We’vecovered the Crucial X6 beforein its gargantuan 4TB configuration, so I’ll quickly run through the pros and cons of this particular model.

First, this is a small, compact SSD whose non-mechanical flash memory makes it resistant to drops, shocks, knocks and magnets. Despite being scarcely bigger than a pack of cards, it has 1TB of fast NVMe-grade SSD storage, with read speeds up to 800MB/s. That makes it faster than the launch model that debuted in 2021, which topped out around 500MB/s - around the speed of slower SATA SSDs. With a 10Gbps USB-C connection, it feels just as responsive as an internal drive, although the USB connection does add a touch of access time latency if you break out the measurement tools.
