Review: Fast, Small, Perfect for my PC Backups... Go For the Gold - I don't know why but the gold color was quite a bit less than the other colors. I'll take that! The drive is plug and play. I set it up with my backup software and I'm doing a weekly full is a few minutes and daily differentials in seconds. Compared to my old mech drive, a full backup took over an hour. I'm using the drive with an SP9 which I don't think uses the full drive speed so it's a bit future proof. The storage capacity means I can keep 3 or 4 weeks of full/differential backups on a drive. That's calculated, so far only 2 weeks but plenty of space left. I'm powering it directly from the USB-C port of the SP9. It's detected quickly. Not sure if it's necessary but I use the eject function in the system tray before disconnecting it. It fits perfectly into the side pocket of my neoprene SP9 envelope with room to spare.
Review: Amazing! Hands down the best, fastest and most reliable SSD that I have ever owned. - Absolutely hands down the best external SSD that I have ever owned. It's blazing fast, reliable, very portable and holds a ton of media. It's so fast that you can plug it directly into your Mac or PC and edit videos straight from the SSD. I do a lot of data recovery, system backups and restores for my tech clients and this drive is so fast that I have actually decreased my processing time by more than triple of what it use to take. I now own 3 of these and will definitely be buying more.

**Q: I'm soooo not tech savvy.  Can I partition to back up files and to store Macbook Air files?**
A: Hello,

Thank you for your question, I am sharing some step to install SSD on Macbook air system.

How to partition an external SSD on a Mac
Step 1: Connect the Crucial X10 pro SSD to your computer
Connect your X10 pro or X9 pro to your Mac with the enclosed USB-C cable. If your Mac only has a USB-A port, you'll need to use a USB-A adapter (included with the Crucial X10 pro, sold separately or bundled with the X6).

Step 2: Open Disk Utility
Using Finder, go to applications, then utilities, then open Disk Utility.

Step 3: Create the first partition
Select Drive, then select the “create partition” option.

Step 4: Name the new partition
Create a name for the new storage location (such as “X9 pro Backup” or “X10 pro Backup”).

Step 5: Select a filesystem type
Select a filesystem type from the options (APFS works well for backing up files).

Step 6: Select a size for the new storage location
Choose the amount of storage space you want to allocate to the new partition. For example, if you want to split a 1TB X10 pro Crucial SSD into two equal partitions, choose 500GB.

Step 7: Create the second partition
Click the plus sign (+) to create the second partition.

Step 8: Set up your second partition
Repeat previous steps to name (such as Crucial X10 pro transfers), size, and create a filesystem type for the second partition. (exFAT works well as a read/write filesystem type and is compatible with both Mac and PC.)

Step 9: Complete
Hit “Apply” when prompted. After, a warning will alert you that all current files will be deleted from the X10 pro. Select “Partition.” Two storage locations (in this case, Crucial X10 pro backup and Crucial X10 pro transfers) will appear on the desktop.

Conclusion
Hopefully this guide will help you set up your Crucial portable SSD and get the most out of your device.

### ⭐ Ya gotta be an IT specialist-2025 update-this company is terrible.
*by G***G on January 9, 2024*

First of all....I'm an older gent who knows enough about this stuff to utilize digital life and love it. This SSD is fast and small. I thought the price was great for 4TB. The downside is twofold thus far.... 1.) This drive disconnects and reconnects a few times an hour all on its' own. It doesn't matter if it is sitting or being used. It doesn't feel hot and is not the cable. 2.) Getting some kind of encryption on this to protect the data is a nightmare. I've downloaded the Storage Executive software and while it is comprehensive in its' scope, and mentions encryption, there is no way to simply password protect this drive. Crucial sends me to Bitlocker but it doesn't handshake and I'm tired of reading endless MS forums to sort this out. Do I need "Bitlocker to Go"? Do I need to have "MS10 Pro edition" to simply get this damned thing encrypted? It's maddening that Crucial simply can't make this easy. I have used WD drives for years and they are bulletproof plug and play in this regard. I'm going back as I am quickly losing faith in this drive. 3.) I wrote tech support, let's see what happens tomorrow if they will redeem themselves. I think if I was 30 years old and could navigate all the jargon with drives etc. I might stand a chance but why would anyone go through this nonsense? 10-10-2024......Still waiting for the encryption software I was promised for this drive. On top of that the drive is now disconnecting and reconnecting by itself while remaining docked to my computer. I regret buying this SSD and will stick with Samsung or WD next time. Crucial needs to do what they say they will, it's not worth saving a few bucks and spend so much time screwing with this. 2/14/2025 Here I am still trying to get an SSD out of this company that actually works. I spent a lot of time following their directions with reformats, Executive and disk analysis. They finally issued an RMA and I sent it back to them in the required timeframe. Now they have accepted it and tell me they have no stock with which to replace my defective unit. Funny how the encryption software FINALLY comes out after waiting over a year and now I don't have a drive. I would just like my money back and be done with this company. 3/7/2025 I just downgraded my rating to one star based on my experience with this comapny. Why Amazon shows this as an "Amazon Choice" is beyond me. It is going on 2 years and I still don't have a drive that works with no definitive time I can expect to have it replaced. They have my drive now for months and I have spent dozens of hours with tech support trying to manage the drive before I sent it in. Today, I asked for a refund. I have lost all faith in this POS comapny and their drives. My drive hasn't worked properly from day one and all I get is jerked around by Micron. They send me endless internal memos until I got angry and told them to stop. The day another replacement drive shows up and fails is the day my head explodes with this company. I am going to ask Amazon to intervene at this point . It just figures when they FINALLY come out with encryption software I don't have a drive to use it on. Honestly, these people suck.
