## 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.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product!
*by S***D on 13 November 2024*

The SDD is quite compact, it operates fast, and compatible to almost every device like laptop PC phone etc.. Works fine when you use USB A male to USB C cable to connect the SSD to the PC or Laptops which does not have USB C Female input.. It is pretty light weight and fits easily into pocket as well. Best for the price.And the default format of this SSD is exFAT which is a common format which works with Mac and Windows. Though NTFS works with Mac as well but only for copying from it to the pc, you cannot Write back onto the SSD from the pc, cannot modify or rename etc. But you cannot make partitions or resize exFAT format SSD. If you want to make partitions then you have to format the SSD to NTFS and then you will be able to encrypt the files, use Bitlocker and the files will be safer as compared to exFAT. While exFAT format is less reliable as compared to NTFS because NTFS can automatically repair files and folders if there's a power failure or errors unlike exFAT. Thankfully there are software for Mac which can read and also Write NTFS, so it is better to choose it while formatting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product, worth to buy it
*by A***R on 13 December 2024*

The media could not be loaded. The Crucial external hard disk is a great product for transferring data from one place to another. However, its performance depends on your computer or USB hub's compatibility with high-speed data transfer. If supported, it provides high-speed functionality; otherwise, it may operate at 40 to 50 Mbps. The Crucial external SSD delivers optimal speed when connected via a USB-C port on your computer. If only standard USB ports are available, it will not perform at its full capacity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy storage, tiny device!
*by A***A on 21 April 2024*

This 2TB SSD is one of the best if not the best I have ever owned. I have desktop SSDs, NAS systems, and external hard drives, but they are all made for a desktop. This tiny drive can fit in your pocket and has incredibly fast transfer speeds. If you have an iPhone 15, it can be used to capture ProRES video/photography. The price point is affordable for the value it provides. A lot of influencers and content creators use this drive because of its reliability, portability, and speed. I am thinking of purchasing a couple more for different projects.
