Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's very difficult to buy a laptop with 2TB SSD built in. This compact external drive allows me to keep files locally.

Bought this drive due to the WD SSD external drive not being SMART enabled. Apparently Sandisk took away SMART feature on the WD external SSD drives when Sandisk took over the WD SSD external drives . This Crucial drive is SMART enabled.

Does exactly what it is supposed to. A good choice

Fast and reliable. I installed some games on it without issue.

This SSD is a great buy for the price! It is very fast if you are transferring large files like 6K footage!

THIS IS JUST THE RIGHT SIZE. I PURCHASED A LITTLE POUCH THAT STICKES ON THE BACK OF MY IPAD AND MY DELL LAPTOP AND THIS LITTLE HARDDRIVE GOES EVERYWHERE WITH ME. BEST BUY HAD A GREAT SALE PRICE AS ALWAYS.

Super fast uploading and downloading of photos and files, I was able to free up all the space on my cell phone for new photos.

Super recommended! This product will get you out of trouble. Very efficient to save your memories!

Great product!! Plenty of storage and fast data transfer.

This is a really great extension for my MacBook Pro. It's a great way to keep large video files without filling up the internal drive. I have run into the limitations of the speed of transfer though, as there's a slight lag if you are processing a video on Adobe Premiere Pro straight from the external drive. If you are using the Lumetri presets, it will take a second for the processing to catch up. Outside of this minor limitation, this is a great external drive.

Great and easy to carry, compatible with school Computer, great for animation projects

The SSD purchased almost 3 months ago seems to be working well.

Works great and way smaller than expected. Only comes with a very short usb-c cord but decent enough.

This was installed by my IT. You do not even know that it is there. I can rest knowing that all data on my computer is backed up properly.

Use this for editing videos on the go. Holds so much and so far is super fast and no issues. Not trusting Sandisk anytime soon after their failing SSDs so Crucial seems pretty solid.

Quick little drive for backups and external storage.

Great read and write speeds in one of the smallest ssd packages.

Very speed. I have transferred 10 gb data in fraction of seconds.

Not sure what is going on, but this did not have transfer speeds remotely close to what you would expect from a SSD. I have an Aurora r8 and used a usb c port with multiple different brands of max speed cables, but transfers were commonly only in the kbs range and maxed out very infrequently in the 30 mbs range. I used a usb c thumbdrive and speeds jumped significantly. The difference confirmed that the port was not malfunctioning. The only possible "weak" link was the cable, but I tried literally 6 different cables and all were consistently in the same range regardless of whether they were classed as "fast" cables or not. VERY disappointed!! Given that other reviews were so positive, maybe I just received a bad unit. I will contact Crucial/Micron and update this review if it turns out that there was a problem with the unit.

Great price and plug and play on Mac mini. Very quick transferring files.
