transport files between machines and not have to rely on the cloud or an internet connection, then this little baby is nice. I wanted to see how fast the transfer speeds actually were, so I downloaded a couple of my games to the drive and played them on a couple of different ASUS laptops. I really couldn’t see a difference in load times and frame rates compared to playing the games from the computer’s SSD. I am sure there was some measurable difference, but in the reality of usage, I didn’t notice any change. The drive is IP 65 dust, water, and drop resistant for up to three meters. The X10 is also compatible with windows, MAC, androiod (which I confirmed by transferring files from my galaxy fold 6 to the drive and back) with a USB type C to C connection. The drive also comes with a three year limited warranty. My drive is a 2TB version that advertises a read rate of 2100 MB/s. If you are in the market for a very compact 2TB drive with decent transfer speeds at a good price, the Crucial X10 should be on your list of possibilities. In case you need it, the drive has a getting started guide that directs you to a support page or a service page where you can download additional software and installation guides.

    Great portable SSD. The Crucial X10 2TB Portable SSD is an excellent choice for all your data storage needs, especially if you're on the go. Great for storing video files. USB-C connection means it can attach to modern Android phones and tablets, iPhone 15 and newer, most current laptops and desktops. You can also set it up as a storage device for X-box Series X with a USB-c to USB-A adapter. In my opinion this drive is better served as a portable storage solution. Software setup is easy and very user friendly. On my gaming laptop it was essentially plug and play. It's decently built, with good solid quality. I dropped mine a couple times attaching it to my Pixel phone and while the case is scuffed, it did not crack, break or split open. One drop on asphalt, once in a dirt/rocky music festival ground. Data integrity was not compromised. Data transfer is incredibly fast. Folders with 30+ Gigs of data transferred in under a minute. If my laptop had the newest USB-S protocols it would be even faster. I can imagine this being a great solution for hiking Vloggers and backpackers that need a rugged lightweight high capacity storage device for videos to free up their camera Micro SD cards.
