AND FINAL THOUGHTSWe have been trying to find a comparable that would make one understand just how small the Crucial X6 is. The closest thing I might say is its typically 1/3 the size of a smartphone (Samsung Note 8). Considering this is a 4TB portable S...
The Crucial X6 4TB Portable SSD was actually a fairly complicated review for us to complete. What at first seemed like a simple capacity increase for an existing product series quickly snowballed into something much more complicated. For starters the Cruc...
Ergonomic design, Good everyday performance, Very affordable for an external SSD
Performance tanks when cache runs out

Light and highly pocketable, Low cost per gigabyte, Compatible with Xbox One, PS4 game consoles (albeit not with bundled cable),
Shell feels plasticky, No USB-C-to-A adapter or cable in box, A step behind in speeds, despite USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface
