Our take on the Crucial X9 Portable CT1000X9SSD9 1TB

The Crucial X9 is a pocket-sized external SSD with 1TB of storage and a USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection rated at up to 1,050 MB/s sequential reads. It is aimed at people who move large files between laptops, phones and consoles and want a small, drop-resistant drive without paying for the faster X10. Reviewers rate it as a solid everyday drive, though it is slower than the X10 and the 10 Gb/s link means real-world transfers fall well short of the headline figure on some machines.

Questions and answers

Is the Crucial X9 fast enough for video editing?
It can handle proxy editing and moving footage, but sustained writes are slower than its reads. For heavy 4K editing, a faster drive like the X10 is a better fit.
Does it work with a PS5 or Xbox?
Yes, it can store and play games from the console's USB port. Load times are longer than the internal drive, so keep current games on the console.
Does it work with an iPhone or Android phone?
Yes, over USB-C, and it can record directly to the drive in some camera apps. Very old phones with micro-USB need an adapter.
What comes in the box?
The drive and a USB-C cable. There is no USB-A adapter, so older laptops need one.
How does it compare with the Crucial X10?
The X10 is roughly twice as fast on paper and costs more. The X9 is the better pick if you mostly back up and move files rather than edit from the drive.
Is it shock resistant?
It has no moving parts, so it shrugs off drops that would damage a hard drive. It is not officially rated waterproof.
