Bought with a great sale and very happy with the ease of use. I wanted something for extra photo/video storage and the files transfer with a couple clicks using the C to C USB cable provided.

Solid choice for SSD. Small and Fast. The drive does get hot and it would be good the they included a longer usb cable. But not dealbreakers. Happy so far with the performance.

The Crucial x9 Pro is small and compact. It's is constructed well and is water and dust resistant. The bottom of the case has non-slip rubber and the case is thin. It also has an activity led inside a cutout on one corner of the case. It's has a USB-C 3.2 gen 2 port and it comes with a short USB-C 3.2 gen 2 cable. I used the SSD on two different computers and I was able to get at most 680 MB/s read and 470 MB/s write. It is advertised to get up to 1050 MB/s read and 1050 MB/s write. I was not able to get that out of the SSD on either of the two systems I used. The SSD I have works, but I'm not sure what may be causing the slow speeds. Regardless, the speeds I did get are enough for me to use this as a storage drive for games and to use it with my laptop as a storage drive while out away from my desk. If I'm out with my laptop and need to transfer data from a memory card to the SSD, the speeds are fast enough that I won't have any issues there. Also, the read speeds are faster than a SATA 3 SSD, so I won't have any issues with this being used to store and run games off of this drive.
Pros:
Compact
Thin
USB-C
Cons:
Speed
Short USB-C cable
It's a small SSD with faster than SATA SSD read speeds and is on part with SATA SSD write speeds. If that fits your needs, then consider the Crucial x9 Pro. The x9 does fit some of my needs even with the less than expected read/write speeds.

The Crucial Drive is the fastest download drive I've ever used. The 2tb drive, which is about the size of a credit card, ships to my editor safely and inexpensively. I highly recommend these drives as a great companion to a laptop or smartphone.

Overall, this is a 5* drive - small, fast, and copious. My disappointment is that the encryption is largely useless with Windows Home. This limitation should be noted more prominently in the marketing material.

I use it as a backup hard drive for my work laptop and personal photos catalog. Transfer speeds are great and it's a good price for the amount of storage. I haven't had any issues with corrupt files.

This fast little SSD is exactly what I needed as a backup drive, Good capacity. Very compact and lightweight, but also durable enough for me to toss in my gear bag when traveling. I’d recommend it to anyone who need a good backup drive.

Needed something to back up all my files from some smaller thumb drives and the SSD in my laptop. Transfer rates were fast and the storage is very adequate for the price. Also, the build quality appears to be great.

I bought 2 of these SSD's and so far they have been and performed exactly as described. They are very small, light, fast and easy to use. I use one as and additional Time Machine backup and the other is used for multiple storage purposes.

This is a fast, mid-priced external hard drive that I use to store my raw video files for a Youtube channel. It has done its job well and I will be looking to purchase another once this one is filled up.

This is my main external SSD, and I have several. I use it to store my RAW images and videos and use it for all my client file needs. It has a fast read/write speed and is so compact and durable. Highly recommend.
