Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very compact, takes up less space. I use it as a dj and its very convenient!

This is great! I use it for transferring videos captured on the PlayStation 4 Pro for editing as well as audio files.

Fast, small, solid. so far it has met my expectations

this thing is so small, I'm sure you can do much more with it than I do. All I use it for is backup on my work macbook

Small and compact with fast transfers. Great value as well.

Love it! Works great! Using it to store virtual instruments and there is absolutely no lag when using it. Definitely recommend

this was awesome customer service, and the product. I really really enjoy using every day.

Fast and compact. Very cost efficient and takes up very little space.

Working like a charm! Half the size of my older SSD, but 4x the size.

Purchased this to replace an older 500Gb Sandisk Extreme SSD and I am so far very pleased with it. I tested it with my MacBook Pro and it is over twice as fast as the Sandisk, and about 200 Mbs faster than my 512 Gb Samsung T7. I haven't really owned this drive for long, so I can only hope its reliability is as good as its speed. Oh and in my usage, the Crucial stays the coolest of the three SSD's I have.

Purchased while on a trip needed the storage. Updated firmware. Never showed in disk management. Had to redownload 11 pro. Forward from April to Late July tried another 1 hour session with support nothing, I bought 64gb or ram from micron for the same business laptop there were no issues. I've bought M.2 nvme and internal ssd all were fine for the exept of this item and a 990 pro. The phone assistance people are nice however, having to use a 3rd party to insure whatever is on this bricked X9pro is concerning. I have no choice at this point.

I bought the Crucial X9 Pro 1TB SSD because I needed something small, fast, and dependable for storing and moving large video and photography files between devices. After using it for a few months, I can say it has definitely lived up to the expectations I had based on other reviews. The first thing that stands out is the speed. Transfers are consistently quick, whether it’s photos, videos, or bigger project files. Crucial advertises speeds up to around 1,050 MB/s, and in real-world use it feels close. Moving several gigabytes at a time only takes a few seconds, which makes it a lot more convenient than older portable drives. It also works smoothly for things like loading game files or working directly off the SSD when I’m editing or organizing media. The size and build are another plus. It’s genuinely compact—small enough to fit in a pocket—and feels solid without being heavy. I’ve tossed it in my backpack and laptop sleeve daily and haven’t had to worry about it. It also stays fairly cool during use, even after longer transfer sessions. Compatibility has been great so far. I’ve used it with a Windows desktop, a MacBook, and a PS5 without any formatting headaches or setup steps. Everything recognized it instantly. The simplicity is a big selling point: plug it in and it just works. The only minor drawback is that it ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable only. That’s fine for newer devices, but if you’re using it with an older laptop or a PC that doesn’t have USB-C, you’ll need your own adapter or cable (but you should make sure the adapter will support the transfer speeds, or else it can become a choke point). Also, while there are faster high-end portable SSDs on the market, most people won’t need more speed than this offers. Overall, the Crucial X9 Pro hits a sweet spot between performance, portability, and price. It’s a great option if you want a dependable external SSD for backups, travel, or everyday file transfers without spending a lot or dealing with complicated setups. It’s become my daily go-to drive, and I’m very happy with it.

This external SSD exceeded my expectations. The performance is outstanding, with incredibly fast read and write speeds that make transferring large files quick and effortless. Whether I’m backing up data, editing videos, or running applications directly from the drive, everything loads smoothly with no lag. It’s also very compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry anywhere without taking up much space. The build quality feels solid, and it’s the perfect combination of speed, reliability, and portability. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance external SSD.

Nice and small. Also very simple to use. Usually i ignore added programs but i like the one that they encourage to download. I can see the space on both my laptop and the drive as well as any additional drives all in one place. And i can keep an eye on the temperature and how much I'm making it work. I've already used 40% of it immediately and its running smoothly. I've even linked many my game files to desktop icons and they work great.

I am using it as my flashdrive replacement, as I was tired of slow data transfers and heating plus slow ejection. Now everything feels fast, and also I can keep tonns of backups in this SSD which has made my life a lot easy!! I'd say this is better than sandisk extreme (which my girlfriend has) and samsung T7 (which I have as a master backup).

Reliable and fast for everyday backups, with plenty of storage space packed into a compact design, though the cable feels a little flimsy and it’s not the quickest option for huge file transfers.

I have been really happy with the Crucial X9 Pro 1TB External USB-C SSD. It’s small, sleek, and easy to carry around, and the Space Gray finish gives it a nice premium look. The speed is impressive, and transferring large files is quick and smooth with no issues. It’s reliable, easy to use, and stays cool even during longer transfers. Overall, it’s a great choice if you need fast, dependable portable storage.

Yeah, it’s been a long time since I have purchased a hard drive to work off of. I am a professional photographer and this hard drive is graded for both on the go and in office I am able to upload large files very quickly and it also keeps up with my Photoshop work

I’ve been using this as a Time Machine backup for my MacBook and partitioned the other half for general storage, and it’s been working perfectly. Setup was super easy—plug it in, set it up once, and that’s it. Since then, I don’t even think about it. It just runs in the background and does its job. When I do need to actually move files, this thing is stupid quick. Like seriously fast. My old hard drive would take 8+ hours to transfer certain files, and this one gets it done in minutes. Huge difference. Performance overall has been solid—no disconnects, no slowdowns, nothing weird. It’s fast, reliable, and exactly what you want in a backup drive. Honestly, it’s one of those products you don’t notice because it just works. 10/10 would recommend.

I've been using Crucial - X9 Pro SSDs for about a year and have been very pleased with them (!TB and 2TB). They are small, feel solid and are fast to access files. I've used them for video editing and downloading media files. Clients love them. 2 things to possibly critique are the cable included is very short and the drives do get hot. I haven't had issues with either of these, but they may be something to keep in mind.
