Crucial X9 Pro Portable SSD for Mac, 2TB, USB-C 3.1

In Leistungstests liefern beide Modelle ein gutes Bild ab. Die neuen Komponenten im Inneren verweisen die Vorgängergeneration (X6/X8) auf die hinteren Plätze. Die X9 Pro eignet sich dabei für nahezu alle Anwendungen, denen ihr im Alltag begegnen werdet.

Today’s review made 2 things clear, 1st that current portable SSDs are still fast enough to cover the majority of users out there and 2nd that there’s not much “variety” in regards to portable SSD controllers currently in the market. Phison just like Silicon Motion has an USB 3.2 Gen2x2 controller available (actually i think they have 2?) but for reasons I’m not aware that’s not what storage manufacturers are choosing to go with lately (although cost is what it all comes down to in the end). With that small parenthesis out of the way there’s no doubt that the SM2320G controller by Silicon Motion together with 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash by Micron delivers as advertised and that’s what really matters. In terms of size well both the X9 Pro and X10 Pro can easily fit in your pocket and as for build quality although not rugged the anodized aluminum enclosures should handle pretty much anything.

The Crucial X9 Pro is designed for performance-seeking creators who need a fast and light portable SSD to store photos and videos. The X9 Pro is Crucial’s newest portable SSD release alongside the more powerful X10 Pro.
