THE QUICK TAKE

Is it right for you?

X10 Pro is worth considering if your computer has a genuine 20 Gbps USB port and you move large files often. The drive is compact, but its faster connection can be useful for a working photo or video library.

Do not pay extra solely for the speed headline if your computer limits USB drives to 10 Gbps. Many USB-C and Thunderbolt sockets do. Check the host specification and compare the current X9 Pro price; the better buy can change.

01 / BUYING NOTES

Before you buy.

01

Check the host specification.

Look for USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 or 20 Gbps USB support. The connector shape and a Thunderbolt logo alone do not guarantee that transfer mode.

02

Keep the supplied data lead.

The included USB-C data cable is part of the fast connection. A high-wattage charging lead can still be too slow for this job.

03

Check a phone-recording setup carefully.

For direct phone recording, check the phone, recording app and storage format together. A USB-C connector alone does not establish recording support, and the rig in the photo is not included.

03 / SOURCES

What the sources say.

The tested drive performed strongly on a 20 Gbps host. The review’s central warning is that a slower USB connection removes much of the speed advantage. Those measurements are from the 2TB sample.

Tom’s Hardware

Independent X10 Pro test · 2TB sample · summarized

The review distinguishes the 20 Gbps X10 Pro from the 10 Gbps X9 Pro. The faster model makes the most sense when the computer and cable can use that interface.
