About Crucial X9 2TB Portable SSD
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
70% appreciated the ample storage capacity, though 30% found it limited
After filling the drive to 50% capacity, I got a write speed of ~900MB/s for the first 5gb-10gb.
The seller is mislabeling a 1 TB drive as 2 TB, which is an outright scam.
As the available space decreases, my writing speed also decreases.
Large size files copy over quickly and easily, but several small size files took forever to copy.
71% appreciated its wide compatibility, though 29% encountered issues with their device
The external solid state drive is an invaluable companion for work and leisure, perfect for storing my extensive photo library, video projects, and important documents.
I expected it to work right away but had to format it to work with my Mac studio with the M2 chip.
On my personal computer, the SSD does not work.
I am dissatisfied with the product's compatibility with Mac machines. It requires a firmware update to work correctly, which I believe does not make it Mac compatible.

70% praised its rugged and durable design, though 30% experienced damage after a drop
I have experienced that this external solid-state drive is not durable and loses all its content within a few months of use.
71% praised for its fast data transfer speeds, while 29% experienced slow loading times
After a couple of months, the external solid-state drive's performance deteriorates and I am unable to fully recover it.
When the SLC cache on this QLC drive fills up, the drive's performance falls off a cliff.
This SSD is my worst performing one.
