Crucial X10 4TB Portable SSD, Up to 2,100MB/s, USB 3.2 USB-C, External Solid State Drive, Compatible with Windows, Mac & Android, Durable Storage for Games, Photos & Files, Blue – CT4000X10SSD9-02

Definitely worth its value and you won’t believe its size when you see it in person.
I don’t see why Crucial doesn’t have a better reputation. I think they should spend more on marketing or hire a new marketing team. I have purchased their 4TBs in the past, which is why I bought their 6TB. They have changed the design a bit between the 4 and 6TB, where the 6 doesn’t come equipped with a light to show that data is being used on the device. Which isn’t a deal breaker and has nothing to do with performance. However, the light is a little tattletale and does give you an indication of how often your laptop is reading the drive even while it’s not in use.The performance on the 4TB is faster with read/write than the 6TB. But it’s not that noticeable and should not be a deal breaker, Unless you’re constantly using it for large quantity data transfers while on the fly (even then I don’t see where it could be an issue), you shouldn’t have any qualms with it.Since writing this review at the early stages of ownership for only a couple months, just doesn’t justify an honest review for longevity assurance for quality involving data loss. That said, I’ve had the 4TB for a couple years and have had no issues (knock on wood) and the 6TB seems to be just as reliable and the casing material is solid. The size will shock you of how much data you can store on it for how tiny it is. I honestly can’t comprehend how that’s established.One thing to note, but I personally don’t see this as a reason to remove a star is the heat release. It gets pretty warm. Not as hot as the 4TB, (probably why it’s faster), but it still gets warm/hot. Booting is not even a thought, my laptop always automatically wants the PW once I plug it in, which is a MacOS. I know Crucial has been around for a while, but I hope they start getting the recognition they deserve vs. their competitors (not mentioning names) where they have failed me.

Large (likely very reliable) USB SSD
This is a large USB SSD (in my case I got the 8TB model). Since this is a Crucial product, and Crucial has a long history of selling quality products, I expect to get years of use out of this drive. I did previously have 2 smaller Crucial SSDs, that have both already given years of use without failing (so I suspect I’ll get the same from this 8TB SSD).I first learned about Crucial years ago from a colleague at work. He pointed out that Crucial was (at that time) just a USA based computer memory maker. However, the thing about Crucial memory was that it had a much lower failure rate than most of the memory made/sold by other companies. Essentually Crucial memory was of a higher quality than memory made by most of the compitition. While Crucial also charged a little more than the compitition, in this case you got what you paid for. And since the time/cost of diagnosing/fixing equipment using broken memroy can be substantial, paying a little more for quality memory from Crucial can easily end up saving money in the long run.Since I have now retired, I currently only buy Crucial products for personal/home needs. However, I still remember the lesson that it can be worth it to spend a little extra for quality products that will last. And since I can’t remember even one time a Crucial product has failed on me, I still will buy Crucial products when they aren’t massively more costly than the compitition.In the case of this SSD, I got it to upgrade the storge on my XBox gaming console. Since this is use case Crucial didn’t make the drive for, I did have to take a couple extra steps to make this work. Specifically I needed to supply my own fast USB A to USB C cable (as the XBox only has USB A ports, not USB C ports) and I also needed to let the XBox reformat the SSD to whatever file format it uses for storing games on (as the XBox can’t use the file format this drive shipped with). But once those steps were done, the XBox happily saw this USB SSD as valid “external storage” for use by the gaming console (and I have already moved a number of my games onto that newly purchased storage).NOTE: I didn’t pay full price for this SSD. Instead I took advantage of a large “limited time” sale that slashed the price by close to $200 (bringing the price down to under $470, including the required sales tax). While this is still a lot of money for a toy (a gaming console upgrade), it is still much less than it would have been had I paid full price for this 8TB SSD.

Petit, rapide, fait très bien le travail
