That's an excellent question. I'm pretty sure the maximum speed you'll out of this thing (or even an X10 Pro) is: 10Gbps. I've seen plenty of reviews of the Crucial X10 Pro where people explain that they're p*ssed off because they're not seeing >900-1,000MB/sec transfer rates.


To go any faster than that, you'll need a Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 drive (whether it's a DIY enclosure+NVMe drive, or something like a SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD (Thunderbolt 3, 40Gbps)).


I have a Satechi "USB4 NVMe SSD Pro Enclosure". You can get ~3,000MB/sec speeds with an SN850X in that thing, for example. I also have an OWC 1M2 NMVe enclosure. I have a slower drive in mine, but there are screenshots on Amazon reviews of people getting ~3,500MB/s write and ~3,400MB/s read with a Crucial T700 4TB Gen 5 SSD in that thing.

I know what it says but I have a hard time believing the 6tb X10 was $139 at any point.

So the X10 is newer than the X10 Pro, faster - but "some fluctuation in performance" vs. the Pro which "can handle a constant stream of data."

Not confusing at all.

I saw that as well, but that doesn't pass the smell test because it also shows it was that price for months on end. They would have flown off the shelves.

They skimped a little on the "secondary" cache (really, primary) so that a batch of files larger than a few gigabytes (say, copying 1TB of files at once) slows down to about 200 Mbps instead of 2,000 Mbps. Same problem on the X10 Pro, but a LITTLE faster because of their "secondary" cache being there. (These days, "primary" cache is not separate but allocated as part of the SSD fragmentation). The reality is that you care more about speed on the read side, than the write side: the former happens much more than the latter, and the nature of the beast is that you'll read smaller/fewer files at once, than you'll write them.

Agree about reading smaller/fewer files, but often use these for backup and on those I do care more about the write side. And it's very annoying to see write speed dwindle to practically nothing, a small percentage of the advertised write speed, and stay there for significant portions of the backup.
