Crucial X8 4TB Portable SSD - Up to 1050MB/s - PC and Mac - USB 3.2 External Solid State Drive - CT4000X8SSD9

This is a genuine Crucial product and it works really well. It is pretty fast and it's compact size makes it very easy to carry around. The exterior is a hard plastic sort of material that seems durable and safe. I really recommend it for anyone looking for a good portable ssd!

work on all OS that i tested (windows, macOS and IOS). It work with IOS without the need of the powered hub tho it needs the "Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter" on iPhone 14 and below.

Very good and working.

I have been disappointed by this product. When I connect it to my laptop it keeps going on and off as if someone was disconnecting and reconnecting it again. I am gravely unhappy and I have not been able to use this product for my needs.

Very good material and speed

Speed is very fast. Case quality is solid and strong! Like it very much!!!

I have not had it for very long, but so far i am very happy with it, very fast for file transfers. It warms up during usage, but it is not that hot, so I do not have any problems with it.

The product is coming with only type C to C cableIt does not work with PS4 as described . Need type C 3.2 - (A) adapter.Moreover I’m not able to contact the seller to understand what type of connector is needed to operate this device with my PS4 .So I can consider it useless device if you are getting it to your PS4 .The plus point of this product : it’s looking good shape along with prime quality device .

At 2Tb, the Crucial solid-state drive (SSD )is thin, small, and symmetrical. The first one we purchased had a non-working USB-C cable, however we were able to exchange it for another one at no cost to us, and no refund-then-repurchase runaround.It is not the fastest advertised speed out there (search Sandisk Extreme) but compared to the old hard-disk drives (HDDs) that we have been using, this is fast enough, and we barely have the hardware to take advantage of its maximum speeds.This capacity meant that photos and videos taking up storage on our cell phones could be backed up, with plenty of room for games, music, and videos. Note that 2Tb isn't a lot of room for 4K video editing or anything like that; for daily household and school uses this is plenty.The plug is USB-C, so your tv must have that type of plug (or you buy a USB-A adapter separately), and your tv can read 2Tb hard drives (most have capacity limits) if you want to plug that into a tv. For a monitor you will need a computer to read its contents as well as a USB-C cable, or an adapter.My worry is that because it's so small and it's the colour black, one of these days I will drop it, it bounces on the floor, and lose it. I suppose I could put a bright sticker on it but I don't know how that will affect its heat dissipation. So far it's safe, being treated well and I haven't travelled with it much. Once the child gets older they will get one of these as well; at their age they will most likely lose it (heck, I might lose it, it is THAT small).Great purchase.

El disco lo puse de entrada en un HUB UGREEN con el convertidor USB-A que viene incluido y la lectura era de aproximadamente 345 MB/s No tenía otro puerto USB-C libre en la Macbook Pro ya que tengo un Pen Display pero ya después lo que hice fue conectar dicho Pen Display por HDMI en el HUB y conectar el SSD en el puerto USB-C de la mac y subió a entre 687 a 745 MB/s en escritura y en lectura 763 MB/s lo que mejoró significativamente. Estoy muy contento con la unidad Crucial X8 SSD. Son 4TB, el material excelente, casi no se calienta . Muy recomendable!!

I got my previous portable storage solution, the platter-based HDD WD My Passport Ultra in 2TB capacity, back in mid-2015. It's held up for almost eight years and I've been very proud of it. Recently it started to click, most likely meaning that it is on its way out. I take that to mean that the read-write head is striking the inside of the case on occasion. It actually happens maybe only once every two or three minutes when it's idle. So, maybe it's not that bad. And I could retire it to use as an only-occasionally backup drive - when I was copying and moving content from it to the new drive so it could be more easily accessible, the clicking did not occur nearly as often, so maybe I was worried for not much.Which is, fortunately, not an issue at all with the new SSD that I got just recently: Crucial X6! Same capacity, taking up the same position on my desk, but incredibly small - and no moving parts to wear out! YAY!Though of course I don't know for sure, I imagine that the inside is a small form-factor M.2 drive flanked with heat spreaders - the only other option is that the drive takes up the entire space inside the case.Either way, the drive is awesome and performs quite quickly for any number of applications. Much more quickly than the old magnetic drive, that's for sure. A weird thing is that it does not like CrystalDiskMark - creating its test file and then the speed test on it, well, takes a lot longer than I thought it would, whether I keep it on the default of 1 GB or go down to 128 MB. This makes this program unreliable for speed tests in my configuration - if I did not stop the test and let it show the speed that it determined, it would likely be much slower than the actual drive’s speed.Speaking of my configuration: my computer does not have a USBC port on it natively, and this drive only has a USBC port on it, most likely to save on space and keep the drive as miniscule as it possibly can be. Thus, I had to get a USBC to USBA adapter cable, which I had gotten before for use with another drive. As far as I can tell, without being able to use a benchmark program as previously stated, the functionality and speed is fine with this SUNGUY brand cable. And the cable is fairly snazzy as well as you can see, its nylon-esque cover being braided!Back at its inception two years ago, this drive was incredibly expensive at $285, and it was only available in 1 and 2 TB variants - now there's a 4 terabyte variant which I may get sometime. I was able to get this 2 TB variant for $110 and I am very happy about that. In retrospect, it might have been a bit better to be a bit more circumspect about my purchase and spend the extra $20 on the X8, which comes with its own USBA adapter and is apparently faster? (limited by the USBA connection, of course)But that's all right - this will do for me for now, and I'm sure that somewhere down the line I will get the X8 as well, and repurpose this drive for maybe an extra storage device for my Xbox One - or the other way around. Goodness knows it's slow enough with its magnetic drive built in.So yeah. get this drive if you want a little extra capacity and you're able to find a good spot for it to sit on your desk. Since it is so lightweight and small and thus likely to get lost if you don't secure it, I do highly recommend getting cable clips like those little adhesive/silicone ones that can grab onto cables and hold things securely in place - the ones I got have the brand names of OHill, ChefBee and ONME (yeah, I have lots of cables that need securing! ) and are sold here on Amazon for around $10, and come in both white and black (ONME had some Browns in their collection as you can see, but they stopped selling them over the past two years). Do some shopping as your needs entail 🙂Take care, awesome fellow computer people, and happy storing!

Tengo aproximadamente unas 3 semanas con el dispositivo y me ha funcionado muy bien. No ocupa mucho espacio ya que cabe en la palma de la mano , no se calienta (se puede sentir una diferencia en temperatura cuando está en uso pero es mínima , casi imperceptible).Una recomendación es que lo formateen antes de usar. En mi caso no lo hice y cuando lo empecé a usar iba muy lento hasta el punto que pensé que había hecho una mala compra , pero una vez formateado y seleccionado el formato adecuado para una PC con windows 10 funciona al 100%.Si no saben que formato usar o como formatearlo , es muy sencillo de encontrar en artículos de internet , solo busquen según su sistema operativo.
