Reliable 1.0TB storage with 1.1 GB/s reads - the Crucial X9 Pro is a practical, affordable choice for daily backups and file transport.

Solid Everyday Performance

With 1.1 GB/s reads and 1.0 GB/s writes over a USB-C connection, the Crucial X9 Pro delivers reliable performance for daily computing needs. Backing up documents, transferring photos from a laptop to a desktop, or storing a media library - this drive handles routine tasks with consistent speed and zero fuss.

Practical, No-Compromise Design

1.0TB of storage provides generous headroom for everyday files. The compact, lightweight design slips into any bag pocket, and with 440 TBW endurance backed by a 3-year warranty, it is a storage investment that will serve you for years.

Great for

  • Daily system backups (Time Machine, File History, or rsync)

  • Drop-proof up to 2 meters
  • USB-C to C and C to A cables included
  • Good value for money

  • Only 3-year warranty
