This thing is a million times better than those usb thumb drives or microsd cards.
They are actually also very small and easy to carry around, I have a few of them and love them.
I've pretty much abandoned all my usb sticks, no matter how high end they are, they cannot even touch the perormance and reliability of a real ssd like this one.

I ordered the X9 Pro and while it's physically smaller than the Samsung T7, I think I prefer the full metal body of the Samsung, it just feels better built. And the pricing and performance are similar between the two. Also the Samsung includes a USBA and USBC cable, whereas this only includes an even shorter USBC.

I didn't know anyone tried to compare a thumb drive or SD card to an SSD. That's like comparing my Camry to a 911 and saying "the Camry cannot touch the performance of a real sports car."

Quote from Thrivehi5 :
GPT says the X9 Pro has a TLC (Triple-Layer Cell) NAND Type. This is notch above the base X9 which has a QLC (Quad-Layer Cell) NAND type. NAND affects Performance, Endurance and Cost. Aside from the hardware encryption, casing and NAND type, is this going to be durable drive for photographic read/writes?
The key in your data strategy is redundancy. You should assume that all storage WILL fail at some point, and plan accordingly. At a minimum you should be syncing to a cloud provider (onedrive/google/backblaze/whatever) and local physical media.

The V6 Camry had over 300 horsepower before it got canceled

Sure. But no one cares about a 5.1 second 0-60 when we're interested in talking about a 2.8 second 0-60 and a sub 7 minte Nuburging time. The Porche is literally a production car that is faster than the Toyota Camry NASCAR variant at the most grueling track in the world. Some might argue that point, I can also buy Circuit de la Sarthe but IMHO that one is more grueling due to duration than do to the track. Similarly Toyota can make the GR010 (such an amazing vehicle) and a Camry, Samsung can make a USB drive and the 990 Pro.

They all do "some unit of speed per second" but there is clearly an abundance of education lacking on the topic if you expect SSD performance from a microSD or expect 911 driving experience from a Camry.

Is this a good option for PS5?
No you need to install an NVME gen 4 SSD with a heat sink directly into the PS5.

Any good for portable for Xbox X Series or PS 5 to actually run games off of and not just storage??
No PS5 needs an NVME gen 4 SSD with heatsink installed internally and Xbox only works with proprietary SSD card that you insert into the Xbox.

This would work to store games and move to internal which is much faster than re-downloading them. You can play older non series Xbox games from this, not sure about PS, but for new games can only store.

Came here to say this exact thing. A single drive should never be depended on for critical information. Use multiple single drives for the same information, use a NAS with multiple drives mirrored, use cloud storage if you have anything that is important. Something with redundancy.

I read a review about a photographer being upset at how this drive no longer mounts and lost all high profile photos. It's tough to recover from.

When it comes to data failure, it's a matter of when, not if. Prepare accordingly.

Couple hundred bucks and you can build a basic 2 drive mirrored NAS. Totally worth the price to have data redundancy in a failure.

Using this drive to work off of would be great, don't use it as your sole source of archival storage.

I grabbed one of these (in addition to the Costco Sandisk I already had). Love the form factor and the activity LED.

Sandisk 2tb is $120 in store at Costco (I bought one yesterday). Same speeds, plus it's Costco if you have problems.https://www.costco.com/SanDisk%20...9578.html?
This Crucial is smaller though. May be a valuable feature to some.

I just purchased 4TB X10 Pro for $10 more, i.e. $220 after price match with Best Buy over the chat. Took about 15 mins

4TB is $209 on BB
Better to spend $10 more and get 4 TB X10 Pro. I got it in $220 from BB after price match request with Microcenter.
