1. Some of the storage capacity is used for formatting and other purposes and is not available for data storage. 1GB equals 1 billion bytes. Not all capacities available at initial launch.
2. Up to 6.5ft/2 m without impact to data on drive on a carpeted floor.
3. Compatibility may vary and may be contingent on device formatting and host capabilities.
4. MB/s speed measured as maximum sequential performance of device as measured by Crucial on a high-performance desktop computer with Crystal Disk Mark (version 6.0.2 for x64). Your performance may vary. Comparative speed claims measured as maximum sequential performance of similarly situated portable SSDs, mainstream portable HDDs and mainstream USB flash drives from vertically-integrated manufacturers selling under their own brands as of June 2019.

It is not the fastest advertised speed out there (search Sandisk Extreme) but compared to the old hard-disk drives (HDDs) that we have been using, this is fast enough, and we barely have the hardware to take advantage of its maximum speeds.
This capacity meant that photos and videos taking up storage on our cell phones could be backed up, with plenty of room for games, music, and videos. Note that 2Tb isn't a lot of room for 4K video editing or anything like that; for daily household and school uses this is plenty.
The plug is USB-C, so your tv must have that type of plug (or you buy a USB-A adapter separately), and your tv can read 2Tb hard drives (most have capacity limits) if you want to plug that into a tv. For a monitor you will need a computer to read its contents as well as a USB-C cable, or an adapter.
My worry is that because it's so small and it's the colour black, one of these days I will drop it, it bounces on the floor, and lose it. I suppose I could put a bright sticker on it but I don't know how that will affect its heat dissipation. So far it's safe, being treated well and I haven't travelled with it much. Once the child gets older they will get one of these as well; at their age they will most likely lose it (heck, I might lose it, it is THAT small).
Great purchase.
- It comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable and USB-C to USB-A converter.
- Seems durable and solid.
- Fast enough to transfer big files. It has an average of 500mb/s of writing speed, depending on the situation and the file type, and can go up to around 1000mb/s which is fast enough for most cases.
- Comes with 3 years of warranty.
Got it during the black friday and highly recommended!

Strengths:
- Speed is good. The SSD largely delivers on the promise. Generally, reads linger around 500MB/s and writes around 350MB/s with mixed data. I have transferred around 1.7TB of data and there was no noticeable thermal throttling.
- Build is solid. Seems durable and not a fingerprint magnet. The casing is built out of metal with ends having a rubber-like feel. I don't think short drops would cause harm to the device.
- The included cable is type-C to type-C, but a type-C to type-A has been included. Both are very high quality, make sure that you use this cable for maximum performance.
I have not found any weaknesses yet.
Things to consider:
- This is a well-performance SSD. Make sure you use the included cable for maximum performance.
- Make sure your computer has support for USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbit/s) or above. If you do not have this port and not planning to upgrade your computer, you could consider getting X6 and saving a few bucks.

Still, if you own a PS5 of the new generation (with usb-c port in the back) or do not need your from usb-c port for PSVR, then it performs well and allows similar loading times for your PS4 titles on it as if they were on the console's main drive.
Despite me unplugging it without using the eject drive button multiple times due to my lack of attention / focused too much of what I'm making, the Crucial X8 has never given me any issues. To ensure its true storage capacity, I conducted a thorough test using specialized software, and the results were flawless : a perfect 1TB, exactly as advertised unlike other company drive that I once owned that were disguising their drive as a 1To drive but were in reality a 16Gb drive and got my files corrupted.
This level of honesty and reliability sets the Crucial X8 apart from other drives on the market. You can definitely rest assured that you won't encounter any surprises or deceit with this product. If you're in need of a trustworthy portable SSD, the Crucial X8 is an excellent choice. A well-deserved 5/5 for delivering on its promises!

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 Amazon 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!
