Smart FAQs

Q: Will this work with my PS5 or Xbox Series X?

A: Yes. The Crucial X8 is compatible with consoles. For PS5, games stored on external drives require specific formatting and some titles may need to be transferred to an internal SSD to run. Performance on consoles may be limited by console interface speeds.

Q: Do I need to install drivers?

A: No drivers are typically required. The X8 is bus-powered and recognized by most modern OSs. You may need to format the drive for your target device (e.g., exFAT for cross-platform use).

Q: Does the drive include hardware encryption?

A: The X8 does not include hardware encryption. It is compatible with OS-level encryption tools such as BitLocker and FileVault to secure your data.

Q: How do I claim the warranty if there's a defect?

A: Vlebazaar assists with warranty claims. Contact our support team with your order details and we will guide you through the manufacturer’s 3-year limited warranty process and local service options.

Q: What speeds can I realistically expect?

A: The X8 is rated up to 1050 MB/s sequential read. Real-world speeds depend on host device, cable, port (USB 3.2 Gen 2 recommended), and file types. Expect significantly faster transfers than SATA-based external drives.

Q: Is the drive suitable for continuous video recording or editing directly from the drive?

A: Yes — the X8’s high sustained transfer rates make it suitable for editing and recording large video files. For heavy sustained workloads, ensure your host device and connection support the drive’s top performance.
