It's not any better on the 2TB either on basically every review site.
Crucial is generally regarded positively for their flash storage and memory, but it's also possible this specific line of devices is less reliable. The SM2320 controller used on this is also used on several similar products, which would otherwise mean potential issues with firmware or with the NAND itself, but again harder for me to speak to generally. I previously had a Sandisk Extreme Pro external ssd and didn't have issues, but later saw folks have issues with the same drive, while I used to view Samsung drives pretty favorably, but have seen articles about various lines of their drives having issues in recent years as well.
Specifically on this drive, I did start looking a bit more and am reading that the exFAT format it comes with by default has given folks issues for Macs/iOS. It looks like general recommendations for reformatting to APFS helped some people in those cases, but personally don't have a Mac so I can't speak to how much that contributes to what's experienced for failures.

If you're looking for something like this and your system does not support this standard, the X9 Pro variant is 10Gbps and is usually cheaper on sale than the X10 Pro (Around $30 on average) since you cant take full advantage of the faster speed standard.

I used to think BH was a top tier vendor as well but years ago, I stopped purchasing from them after learning they remove negative reviews of products. I think it's been almost 5 years since I stopped buying from them. Your experience may vary.
