The Crucial X9 is surprisingly small, measuring 0.3 by 2.6 by 2 inches (HWD) and weighing a mere 1.5 ounces. The X9 features a minimalist black plastic case adorned with the Crucial logo. It offers good value for money, especially considering its large 2TB capacity (and it also comes in a 4TB variant). Additionally, its 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption adds an extra layer of security. The X9 includes a USB-C port, and a cable with USB-C connectors at both ends is included. fast at 1.35 Gb/s

- 3 Year Warranty with registering - Perfect for storing (off loading) PS5 games - Acronis True Image For Crucial - Software included - 1 month of Adobe® Acrobat Pro upon registering the Crucial X10 (if desired) - IP65 certified water/dust resistant - Drop resistant to 3 meters

As title says. Great product. Runs very well and at high speed. Now, make sure you have a Type-C port and also make sure your Motherboard supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 in order to gain from the 2000 MB/S. If it only supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 or below then it will run at a max speed of 1000 MB/S which is pretty fast, still. It also doesn't specify if it comes with a cable. Yes, a Type-C cable. Not a USB cable. So like I said you need a Type-C port.

Plenty fast enough for my purposes. Getting close to the theoretical maximum read/write speeds of 1050Gbps using a certified 40Gbps data cable on an M2 MacBook Air.


Good transfer rate, great protective casing, easily portable. Excellent value for the money!

USB C enough said. This is the fastest External Drive I own.





Download as expected and good looking device!




I use the drive for running the Raspberry PI4 and it is faster than the micro chip. Pretty much plug and play and easy to load the OS from my main system.

Plug n play. Backup took 15 min when my old drive took 5 hrs.

Beautiful design. Big storage space. FAST. Reliable. Easy.

Arrived formatted exFat, GPT from Crucial. A few preinstalled offers included links to, Acronis backup software, Mylio Photo Organizer and the Crucial support webpage. The first thing I did was use software to repartition the drive then format to NTFS. I will mention after running synthetic benchmarks formatted NTFS then reformatted back to exFat produced little difference in benchmarks speed-wise. I used Crystal DiskMark9 to check speed. I have a Thunderbolt PCIE card installed and anticipated a jump in Read/Write speeds when using the Thunderbolt option. To my surprise, there was little difference in speed from the USB-C than when tested while connected to the Thunderbolt adapter. When connected with USB-C Read/Write bench speeds of 1041/1005 MB/s were reached. Testing speed connected to the PCIE Thunderbolt adapted showed R/W 1043/1023 MB/s. The synthetic speed tests were well below the advertised 2100 MB/s. I wasnt disappointed with the speeds, but I did expect my tests to be closer to the advertised speeds. And Im not sure why my unit didnt test closer to the 2100 MB/s. The advertised speeds could have been reached using a different software, not sure why my results showed lower R/W speeds. I happened to have a portable 1GB hard drive from around the 2004 era. The speeds hardly compare to the Crucial X10, but its amusing to see the difference in the size of the units (see picture). This Crucial X10 is nothing short of extraordinarily fast for a portable USB drive. I will definitely be using this drive next time I copy my music and music video files. Large enough to copy my main PCs entire storage drive. The cutting-edge speeds will be a real time-saver.
