Crucial, the Micron Technology Inc.‘s global consumer brand of memory and storage, announced the X6 portable SSD.

This transportable, sleek drive expands the company’s SSD portfolio and offers more value, capacity and performance options, making it for customers who require instant access to their digital content.

“The need for flexible access to digital content is essential right now – and the Crucial X6 and X8 portable SSDs bring Micron’s unparalleled quality in storage technology directly to customers’ fingertips,” said Teresa Kelley, VP and GM, consumer products group, Micron. “Whether working remotely, staying home with family, preparing for a virtual class, or getting out for an adventure, storing and accessing digital files has never been easier – even without an Internet connection or access to the cloud.“
