Crucial X6 USB SSD
PROS
• Ergonomic design.
• Good everyday performance. • Very affordable for an external SSD.
CONS
• Performance tanks when cache runs out.
BOTTOM LINE
The Crucial X6 Portable SSD is a solid value in all but its highest 4TB capacity. Faster USB and Thunderbolt drives are certainly available, but the X6 offers good performance and good design for the price. How many drives sit so comfortably in your pocket that you forget they’re there?
