What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Price/gb for the performance is unparalleled. Bought this to replace an external hdd for my ps4 after long loading times. Nothing i’ve seen is faster than the internal drive on that machine (5,600 mb/sec) moved 20gb of data in mere seconds.
Crucial x8 ssd series are amazing drives. Tested on both a 2021 14 macbook pro m1 pro & 2021 16 macbookpro m1 max computers. Hooked this amazingly fast and small in footprint external ssd to my ipad air 4 &. M1 mac. Use this as a backup for my ... Read More
Cons

K surface pro 4 laptop got 17kb/s, ca 50,000 slower transfer than claimed. I understand these drives have a cache to help boost performance but either it’s too small for my audio needs (writing for audio recording) or otherwise this “new model” still ... Read More

In ye olden days, gaming off an external was as laughable as it was painful, this thing actually allows me to game on a laptop ... Read More
Price
It was on sale so i got it for about half price.
Shipping
I was downloading ark survival evolved and the write speed was so incredibly fast i’ve never seen numbers like this before.
The transfer rate when moving games from drive to the other is also very fast.
Packaging/appearance
The usba-c adapter seem jinky as when using, the ps5 can't reliably see the external (caused drive to corrupt twice before usin... Read More
Competitiveness

Now keep in mind they provide us with a 6-inch cable which is ridiculously short.
I have a 10gbps cable that works fine with other devices on my 20 gpbs usb-c port, but it fails with these drives.
