Sometimes you just need a little bit extra while on the go, and you don’t want to be stuck in the past using an old, rickety external hard drive like we’ve come to get used to over the last decade or so. Luckily for you, SSDs are now on the table for external storage solutions, and you’ll pretty much never need to worry about jostling it around in your bag and losing data. This Crucial X6 1TB Portable SSD is the ideal solution for anyone wanting to take their storage on the go, and not break the bank while doing so, in addition to having some respectable specs that’ll not leave you wanting.
Topping out in terms of transfer speeds at 540MB/s, the only possible way you’ll get a faster external storage device is if you were using an NVMe over USB Type-C, but for most applications such as taking photos or editing video on the go, this 1TB SSD should be able to do you absolutely fine with a pebble-like form factor and boasting a Type-C Output, so you’re able to ensure that you’ll be getting the fastest possible speeds while transferring data on the go, which is pretty crucial (no pun intended, honest) if you’re using it for work, or while on holiday. This drive appears to be a SATA-based solution, just based on what we’ve seen the transfer speed maxing out to, but you’ll also be able to use this external SSD for adequate use on your games consoles, expanding the paltry storage found on the Playstation 5 or Xbox Series S, which we find needing more storage almost constantly. You will also be able to use this external SSD in order to take media on the go and plug it into your iPad, Phone, or whatever your preferred media consumption device is. Purporting shock absorption technology, you can be assured that this device is about as rugged as it is fast.
