Crucial Expands Portable SSD Portfolio, Unveiling Revolutionary New Storage Architecture
Micron Technology, Inc. announced the Crucial® X9 Pro Portable SSD and Crucial X10 Pro Portable SSD, two new performance offerings in the Crucial Pro Series product portfolio, designed for content creators such as photographers, videographers, designers, or any performance-seeking consumer.

The Crucial X10 Pro Portable SSD, the fastest external SSD offered to date by Micron, delivers sequential read/write speeds up to 2,100MB/s and 2,000MB/s, respectively, and up to 4TB of space. Creative professionals can transfer 1TB of data in under nine minutes, dramatically improving video editing workflow efficiencies.
