Crucial X8 External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 2TB Portable SSD

The Crucial CT2000X8SSD9 is a solid state drive that combines 2TB of capacity with quick USB 3.2 Gen 2 performance, giving you a practical way to move large files, back up projects, or expand a game library without waiting around. Read speeds can reach up to 1050 MB/s, so transferring a multi-gigabyte video or booting a portable game installation feels almost instant.

Connection is straightforward. The drive arrives with a USB-C to USB-C cable for today’s laptops, tablets, and phones, plus a USB-C to USB-A adapter for older ports on desktops and game consoles. Out of the box it is formatted in exFAT, which most operating systems—including Windows, macOS, Android, iPadOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox—recognize immediately. No additional software is required; just plug in and start using the extra space.

Content creators will appreciate how the X8 keeps up with RAW photo bursts or 4K video edits on location, while gamers can install titles directly to the drive and free up internal storage on a console. Commuters can carry work files securely between office and home, and travelers can store entire movie libraries for long flights.

A unibody aluminum core acts as a heat sink and adds rigidity, helping the enclosure survive accidental drops, vibration during travel, and temperature swings from studio to campsite. Crucial backs the drive with a three-year limited warranty for added peace of mind.

Lightweight, resilient, and ready for a wide mix of devices, the Crucial X8 makes portable high-speed storage simple to add and easy to trust.
