  • Abstract:  This tiny thing is the Crucial X8, a 4TB USB C SSD that's slim enough to fit comfortably in your pocket, yet carry more storage than most gaming PCs have in total. Not bad, right? Let's take a look at it and see how it performs – and compares to just putt...

  • Low cost per GB, Competitive performance, Large write cache, Removable cable and USB-C to USB-A adapter included, Low heat output,
  • Slow write speed after write cache fills, Lacks encryption support
  • The Crucial X8's burst performance rivals even the highest-end USB 3.2 Gen 2 portable SSDs on the market, so it offers a lot of value for those in search of a high capacity SSD with cheaper QLC flash...

  • Sturdy chassis, Stylish design, Blistering performance, Excellent compatibility, 3-year warranty, Good value
  • USB Type-A adaptor easy to lose, No included backup software
  • All things considered, Crucial's efforts on the X8 Portable SSD are very good, with few negatives to counter that.Kicking off with the chassis, not only does it look really good, with its curved, pebble-like shape, it's also very sturdy thanks to the rubb...

  • For those with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, the Crucial X8 is truly a no-brainer. It's about the same price, or slightly cheaper than the WD My Passport SSD 1TB, but potentially more than twice as fast.And, while it doesn't come with any encryption software, it...

  • Fast, Robust, Type-A and Type-C connections
  • Needs a port some users don't have, No encryption
  • The Crucial X8 is a beautifully made device that blends functionality with style and even sports abuse resistance. It's also very affordable considering the 1TB capacity and high transfer speeds of a device that you can carry in a pocket.The snag, and it'...

  • Top performance, Reasonable price, High quality, High compatibility, Low operating temperature
  • Nothing worth mentioning,
  • The Crucial X8 4TB is the perfect SSD for all users who need fast and secure portable storage. The 4TB capacity is more than enough for most users, and those who need to carry a lot of data every day, will love it for its versatility and small size. It's...

  • Crucial's X8 portable SSD is a must-have for anyone that needs to keep a large amount of data with them, and can't wait around all day for it to transfer from devices. In fact, the X8 is fast enough that you can work directly from it without having to tra...
