Crucial X6 2TB UBS-C Portable External Solid State

I'm using this to download and run games off steam/store some streams for editing on. Works well with Mac, most likely PC as well! Very small and easy to travel with.

Used for traveling as a back up drive to store all my photos and videos, works perfectly!

These are the only ones I can get to work flawlessly on my MacBooks

Over all nice product only con is not having the usb to type c adaptor included in the box. There is a huge difference in speed if connected with the phones cable.

This 4tb external SSD was about 60% more expensive than comparable external HDs, but it offers a free really key advantages. It's very tiny. I looked at the pictures, but I still didn't get just how tiny it actually is. I love that it takes up virtually no space and can be easily transported in a pocket. You could put it in that little pocket in your jeans. It doesn't need a separate power cord. This is actually my favorite feature. One less cord on my desk it always a great deal. It's much faster than an external HD. I'm connecting to an older iMac, which only has USB 2, but if I ever connect it to my laptop I'll be able to take advantage of USB-C speeds. Compared to an HD, it also doesn't have to spin up, which takes my previous western digital HD up to v 10 seconds, so I'm still seeing a nice speed boost. There are bigger, faster SSDs, but I will take the small speed hit for the size advantage. I did not have to format for Mac, as some reviewers said. Mine came in exfat, which is compatible between both. SSDs are much more reliable than HDs, in both longevity and shock resistance. This SSD is small enough to easily transport, which means you have to consider dropping it (or stopping whatever bag it's in). SSDs withstand about 50x more shock than HDs (~1500g vs ~30g). It's quieter and uses less power than an HD.
