The Crucial X8 External SSD features a unibody core of anodized aluminum, which not only look and feel great, but also can dissipate heat efficiently for maximum performance.

The X8 SSD comes preformatted with exFAT, so it will work with both Windows and Mac computers. You can also reformat if needed.

Will this SSD speed up rendering in Final Cut Pro ...

Will this SSD speed up rendering in Final Cut Pro X?
Asked by: Frank
The answer would depend on several factors, such as what hard drives you are currently using and their speed, as well as what processor your computer is using and its performance. If upgrading from a slower speed hard drive, most users do find improved performance with video editing software, as slower hard drives often are a point of a bottleneck. As such, the Crucial 4TB X8 External USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Solid-State Drive would likely improve rendering speeds in Final Cut Pro X, if you are upgrading from a slower speed hard drive.
