Review on 💨 Crucial X8 500GB Portable SSD: High-Speed 1050MB/s, USB-C & USB-A Connectivity by Adewole Sherman

I used mine as a backup drive for my MacBook and to put it simply it's not great. First, as you may have read from other reviews, Cache really is what it is. This drive would be fine if you're only transferring small to medium sized files, but should be avoided for large files like backups. Initially it has good speeds, but then it starts to drop and not only does it get unbearably hot.
