    I formatted the drive to APFS right away, copied 900GB of files to it via Carbon Copy Cloner, spent the rest of the day using it. 3 days later I plugged the drive in again and it wouldn't mount or show in Finder. I tried different cables, USB ports, and computers with the same results. Thank goodness I had other backups of those 900GB.

    Forget about the security features.

    I got this SSD to do secure backups on my laptop. I got it because the specs said it provided password protection and encryption. However, after getting the drive, I find this protection must be accessed via Microsoft's Bitlocker program which is only available on Windows 11 PRO. Windows 11 HOME requires a third party encryption app to provide password support and encryption. This makes the security features built in to the X9 useless for most users. I have been using an old model WD My Passport Ultra external USB HDD which has password protection and hardware encryption activation built in. Comparing the X9 PRO with the additional recommended third party encryption software, the X9 PRO takes twice as long as the WD to do backups. If you are looking to do password protected backups, forget the X9 PRO and find something else.

    Purchased this on line as a new product. Was sent a used product that had already been registered many months before my purchase. Also had issues with installing the Crucial Storage Executive software which may or may not be related to being sent a used and possible defective product. Returned the product.

    SSD was 220GB, not 1TB as listed. Tried to return to Best Buy, but the return windows was only 14 days. I'll shop Amazon from now on.

    With music piling up in my laptop, i began looking for portable SSDs to store music. Needed something that has a quick read/write speed, quick to use, and reliable. I stubbled upon this SSD on display at my local BEST BUY on SALE at Black Friday and immediately ordered one. By far one of the best investments i've made. It's very quick and easy to use. My only regret was not getting one sooner. Will definitely recommend.
