1TB USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Portable SSD

The Crucial X10 is a 1TB external solid-state drive that connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 2100 MBps for fast file transfers. The drive is built with an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance and can survive drops from up to 3 metres. It works plug-and-play with Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPad, Xbox and PlayStation.

Suits creators and gamers needing rugged speed

Photographers, videographers and gamers who move large libraries between devices will benefit from the 2100 MBps read performance and the durable enclosure. The drive stores up to 510 hours of video or 500000 4K images. Users whose computers only provide older USB ports will not reach the advertised throughput. Buyers who need more than 1TB of capacity should select a higher-capacity model in the same series.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface determines peak speed

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connection. It enables the maximum 2100 MBps sequential read rate. Systems limited to USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB 3.0 will operate at lower speeds. No internal installation or alternative protocol is supported by this portable design.

Questions about this item

Does the X10 1TB get hot or noisy during long transfers?

The drive has no moving parts and is passively cooled, so it stays silent; sustained workloads may warm the metal enclosure but it is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance.

What port and cable are needed to reach 2100 MBps on the X10 1TB?

A USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port and the included USB-C cable are required; slower ports will work but limit throughput.

Will the X10 1TB work with my older USB 3.0 Type-A laptop?

Yes, it is backward compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 via a suitable adapter or cable, though speeds will fall to the host port's maximum.
