Crucial X6 2TB Portable SSD

The Crucial X6 is a 2 TB external solid-state drive that connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and delivers sequential read speeds up to 800 MBps. It weighs less than 0.09 lb and measures 2.72 by 2.52 by 0.43 inches, making it small enough to carry in a pocket. The package includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C to Type-C cable and a quick-start guide.

Who this suits and who it does not

This drive suits users who need a lightweight, high-capacity portable drive for Windows, macOS, Android or iPad Pro and who can use a USB-C connection. Buyers who need a USB-A connection will require a separate adapter. Console owners using a PS4 or Xbox One also need that adapter. Anyone who requires sustained write speeds above the rated read figure or hardware encryption should look at a different product.

Deciding specification: USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface. It sets the maximum 800 MBps read speed and dictates which hosts can connect without an extra adapter. If your device only offers USB-A ports, you must add a separate adapter to use this drive.

Questions about this item

How does the 800 MB/s read speed translate to everyday file transfers on this drive?

The 800 MB/s sequential read rate means large media files and project folders copy to the Crucial X6 2TB in a fraction of the time a mechanical drive needs, though real-world speed depends on the host port and file mix.

What does the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface limit in practice?

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connection caps the Crucial X6 at 10 Gb/s, so the 800 MB/s read ceiling is the practical maximum you will see on any compatible Windows, Mac, Android or iPad Pro device.

Will the 2.72 x 2.52 x 0.43 inch enclosure fit in a tight laptop bag pocket?

At 2.72 inches wide, 2.52 inches deep and only 0.43 inches high, the Crucial X6 2TB slips into a shirt pocket or the narrow sleeve of a laptop bag without adding noticeable bulk.
