Ergonomic design, Good everyday performance, Very affordable for an external SSD
Performance tanks when cache runs out
I have zero qualms recommending the X6 for the average user. Especially those who like to carry their storage around in a pocket. It's a bargain (less so at 4TB), and fast enough for everyday use.Note, however, that the 4.5-star rating reflects the X6's l...
As I said at the beginning of this review I am a huge fan of portable solid state drives and if you were to choose either of these drives they would work out quite good for you whether you are using them for just transferring files, a portable game drive...

Sleek, compact, and light design, Responsive performance within the cache and fast to recover,
Lacks an activity light, Lacks USB-C to USB-A adapter, Lacks hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption, Slow after cache write is exhausted during sustained workloads
Crucial's X6 is an affordable and very portable USB Type-C SSD that dishes out fast and responsive performance, but its relatively small cache results in reduced performance during larger sustained data transfers...

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
Crucial's X6 Portable SSD is a good basic external drive for everyday use and small backups, but its performance and build will fall short for incessant file movers and active users...

Even if the X6 is no speed demon, it is considerably faster that other USB external storage we have previously tested; it is also very compact, so it fits well inside your pocket, while supporting the latest USB connection standard. The SATA-based drive d...
Abstract: Bus-powered portable flash-based storage solutions are one of the growing segments in the consumer-focused direct-attached storage market. The emergence of 3D NAND with TLC and QLC has brought down the cost of such drives. NAND manufacturers like Western...
Abstract: Recently we took a long hard look at the updated Crucial X8 2TB external solid-state storage solution and walked away pretty impressed. It certainly was not perfect, as while it us NVMe M.2 based it is using QLC NAND (and all the associated issues with sa...

Crucial's new X6 and X8 external drives are impressive entries into the ever-expanding portable SSD market. They offer excellent performance and, especially from the 2TB versions we received, tremendous storage capacity for their size.While the smaller X6...
High performance, Reasonable price, High quality, High compatibility, Low operating temperature, 3-year warranty
Nothing worth to mention,
Crucial are not known to release many new products, but when they do… it's always something special. The X6 2TB portable SSD is clearly another great product from Crucial. It features high performance, high quality, and great support that's second to non...
