Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was absolutely jaw dropped floored at how crazy fast this thing moves data i moved a 56GB 4K movie in less than 30 seconds. The thing that upset me because i cant figure out how to fix comes from my ipad when i finish something i go to delete it but it will not let me. I have to ask my roommate permission to use his laptop then plug it in and then i can delete the files. I go through a huge amount a files often so having to stop is irritating and the worst thing is that it worked fine in the beginning but not anymore. Otherwise its great it is small lightweight and has a pleasant blue color but honestly i can’t determine whats the difference between the blue one and the black one the black says pro but they have identical specs i just chose blue because it was a few bucks cheaper. Also i got this to start moving my 8tb of data from google drive to this thing because my drive account got restricted which is fine it a perk from when i was a student but that ended almost 5 yrs ago so it was just a matter of time but back to the point if you move like 1TB of data or keep it plugged in for like an hour the unit will heat up and get pretty hot. With the exception of having to delete files from a laptop i really really like this but i honestly should have gotten a bigger one for my needs. Also make sure you do your research i paid like $350 from best buy but in 2 days i found the same item for 50% cheaper. So good luck!

This ssd is much smaller than your palm and easily fits in a small zipper pocket of my bag. With 4 tb space, i can carry my entire load of pictures and videos. Speed of this drive is comparable with internal drives and can move gigabytes of data in seconds.

Excellent product! Runs really fast. As a pastor sometimes I need to make room fast on my memory card and this allows me to get moving in a timely manner.

I ordered this SSD online. The package I received was from the Best Buy Return Center. The package was crushed and it looked as though the seal had been reapplied. I'm pretty sure Best Buy sold me a returned item. As for the drive itself, it claims 2100Mbps read speed. Using a thunderbolt 4 port (USB 3.2) on my Yoga Book 9i, I achieved approx. 1750MBps read and write speeds using the included cable as well as a high speed cable of my own. That is a pretty impressive sustained speed rating. You can see in the screenshot of the speed test that it will handle almost all video editing needs. The drive is very small and portable. Fairly lightweight as well. In device properties, the drive internal manufacturer is Micron. So aside from the poor purchase experience, the drive itself gets high marks. I'll update my review if anything changes.

I’m a camera operator working in commercial production, often shooting with ARRI cameras in ARRIRAW and high-bitrate 4K ProRes. The Crucial X10 4TB SSD has quickly become one of my go-to drives for offloading and backup on set and in post. It’s ridiculously fast — dumping ARRIRAW or ProRes footage from Codex, Atomos, or Blackmagic recorders in real time without a hitch. Playback straight off the drive is smooth and instant, even with heavy 4K sequences. It’s compact, lightweight, and perfect for production work where you’re constantly moving between sets. The build feels solid, but I’d still recommend storing it in a small padded case — like a Pelican SD card wallet — just to protect it from knocks in a gear bag. After months of heavy use on agency and commercial shoots, I’ve had zero issues with speed drops, data loss, or connection hiccups. It keeps up with demanding ARRI workflows, checksum transfers, and same-day client deliveries. Bottom line: blazing fast, rock-solid, and small enough to live in your pocket or DIT kit. Easily one of the most reliable SSDs I’ve used in 15 years behind the camera.

works great... moves files fast and is very small.

Connected to my MacBook Pro Laptop. It's impressive, about 87% as fast as the MacBook Pro. That may sound strange. It is very, very close to identical to the laptop performance. A lot faster than my previous laptop. You can't extend internal storage in your Mac. If you buy a MacBook Pro Laptop, the internal expansion to 4TB is very expensive. This helps all the way around. It has a lot of storage, is about as fast as the internal drive, and is way less expensive.

Good device, it’s fast enough for what I need. Use it for full backups and it does it just fine. It is a small drive so be aware, fits in the palm of your hand.

Compact. Easy to use. Fast! What more would you want and the price is right!

This is overall a great product. It worked for what we needed and my college kids will be able to utilize this compact extra storage for school work.

I love the spedd and side of this unit its so good

Exactly what you need. Fast and reliable. I have bought multiple and will continue to buy

This product is great it does what I need it to do and its fast.

I initially left this formatted as exFAT and was using it to back up my Mac HD and it filled up the 4TB of space with 1 TB of files from the Mac. Formally as Apple’s format APFS and the size and speed savings were substantial. I will be using this drive for video and photo projects.

Very fast 3d nand, very small enclosure. Could store hundreds of movies, photos documents etc.

Small easy to carry fast data transfer and functional.

This little 4tb hard drive is fast! Don't be fooled by its size, it stores a bunch and I was impressed by how fast it actually works. I run it off a Mac-Mini 4 (needed a lot more than 512GB) and as a photographer with a bunch of photos, this hits the right spot! Highly recommend this brand and this HDD.

the Crucial drive was lighter and tinier than I thought, the anti-water feature is great so I have no worry carrying it around and even sitting outside! Great value and product!

This is my second 4TB Crucial - to serve as a Time Machine backup - to my partitioned 4 TB Crucial work drive. I moved my 1 TB Crucial to my wife’s computer to replace a 500 GB spinning drive that served as her Time Machine backup. All 3 SSDs are fast and reliable and work well on the Mac O/S.

Very fast transfer rate . I love it, would definitely recommend it for storing music files to DJ with , loads to serato fast
