1TB portable SSD with USB-C

The Crucial X6 CT1000X6SSD9 is a 1TB external solid-state drive that connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 800 MBps and weighs less than 0.09 lb. The drive measures 2.72 by 2.52 by 0.43 inches and fits between your fingertips. A USB 3.2 Gen-2 Type-C to Type-C cable and a quick-start guide are included in the box.

Suits mobile creators and console gamers

This drive works with Windows, macOS, Android and iPad Pro without extra hardware. PS4 and Xbox One owners can also use it, though a USB-A adapter is required and sold separately. Buyers who need sustained write performance for heavy video editing or who want more storage than 1TB should look at other options.

Plug in and go

Installation is a simple cable connection; no drivers or external power are needed. The most common issue is attempting to plug the Type-C cable into a USB-A port without the separate adapter, which will not fit. Ensure the host device supplies enough bus power for the drive to appear correctly.

Questions about this item

Will the included USB-C cable work with my USB-A laptop port without an extra adapter?

The box contains a USB 3.2 Gen-2 Type-C to Type-C cable; a USB-A adapter is sold separately for older ports.

Can I plug this drive into my PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles directly?

Both consoles are listed as compatible, but each requires the separate USB-A adapter because they lack USB-C ports.

After formatting, how can I verify the drive reaches the advertised 800 MB/s read speed?

Run a sequential read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port and confirm results approach 800 MB/s.
