Review: GREAT drive, fast and small! - 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 desertcart 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How can I get the best performance out of the X6 drive?**
A: While the guidance in the other two answers is pertinent, they're missing the most important pieces of the performance puzzle - which USB cable you use and what port you plug into on the computer. These two things can cut the potential performance of the drive in half, or worse!

You need to use a cable rated for USB 3.2 Gen 2/SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps or better (such as the one that came with it) and plug it into a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port (or better) or a Thunderbolt 3 port (or better, recommended). If you need a longer cable, ensure you buy one rated for 10Gbps or better (I usually over-spec the cable for 20Gbps so if the cable degrades over time, it'll still support at least the10Gbps the drive wants).

If you use an adaptor to convert the USB-C to USB-A, you're limiting yourself to USB 3.0 speeds (5Gbps) which is half of what the drive supports. Only do this if there is no other choice! If you plug into a USB-C port not rated for the higher speed, then you also limit yourself to 5Gbps. Again, only do this if there's no other choice...

**Q: I want to use this for just storage on a ps5 & xbox series x.  will any cable that is usb c & usb a on other end work?**
A: Not exactly, no.  While any USB A to C cable will technically work, the XBox will be very unhappy with you unless your connection to this "external disk" runs at least at USB 3.0 speeds.  This pretty much means your cable needs to be rated for USB 3.0 (or better) or it won't work well with your XBox (so avoid using those cheaper USB cables on the market).

On my XBox Series S I bought a 2 pack of (2 foot) USB 3.1 cables for around $10 on Amazon.  And when I used one of those cables with my XBox, the Xbox was happy with this SSD (and immediately offered to format the drive for storing my games).  And after format, I could then move (and play) any games I wanted from this SSD (except the few games that XBox insists need the "internal" storage of the console itself).

**Q: usb 2.0?**
A: We would like to inform you that Crucial X6 1TB Portable SSD – Up to 540MB/s – USB 3.2 – External Solid State Drive, USB-C - CT1000X6SSD9 is 100% compatible with 2.0 USB.

**Q: Is it made of soft touch plastic or regular plastic? Im asking because soft touch plastic turn sticky with time**
A: It is made of regular hard plastic.
