Oct 16, 2020 ·  Crucial X6 2TB Portable SSD – Up to 540MB/s – USB 3.2 – External Solid State Drive, USB-C – CT2000X6SSD9 (Personal Computers) New From: $189.95 In Stock 

The Crucial X6 2TB portable SSD lands in a crowded marketplace dominated by vertically integrated players like Samsung and Sandisk. While Crucial’s latest large capacity SSD offers good value for money, there are other more established models like the Samsung T5 or the Sandisk Extreme portable external SSD that offer a better deal. 

Crucial takes a slightly different approach to the design of its X8 Portable SSD by mixing materials. The main body is anodized aluminum, and there are plastic inserts running across each side, with grippier end caps. They’re all shades of black, and the overall effect is quite nice. The X8 is one of the larger portable drives I’ve tested. Measuring 4.33 x 0.45 x 2.08 inches (width/depth/height), and weighing just shy of 3.5 ounces, it’s not quite as husky as Samsung’s X5, but more like Sandisk’s Extreme Pro Portable SSD. It sits in your hand nicely. The X8 connects using USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) and is available in two capacities: 500GB ($119.95 from CrucialRemove non-product link) and 1TB ($164.95 on Amazon), the latter being the capacity we tested. The NAND is TLC, which is plenty fast for an external USB SSD—most of the time. Yes, another tease about performance. The X8 Portable SSD ships with a Type-C to Type-C cable, with a Type-C to Type-A adapter.
