6 TB likely has a QLC drive and this 4 TB Pro has a TLC drive inside. Crucial doesn't specify the drive inside the X10 (non-Pro), but they do specify for x9 Pro drive. And the higher speed is only for PCs equipped with USB 3.2 gen 2x2 ports and not for regular 3.2 ports and that speed is not supported on ANY of the Macs.

It's the lowest Amazon price since Black Friday 2023. I don't expect it to get lower.

I've found that if a return or exchange is needed, Amazon has a 30-day period without a restocking fee, while Best Buy has a 15-day period with a restocking fee.

Price per Terabyte is good, the read/write speed is bad. I won't 'thumb' this either way, but I will say for very similar money you can get the Western Digital blue SSD in the 4 Terabyte version for $199 which is the same capacity of this drive, then throw it into any $10 (m.2) external enclosure and match the speeds listed on this drive while matching the capacity with a faster reusable/universal drive.
You tell me, is spending $10 more for this or the same capacity for a faster drive a better deal?
