I’ll try to keep this short. I love, love, love this SSD. For anyone in Australia – it is cheaper to use an NVMe in an enclosure, but this is so great for the portability, size, quality, transfer speeds (very close to the rated speeds), look, feel and weatherproof-ness.
It is so mini yet so powerful, I really do love it, and it’s honestly my favourite, traditional, external SSD that I own – above the Samsung T7 Shield, T9 and the Kingston SSDs (all great products, but this Crucial wins). It arrived very quickly from the US – for anyone in AUS, it’s worth getting the expedited shipping for $15 AUD or however much it is (it wasn’t expensive). Delivered, at my door in Melbourne only one week after ordering it, by a courier.
Anyway, can’t recommend it highly enough. Just be sure to get it for a good price, if you can, although it is consistently above the $400 AUD mark, as of writing this (October 2024). Definitely worth it. You won’t even believe that something this tiny is so powerful! It’s insane, honestly.
Final thing – I am using it for a mix of things, but mainly for media collection, and it does all of it without ever struggling, including reading/writing large amounts when editing my photos/videos in e.g. Lightroom etc. It does become warm to the touch when used for long periods, but given this comes with such a long warranty… I really hope that the stated quality and ruggedness match the performance in reality. I think they will.

This SSD stopped getting mounted on Mac 3 days after delivery. Amazon washed its hands off saying “7 days service center” replacement. Key word there is service center. Amazon won’t replace. Now I am chasing Micron and hoping to get lucky. Feel dumb burning 25K for Crucial instead of Samsung.

Crucial X9 Pro 4TB Portable SSD proved to be a disaster. Despite formatting to APFS, it’s persistently unreliable. Disk Utility couldn’t repair it, making it unusable for serious work or backup. Crucial’s customer support is non-existent. Their website offers little troubleshooting, and their service center is unresponsive. The phone numbers are inactive, making it impossible to reach anyone. Their firmware update tool requires a CD-ROM drive, which is inconvenient for M-series Apple Silicon Macs. Amazon customer service was equally frustrating. They insisted on a “certificate of defect” from Crucial’s unresponsive service center, which is unreasonable and impossible to obtain. With a 5-year warranty and service center numbers that don’t work or answer the phone, it’s ridiculous. I eventually got a refund after much back-and-forth. I strongly advise anyone considering this drive, especially Mac users, to avoid it at all costs. This experience has severely damaged my trust in Crucial.

Speed issues aside I’ve something no one will warn you about. The Underbelly of the product is made of a rubber lid. In the pictures the top metal side is shown, but opposite is a rubber lid, not a rubber coated metal/plastic but molded out of a rubber block.
In a couple of months the rubber will become gunky and oily, and you’ll end up with a product whose one side is corrupted. The Serial Number and Barcode are printed on the rubber itself. So with the upper surface the codes will also get removed with time.
I received a new 4 tb product with the rubber side gunky and sticky. After knocking my head around quite a while in the service center a good customer care guy from Amazon helped me return and get rid of it, Literally Dodged a Bullet.
Didn’t even use it, so I cant confirm on the speed. but BEWARE

Completely failed after 6 weeks of use. Spending hours to recover the files that hadn’t been backed up elsewhere. Would not recommend at all. Amazon thankfully giving full refund, but still stressful with loss of files. In trying to rectify the issue (disk recovery does not work), I found online that this is a common issue. My advice stick to Samsung t7 which is what I wish I did.

Die Crucial X9 Pro externe SSD ist ein beeindruckendes Speichermedium, das durch Geschwindigkeit, Vielseitigkeit und robustes Design überzeugt.

Kompatibilität: Die breite Unterstützung für Windows, Mac, Android, iPad, PC, Linux sowie PlayStation und Xbox macht sie zu einem vielseitigen Begleiter. Das Plug-and-Play-Feature funktioniert einwandfrei. Das beiliegende USB-C-Kabel ist praktisch, wobei ein USB-C-auf-USB-A-Adapter separat erworben werden muss.
Robustheit und Schutz: Mit IP55-Zertifizierung ist die SSD staub- und spritzwassergeschützt. Die Stoßfestigkeit bis zu 2 Metern ist ein großes Plus für den mobilen Einsatz, sei es im Büro, auf Reisen oder sogar beim Wandern.
Sicherheit: Die integrierte 256-Bit AES-Hardwareverschlüsselung bietet ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit für sensible Daten. Besonders für berufliche Nutzer, die oft unterwegs sind, ist der Passwortschutz ein entscheidendes Feature.
Design und Verarbeitung: Das kompakte Format (65 x 50 mm) und die eloxierte Aluminiumoberfläche in Kombination mit einer gummierten Soft-Touch-Basis verleihen der SSD ein hochwertiges und gleichzeitig robustes Gefühl. Die integrierte Aktivitäts-LED und das Schlüsselbandloch sind nützliche Details.
