Today we will present you our second portable SSD from Crucial, which is available on the market since a few weeks ago. The portable SSD is simply called X8, and it’s one of the fastest portable SSD we can buy in stores. It also offers huge capacities up to 2TB, and support for all devices with USB connections, including PC, MacOS, PS4 and Xbox One.
We previously reviewed the Crucial X6 2TB portable SSD, which made a good impression on us, so there is a high expectation on the X8 model to perform better.
Let’s start with some technical data and product features while later, we will show more interesting test results.
