Introduction
Crucial X10 Pro Portable SSD NVMe USB 3.2 Gen2
High-Capacity, Superb-Performance External SSD for Efficient StorageThe portable Crucial X10 Pro External SSD delivers read and write speeds up to 2 GB/s and provides storage capacities of up to 4TB. It offers a versatile storage solution, boasting compatibility with multiple platforms, including Windows, Mac, and Android. The Crucial X10 Pro joins the small crowd of portable SSDs supporting the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps).
That’s because the standard itself hasn’t taken off — it was first available over two years ago — mostly because the 10Gbps ceiling speed of the USB 3.2 Gen 2 is fast enough for most situations and is the current mainstream peripheral connection together with the 5Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1
Distinct from traditional hard disk drives, the Crucial X10 Pro operates without any moving components, which enhances its durability for preserving files, photographs, and multimedia content. Its performance metrics indicate efficiency compared to many portable SSDs and external HDDs, thereby optimizing task completion times. Designed with features such as a metal finish and water resistance, the Crucial X9 Pro provides comprehensive data management solutions. Rigorous testing has been conducted on platforms ranging from PCs, Macs, to Android devices and gaming consoles. With the rise of cloud storage, direct storage remains pivotal for certain large files, such as high-bitrate videos. The Crucial X9 Pro presents an efficient solution for users preferring immediate access to their data without incurring recurring costs.
