Inside the box, you'll find the X8, a Type-C USB cable, Type-C to USB-A adapter and a small, multilingual quick-start guide. While there aren't a lot of technical details, the packaging advertises some of the drive's key features including its 1TB capacity, 1050 MB/s transfer speed, and its support for Windows, macOS and game consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One. The X8 comes in a small, blue and white box. For this review, Crucial sent us the 1TB version of the drive which is capable of delivering up to 1050 MB/s sequential read speeds. The X8 is available in 500GB and 1TB capacities. To top it all off, the X8 works with PCs, Macs, iPad Pros and Chromebooks as well as game consoles like the PS4 and Xbox.
