The Crucial X8's burst performance rivals even the highest-end USB 3.2 Gen 2 portable SSDs on the market, so it offers a lot of value for those in search of a high capacity SSD with cheaper QLC flash.
Pros
+ Low cost per GB
+ Competitive performance
+ Large write cache
+ Removable cable and USB-C to USB-A adapter included
+ Low heat output
Cons
- Slow write speed after write cache fills
- Lacks encryption support

Crucial's X8 writes fast, and the 2TB model comes with a moderately-sized 280GB SLC cache. After writing to the device for roughly four and a half minutes, write performance plummeted from 1,050MBps down to an average of 180MBps.
So because I write large files in large amounts, this https://slickdeals.net/f/16209196-4tb-crucial-mx500-3d-nand-2-5-sata-solid-state-drive-270-free-shipping?attrsr
in an external enclosure might be better? About half as fast for short writes, but never drops below 400MBps even for loooong writes. That's my understanding anyway. Just depends on your needs.
