It's very tiny. I looked at the pictures, but I still didn't get just how tiny it actually is. I love that it takes up virtually no space and can be easily transported in a pocket. You could put it in that little pocket in your jeans.
It doesn't need a separate power cord. This is actually my favorite feature. One less cord on my desk it always a great deal.
It's much faster than an external HD. I'm connecting to an older iMac, which only has USB 2, but if I ever connect it to my laptop I'll be able to take advantage of USB-C speeds. Compared to an HD, it also doesn't have to spin up, which takes my previous western digital HD up to v 10 seconds, so I'm still seeing a nice speed boost.
There are bigger, faster SSDs, but I will take the small speed hit for the size advantage.
I did not have to format for Mac, as some reviewers said. Mine came in exfat, which is compatible between both.
SSDs are much more reliable than HDs, in both longevity and shock resistance. This SSD is small enough to easily transport, which means you have to consider dropping it (or stopping whatever bag it's in). SSDs withstand about 50x more shock than HDs (~1500g vs ~30g).
It's quieter and uses less power than an HD.
Highly recommended!
Update: Lowering review to 1 star because after testing the same system with different backup drives but utilizing the same method, data volume and software I was able to complete a full 1.5 TB backup on other drives (with a lower sustained read/write speed than the crucial of 550 MB/s) in 1 hour 15 minutes. Differential backups took only 11 minutes compared to this crucial drive taking 6 hours and 51 minutes for a full backup and 4 hours 11 minutes for a differential backup of the same data volume. I will be submitting a warranty claim as these drives from Crucial are extremely flawed which probably explains why it was put on sale for a cheap price. Tested this Crucial drive on both a Windows 10 Pro system and 2020 iMac (the Crucial drive actually caused the backup program on Windows to crash twice while the other 3 different manufacturer SSD drives caused no issues).
One of the things I love about these drives is their durability. With no moving parts, I feel extremely confident that they will last a long time. I personally purchased the L LTGEM EVA Hard Storage Case for these drives, and they fit perfectly, with two drives per case. I've dropped and knocked these drives a few times, but they still work perfectly.
In fact, I'm so impressed with these drives that I'm about to purchase four more to backup all my family photos, videos, and special files, which I will keep locked away in my fireproof safe. That's how confident I am in their quality.
Overall, I highly recommend the Crucial X6 4TB Portable SSD HDs. Their size is amazing, and the speed is blazing fast, making them perfect for video editing. And speaking of size, I love that I can put one of these 4TB drives in my shirt pocket when I'm in the office and take it from conference room to conference room without even noticing the weight.
In conclusion, these drives are amazing, and I can't recommend them enough.

One small point which others may wish to note was the short length of the enclosed connection cord, which also has a USC connector at both ends. Although US C is a relatively recent innovation which is growing fast, on my PC which is just over two and a half years old, this technology is not included, rather than buy the USB to USC adapter I bought a longer cable with the correct connector on each end.
