Fast and Ultra-Portable SSD – A Solid Choice

I’ve been using the Crucial X10 Pro 4TB USB-C External SSD for a month now, and so far, it has been flawless! The speed is impressive, making file transfers a breeze, and I love how compact and portable it is. It’s well-built, stable, and feels premium, making it an excellent value for the money.
One of the biggest highlights is how lightweight yet sturdy this SSD is—perfect for travel or on-the-go storage. Performance-wise, it has been consistently fast, which is great for handling large files efficiently.
The only minor drawback is compatibility with older devices. Since my iMacs don’t have USB-C, I had to purchase an adapter. However, this isn’t a dealbreaker, and I plan on upgrading to a hub soon, so it won’t be an issue.
Final Verdict: If you need a reliable, high-speed, and ultra-portable SSD, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

The Crucial X10 Pro SSD is just the all-around best external SSD I have come across. With a surprisingly small form factor with lightning fast transfer speeds.
And on top of that, it’s at a great price at Best Buy. What’s not to like?!

So far this is a great external drive. Much, much faster than USB-3 drives if you can use USB-C. Have been backing up three laptops in record time. Its size is a really nice advantage. Easily fits in a shirt pocket (not that I’d do that on a regular basis). It takes up practical no room in a laptop case or backpack. Definitely recommend it.

Excellent. About 20% of the size of the mechanical external hard drive it replaced. Blazingly fast; especially compared to the drive it replaced.

Excellent purchase fastest External SSD in the mar

Definitely the fastest SSD I've seen so far.
Although I suspect a unique form of caching data that gives it sustainable speed i've noticed some pitfalls in the product.
Directory structures are slow to load, I suspect that is because of Windows 11 environment possibly, And the actual speed drops fast when proper cabling used And when the product Goes through good 6 to 8 months of heavy use.
Despite this issues and Strange outages also I suspect under Windows 11, The driver covers quickly and not a single item of data has been lost.
The average speed when purchase new was well to the 1800 megabits per second Read and 1200 megabits per second. This number at its worst gets to 500 megabits per Second, right but fluctuates to up to seven or eight 100 megabits per second, right? And read speed bounces between 6 Megabits per second to 1.2 gigabyte a second Speed,
These numbers easily exceed many of their competitors, However, the cost makes this product an exceptional purchase and I've already purchased several as gifts Who helped me in my time of need since they are reliable. And that is the most important feature of any External storage device.
Their size is self explanatory, USB-c Connector therefore gives it a great range of flexibility hooked up to raw camera file producing device I can take several HD Pictures without losing data or speed.
And it's basically 3 / 4 Size of a credit card, Thus far, an excellent purchase

I have absolutely no issues with the device itself its more with best buy. I bought this on “sale” at my local best buy and thought i got a relatively decent price. However, i went on ebay and apparently best buy has their own ebay store with all of the same products but frequently not always they sell the same items but at much lower prices. In this case the item was selling for $70 less and best buy has their price match guarantee so i went to get the price adjusted but they refused to honor it because it is apparently a separate entity. How that excludes it from the price match i can’t begin to guess but i felt so misled and deceived by best buy that i just said forget and i returned the item. The item itself is great and is more than capable it meets and sometimes even exceeds the transfer speeds advertised and it has more than enough space to store anything you have and you probably wont fill it up for several years unless you are using it to store UHD videos and audio files. The build quality was just ok im not sure how much of a beating it could take and survive but that didnt matter much too me as i wasnt planning on dropping it off a building or backing over it with a car. So that said the item itself really has no issues with it you just need to be careful about where you buy it from and how much you spend because if you look around chances are you might be able to find it for less elsewhere.

It’s very fast and has a small form factor similar to a credit card’s length and width.
I’ve dropped it about 4 ft onto concrete already and it’s doing great still!
Just make sure the cable you are using is usb3.0-SS to get the fast speeds.

It's the smallest 4tb I have found and works small files pretty quickly until it gets hot which is at about the 300gb mark on a large transfer... solid construction

I now have 2 of these 4Tb external SSD and absolutely love them. File transfer speeds between my laptop to the drive are 550-650Mb/s which is awesome! So, so much faster than my old 2Tb and 4Tb 7200rpm HDD that would barely manage 100Mb/s. I knew there'd be an uplift in transfer speed but not 5-6x more. Size wise, they are small and light. very easily fit in your pocket if needed so are extremely portable. If you catch them on sale go for it as you won't regret it.

I can’t believe how small and fast it is. Does what it’s supposed to do but faster.
