Customers are saying

Customers commend the product's impressive speed, convenient small size, and excellent portability, noting its good storage capacity, strong build quality, and broad compatibility. However, some users expressed minor concerns regarding connectivity due to a short high-speed data transfer cable and the standard USB-C cable provided. While heat was a topic of discussion, customers generally reported that the device did not get excessively hot.

    Another solid choice for an external SSD. Good speeds, good storage capacity, excellent form factor (very small and light). Wish it had an activity indicator light. Build quality and performance are on par or exceed its competitors from WD, SanDisk, Samsung, etc.

    This is a great external SSD for Mac. It works out of the box without reformatting it, though you can certainly can to wipeout it clean if you want. It’s fast and hardly anything issues. If you’re looking for the one external SSD for your Mac, make it this one!

    I have a Mac Mini and bought this for the Time Machine backup. It is very fast. It takes 2-3 minutes for me to do my daily backup. I have about 360GB of data. The set was extremely easy. Just plug the SSD in, pick it as your backup and that’s it. The drive is tiny. Smaller than a credit card and not thick at all. This SSD replaces an old hard drive that was slow, glitchy and way bigger.

    I’ve used my Crucial X9 pro for about a year now. It’s worked flawless right up until a couple weeks ago when my MacBook Pro stalled while editing videos on Final Cut Pro. I reset my MacBook Pro and when it came up the SSD wouldn’t doc. I had to use a recovery program to save all the data. I formatted the drive and it still works great

    My Mac writes to this drive fairly fast. Deletions, however, take a long time. This is probably a Mac issue rather than an issue with the drive. Otherwise, this is a no fuss drive for weekly backups.
