Small SSD with Solid Performance

The Crucial X9 Portable SSD is my favorite portable storage device. I had no idea it would be this small. It is a small NVME. Think of two USB-A flash drives stacked next to one another and you have a basic idea of how big this drive is. Performance has been solid; I get transfer rates near 1,050MB/S read and write. I am sold. This is an easy drive to recommend.
Unboxing: Users should know that in addition to the drive, you get a small, 9-inch USB-C to USB-C cable. If you only have USB-A ports, you will need some type of adapter. You also get a one-month trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro and links on the drive to Mylio Photo Organizer and Acronis backup software.
Experience: A lot of what I love about this drive is centered on the packaging. This thing is small and convenient. But with 2TB of storage, it can store a lot of data. I assessed the X9 on my Android devices, on my Windows 11 PCs, and on my network router. It worked well on everything.
Transfer rates are good. Transfer rates can vary from device to device, but I got close to the specs posted by Crucial. This drive hits the right balance of performance and price.
Conclusion: This is a solid drive. I really like it and it will be my portable storage of choice going forward. Highly recommended. 5/5

I have a macbook and I needed a large SSD to help transfer and house all my work. I make large graphic design files and hold many videos. This has been working great since I got it. I can even work off of the hard drive itself and it works just as fast as if it was on my computer. I would purchase again! Also it is great for travel being so small!

The Crucial - X9 2TB External USB-C SSD is a powerhouse in a very small package.
Nothing particularly fancy or breathtaking on the aesthetics with this external drive and I am a little nervous I am going to misplace it due to its diminutive size. But "small & handy" will undoubtedly be an attractive feature of this thing to a lot of people. Hopefully there will be a variety of protective sleeves that can be added to give it a little more heft and perhaps - brightly colored options as well - to make it easy to spot.
The X9 does come with a very short USB-C to USB-C, terminated cable and that is probably my only beef with it; something a little bit longer than what is provided would have been way more appealing & useful.
Apart from that, the X9 screams solid performance (see related photo) and will serve as a pocket server of important files and media content.
Dropping one star off my review for the included tiny cable. Micron should have included one that was at least 3 to 4 inches longer!
Pros:
Fast - consistently fast!
Cons:
USB-C to USB-C cable is too dang short!

I recommend this 2TB SSD external HDD to my customers all of the time. The price is right, and Crucial is one of the best SSD and Memory companies in the World. Never had one go bad. It is small and comes with USB C + USB A converter. Highly recommended for Mac, PC, Linux, and game consoles.

It's small compact and has plenty of space for all of your pictures and videos. The price point is reasonable and the speed of performance is good. It could be better if the backup app was free and integrated into the system rather than a trial basis.

I used it around 2 months now, and don't see any problem so far. It's easy to use, and the speed is as expected.
