Crucial is a global brand of Micron Technology, Inc., one of the largest memory and flash storage manufacturers in the world. The company's product lineup includes award-winning solid state drives (SSDs) and computer memory upgrades (DRAM) for more than 50,000 systems. These products have been qualified and approved by major original equipment manufacturers and every single module has been rigorously tested at the component and module level. Each SSD also undergoes over a thousand hours of prerelease validation testing and hundreds of qualification tests to ensure optimal reliability and performance.
Crucial recently added two new portable SSDs to its Pro Series line of products. In addition to the more prosumer-oriented X9 Pro, the company released the X10 Pro. Designed for those who crave performance and portability, this palm-sized drive is made out of anodized aluminum, is water and dust resistant (IP55) and can withstand accidental drops of up to 7.5 feet. On the inside, the X10 Pro is powered by Silicon Motion's SM2320 controller and is available with up to 4TB of Micron's TLC NAND flash. The drive is also equipped with a USB 3.1 Gen 2x2 Type-C interface that can transfer data at speeds up to 2,100 MB/s, which is nearly twice that of its sibling, the X9 Pro. To top it all off, the X10 Pro works with Windows, Mac, Android, iPad, Linux, PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles.
The X10 Pro is available in 1TB, 2TB and 4TB capacities. For this review, Crucial sent us the 2TB version of the drive which is capable of delivering up to 2,100 MB/s sequential read and 2,000 MB/s sequential write speeds.
