Crucial X8 SSD: This is a portable, M.2 2280 form factor solid-state drive that was launched on October 25, 2019. The 1 TB variant comes with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and uses Silicon Motion’s SM2263EN controller and DRAM cache. It uses 64-layer QLC NAND manufactured by Micron. It offers 1,050 MB/s read speeds and 1,000 MB/s write speeds. The SLC cache (197 GB) handles burst writes faster. The price was $165, with a three-year warranty.
