Crucial X10 Pro Portable SSD 4TB
An enthusiast-tier 4TB portable SSD on USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps, USB-C), rated around 2,100 MB/s and pitched as a value alternative to the Samsung T9 4TB. The 4TB capacity suits 8K media storage and fast Gen 2x2 transfers. As with the 2TB version, that full speed needs a Gen 2x2 host to be realized.

Verdict
Best for
- high-capacity 8K media storage
- fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 offload
- value large-capacity alternative to Samsung T9 4TB
Who should skip this
- Mac-only editors — macOS has no native USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) support, so you'll cap near 10Gbps and lose the X10's main edge
- Light shooters who only fill a terabyte — 4TB is paying for capacity headroom you may never use
