  • QuestionWould this be ok for transferring/storing photos & videos from a older iMac 2009 Thanks

    Asked by Robby.

    • Answer My apologies: your 2009 iMac does NOT have a Thunderbolt port. So, my prior recommendation that all you need is Apple's Thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter won't help here. Your 2009 iMac has just Firewire 800 in addition to USB 2.0. Firewire 800 is also slow, albeit a bit better than USB 2.0. Still, to connect Firewire 800 to this portable SSD's USB-C connection is an even more complicated proposition, requiring an Apple Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 1 or 2 adapter, then from the Thunderbolt 1 or 2 adapter to Thunderbolt 3 (which is compatible with USB-C). The retail price on that first adapter is $29, then $49 for the second adapter. And Firewire 800 is still slow. Here is what I would do: - if you bought a new Mac and it has an ethernet port, see if you can use Migration Assistant to pass the data between the two Macs via ethernet. - if you cannot use Migration Assistant, buy this portable SSD and use the USB adapter that comes with it to try passing your photos and videos via your old iMac's USB 2.0 port. It might or might not get you there in a reasonable amount of time, depending on how many gigabytes of files you need to move.

  • QuestionHi, may I know the difference between CRUCIAL X6 SE and CRUCIAL X6?

    Asked by Numn.

    • Answer Hello Numn, Thank you for your interest in Crucial products. The main difference between the CRUCIAL X6 SE and the CRUCIAL X6 is that the CRUCIAL X6 SE comes with a USB C to USB-A adapter included in the box, which allows you to connect the portable SSD to any device with a USB-A port. The CTUSBCFUSBAMAD is the model number of the adapter. The CRUCIAL X6 does not include this adapter, so you would need to purchase it separately if you want to use it with a USB-A device. Both models have the same performance, capacity, durability and warranty.

  • QuestionWhy is this advertised as a 1TB SSD drive when i connect and format the drive its only showing 931GB of available storage???

    Asked by zach.

    • Answer Hello, thanks for getting in touch, Your drive shows up smaller than advertised because storage drive capacity is calculated and reported slightly differently than other capacities in computing. If you look at the specifications of any storage device, you will see a note that says something along the lines of ”1 GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual usable capacity may vary.” In other words, the drive capacity is reported on the assumption that 1GB is 1,000,000,000 bytes 1 thousand billion bytes. A GB by another way of accounting is 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1073741824 bytes. So the drive will have by this calculation 931 GB available.

  • QuestionWill this work for modern day PC games, such as Forza Horizon 5, Minecraft and/or Roblox?

    Asked by Jason.

    • Answer Hello Jason, Thank you for reaching out to us, The Crucial X6 can run modern PC games, but its 540 MB/s speed is slower than NVMe SSDs. It should handle Forza Horizon 5, Minecraft, and Roblox, though load times may be longer. For better performance, consider an NVMe SSD or the faster Crucial X10 pro, X9 Pro Portable SSD.

  • QuestionI have an envy 2021 laptop that says gpu not supported when trying to run Diablo 4 will this make it runnable ?

    Asked by Jesse.

    • Answer Probably not. The issue you are having is the graphics card isn't supported by Diablo 4. An ssd won't make it compatible. Not sure why it won't run Diablo 4 on a two year old laptop though without knowing more about it.
