THE X8 4TB

The enclosure of the X8 Portable SSD is made out of aluminum and rubber, weighs roughly 98g and measures 110mm in length, 53mm in width and 11.5mm in height.

As always to have a better idea about the size of the portable SSD in my hands i placed the Crucial X8 right next to the Mushkin CarbonX, Lexar Blaze SL660, Sabrent Rocket-XTRMQ and Rocket Nano Rugged.

The capacity of the X8 is printed at the rear along with numerous certifications.

Crucial has placed the USB-C port on the far right side of the drive.

Opening enclosure is not hard so let's see what's inside.

On the top side of the PCB, we find the Phison SM2251-17 controller together with two Micron 176-layer 3D QLC NAND flash modules (1024GB in capacity each).

Moving on the opposite side we just find two more Micron 176-layer 3D QLC NAND flash modules (again 1024GB in capacity each).
