Crucial X9 Pro 1TB Portable External SSD - Up to 1050MB/s Read/Write, External Solid State Drive, IP55 Water and Dust Resistant, USB-C 3.2 - CT1000X9PROSSD902

Luckily, I didn't experience problems like some of the others might have experienced since I owned this product. The speed was top notch and the best thing about it is how small and light it is compare to some of the other brands. For the storage I do think Micron provides excellent value and would buy again.

The Crucial X9 Pro 2TB Portable SSD has been an excellent addition to my tech gear. With read and write speeds up to 1050MB/s, it handles large file transfers swiftly, making it perfect for video editing and backing up high-resolution photos. Its compact and lightweight design allows it to fit easily into a pocket or bag, and the IP55 rating provides peace of mind against dust and water exposure. The drive's durability is further enhanced by its resistance to drops from up to 7.5 feet. Compatibility is seamless across various devices, including Windows PCs, Macs, iPads, and gaming consoles, thanks to the included USB-C and USB-A cables. The plug-and-play functionality means no additional software is required, although bonus software offers like Mylio Photos+ and Adobe Acrobat Pro are available upon registration. Overall, the Crucial X9 Pro 2TB Portable SSD delivers impressive performance and reliability, making it a top choice for professionals and casual users alike.

I bought an Amazon refurbished used-good version of this and was not disappointed, on checking the disk it turns out it hard hsrdly been used at all. I would have described it used as new except the box was a little worse for wear. The device works well and it's very fast.

I'm getting speeds around 950Mb/Sec which is good. They were clever to write "Up Tp" in their advertisement. In short, the device is performing good, it was built very good, small enough to fit in your wallet. I use it on a Mac Studio M4 Max for audio production. Reason for not giving it 5 stars is it came with the wrong cable. Upon plug-in it for the first time I was getting speeds of 39Mb/sec which is slower than a USB2 Stick. But switching to a real Thunderbolt 5 cable I just had laying around fixed the problem and then some. I guess what they sent me with the product is just a USB-C charging cable.

I wanted an external SSD to transfer literally thousands of photos and videos dating back 20 years and stored on much older external mechanical hard drives. I initially ordered the Sandisk Extreme 2TB drive, but when I tried to transfer a folder containing 1.3 TB to it, the speed was OK, but within a few minutes the drive got extremely hot (but continued working ok) but then after 2 hours it disconnected itself completely halfway through the transfer. I then Googled the problem and saw that some other users had experienced the same thing, so I ordered the Crucial X9 Pro instead. During the transfer of the same 1.3 TB folder, the X9 just got mildly warm to the touch, and completed the job without a problem. I also have older Samsung T7 drives, which have never given a problem and transferred the same folder without difficulty, albeit about 20% slower than the Crucial, and running a little bit warmer. The speed of both the Sandisk and Crucial were about the same: the long transfer time was due to the 15 year old hard drive they were transferring from. And although the Sandisk started working again when I clicked on it after the self-disconnection, I didn't want the stress of wondering if it would conplete a big transfer overnight without me sitting watching it. So the Sandisk Extreme has gone back and I’ll stick with the Crucial. In fact have ordered a couple more because I have so many historic files to preserve for prosperity. I’ve also tried some heavy duty 4k video editing with the Crucial and it works fine: again staying just slightly warm to the touch.

EDIT Was initially please (see below review). However the drive refused to mount today on either of my Macs, less than 3 weeks after purchase and with very minimal use. In disk utility, disk can't be repaired, erased or reformatted. Reported as corrupt with internal errors. I thought the price was too good to be true! Turned out to be the case. A very convenient, tiny 4TB drive. Half the size of my previous Seagate 1TB USB SSD. In Black Magic tests I was able to get around 850Mbs, using the Thunderbolt 3/USBc connection on a 2019 iMac. So not quite the 1050 max advertised, but not too shabby. As a guide, I was able to run moderately sized Logic Pro and Cubase projects directly off the Seagate at speeds of 450Mbs, so I'm more than confident, that this new drive will be up to similar tasks. Final Cut Pro was a struggle for the Seagate, so I will have to see how the Crucial fares there. One thing to watch out for with the Crucial is (i guess due to its physical size and larger storage size capacity), is that it does run quite hot. I'd be interested how that affects its overall longevity. But all-in-all, a decently fast, super conveniently small sized external SSD, which unless you want to step up to the cost of aa M.2 drive and compatible, quality chipset enclosure, still presents fantastic value for money.

Really quick transfer speeds and fits well in my camera bag. Solid backup device when I'm shooting in the field.

I like it much and the price was so low at the time of purchase due to offer

Çok güzel ve kompakt. Hızı da vadedildiği gibi.

If you use it on Mac, make sure to use Mac format to avoid data loss.

Très bon disque dur, jamais eu de souci le temps de mon utilisation. Les débits sont corrects et la petit led est très pratique pour savoir que le disque est en fonction. Jamais déçu des produits Crucial, surtout que celui-ci est vraiment compact et léger. Et il chauffe moins que les Crucial X6 avec leur coques en métal.
