Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very compact, good storage for on-the-go, and sturdy for the price. I like it so far

Small, fast, reliable, and durable. I've dropped it several times on a hardwood floor, I feel confident it will protect my files for years.

I was shocked when I opened the package and saw how small it is. It's extremely fast. I'm very happy with it. It was a great price too.

Great SSD. I have this Velcro attached with command strips to my ROG ally X’s killswitch kickstand and it has been fast, and reliable running games with windows 11 over usbc.

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.

I bought this as a backup drive for the hundreds of thousands of files of all types that I’ve accumulated. I wasn’t going to buy it since Crucial deceptively claimed password protected hardware encryption when they have yet to issue the software to make it work. The encryption options on other brands have some issues as well, and since I recently upgraded to Windows Pro, I opted to buy this drive because of it’s small size and use Bitlocker for encryption. Previously I used the very good, free and open source Veracrypt on all my drives, but Windows 11 inexcusably trashes the Veracrypt boot loader with every monthly update, so I gave up fighting with it. Microsoft could play well with Veracrypt if it wanted to, or they could be decent and make Bitlocker available on all versions of Windows, but user security is clearly not their priority. I hate Windows 11. All that said, Bitlocker To Go with Windows Pro works seamlessly for external drives, although it’s not clear that it takes advantage of the Crucial hardware encryption. The drive itself is shockingly tiny and weightless, even though I knew the dimensions in advance. It feels sturdy enough, but given it’s cost, probably best stored in some sort of protection. Despite the many complaints about the short cable, I have no problems with it, and, given the size of the drive, a longer one with add too much bulk. Even the short cable feels a bit bulky as it’s rather stiff. It works fine otherwise. I use it with a Thunderbolt 4 port, and overall the drive feels fast, but I expected it would be somewhat faster. File size makes a big difference, as do sustained transfers. Speeds reported by Windows varied from under 100mbs to over 500. It never came near the maximum rated speed. The drive only gets slightly warm, and I suspect that the thermal management is aggressive. The transfer graph shows lots of peaks and valleys, and a few pauses. Bitlocker may take a toll as well. I experienced no disconnects, unlike the many I get with other SSDs in cheap external cases. So far I’m pretty happy with the drive, although not with the price, which was lower in the past. There are cheaper alternatives for those on a budget.

Great hard drive, small and fast! I like the light, blinks when data is being transferred

Easy to use, funtional, small and very fast Perfect to phone back up

Lives up to its reputation. Fast, read/write. Very competitively priced. Use it for transferring, storing and editing photos from my camera. Very pleased.

The Crucial X9 Pro 2TB impresses with its high-speed performance and ample storage capacity. Its sleek design and robust build make it a reliable external SSD. The transfer speeds are noteworthy, offering swift data access for large files and seamless multitasking. The X9 Pro's compatibility with various devices adds to its versatility. While it comes at a premium price, the combination of speed, durability, and capacity justifies the investment for users seeking top-tier external storage solutions.

The size, weight and speed of the 2TB drive is great! It is small and easy to carry, lots of storage and rugged!

This is an impressive little drive.It's fast and has quite a bit of storage.Great for travel.

This is good and quick solution to expand your laptop's storage. This is smaller than my Samsung T5 SSD.

Nice little portable SSD. I am using it for gaming storage and it has worked pretty well. No complaints at all.

Fast and portable, this drive is not super expensive. Good for storing photos or info from an old computer.

Surprisingly small SSD with great capacity. When NVME SSDs first started to be released I think most people wondered why traditionally sized external SSDs were still relevant, but now we finally get mini, USB-C external SSDs that are both rugged and inexpensive. The entire SSD is smaller than my credit card and the entire line of Crucial SSDs are worth the purchase. Literally plug and play.

Way smaller than my Lacie 1TB SSD drive. Slower but not very noticeable in real time use. Very happy, definitely buying another one.

Great drive, small, easy to use, and 2 TB storage is excellent. Super affordable.
