Fast, small and good feel!
Does what it should - Unfortunately, no encryption software included (So, do not lose!). Unfortunately, I have no long-term experience. The SSD can be transported well in the pocket (~11x5.3 cm).
Pro
- Reads and writes on my PC USB-C about 1 GB / sec.
- Small and handy
- Runs with USB power from connection cable (no extra cable needed)
- USB-C connection cable with adapter to USB-A
Contra
- Very short cable (24cm, Due to the speed.)
- Connection options limited, due to the short cable

Still just OK for smaller jobs...
Nice design, high-quality workmanship. The speed leaves much to be desired for large amounts of data. A backup from just under 200GB takes 30-45 minutes. The device also gets extremely hot.

PS5 Memory Expansion
I need the Crucial as an external memory expansion for my PS5. Plug it in, format it and it runs faster than you can say PS5. Starting PS4 games also works flawlessly.
Best price/performance for external SSDs that are suitable for this.This review was created for a different variant: X8 (2000 GB)
Medium-fast SSD with 2 TB and good price/performance ratio (at promotional price).
Pro
- Medium-fast (1 GB/s) NVMe flash storage with USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 interface
- Aluminum case
- compact (11 x 5.3 x 1.2 cm)
Contra
- design is nothing special
- no hardware encryption

Nice SSD for PS5 not the fastest, not the slowest
Bought this for my PS5. When connected to front USB-C works without issues. Tried to connected to the back ports using the included adapter and the PS5 would only recognize it sporadically. Games installed on the SSD would often look for the drive when starting and often not start.
When connected on the front, whole other story. Games start as if from the internal drive, very fast! if you don’t mind, still would recommend.
Pro
- Fast 1000MB/s
- Small
- good value MB vs. $
Contra
- heats up quite a bit
- on the PS5, needs to be connected to the USB-C to avoid issues
- supplied USB C to A not reliable for PS5 usage
- USB-C cable too short for most
- no led indicator (could be looked as positive too)

Write/read rate
Write rate up to 1000 MB/s, yes only on paper. The fact is a write rate of 150 KByte to max. 38 MB/s.
Contra
- too slow
This review was created for a different variant: X8 (2000 GB)
The writing speed decreases massively the more the memory is full
I wonder if it is normal that after 1/3 of the capacity the write speed drops from
370MB/s to less than 62 MB/s (SSD to SSD).
SSD defective? I have no problems with other Samsung SSDs.Pro
