  • PositiveErgonomic design
  • PositiveGood everyday performance
  • PositiveFavourable for an external SSD
  • NegativePerformance drops when the cache is empty

The Crucial X6 Portable SSD offers solid value for money. There are much faster USB and Thunderbolt drives, but the Crucial X6 combines good performance and good design for an attractive price. The Crucial model is also ideal to take with you thanks to its compact dimensions. How many drives can you fit so comfortably in your pocket?

  • NegativeSlow after cache write is exhausted during sustained workloads

Crucial's X6 is an affordable and very portable USB Type-C SSD that dishes out fast and responsive performance, but its relatively small cache results in reduced performance during larger sustained data transfers.
