A recent review from Anandtech has this comparable or better than the popular Samsung T7 drive.

Every couple of years I get a new portable HDD with more space and I upload everything from my previous HDD onto it while holding onto the original as a backup. This will be my first large portable SSD
Anandtech says the X9 is TLC, same as the X10. The lower end X6 and X8 are listed as QLC.
Why is that better than the t7? 7 ft on a carpet is a shorter distance onto a softer surface than 3 m to metal plate.

Can you use this for sentry in Tesla ?

Seems like overkill for a Tesla. I've been running 512gb ssd for several years and I can still go back and view files from a month ago.

​shipping after 1-2 months. Not sure how/why this is NOT a concern for those who liked this deal.

Then Amazon would probably cancel your order waiting 2months. It's what they do.

Just received it today from Amazon. Some initial impressions:

The drive is super small, about the same footprint as my AirPods Pro case and half as thick. I also like the lanyard loop on the corner. The included USB-C to C cable is about 8 inches long end to end.

I formatted the drive to APFS and transferred about 100GB of RAW photos from my M1 MacBook Air. It took less than 2 minutes and sustained 860MB/sec the whole time. Formatting to APFS encrypted and transferring the same files slowed it down to 760MB/sec.

Costco sold the Sandisk Extreme, not the Extreme Pro which is the subject of data loss and lawsuits. It now sells the Extreme Go that is another model.
So confusing.
To verify what you stated, am I safe with my recent purchase of a SanDisk Extreme Go 1TB from Costco?

There are at least 3 lawsuits and the 3 linked below all include buyers of the Extreme (in addition to the Extreme Pro). Western Digital itself has admitted that the Extreme 4GB was also defective.

I don't think anyone outside of WD can say until the lawsuits play out. But I personally would stay away.

I really like the small size of this Crucial drive, but after reading the 1-star reviews I'm going to pass and wait for the next deal on a Samsung drive.

Your drive is a newer model, so not on the list of problem drives. The current belief is that the problem was a design flaw using components that were too big. Sandisk tried to fix the problem with extra epoxy and a firmware update. However, the newest Pro-G40 model has also been reported as failing. The real question is if anyone wants to trust Sandisk SSDs now. Hard to say until all the facts are known.
