How can I get the best performance out of the X6 drive?

While the guidance in the other two answers is pertinent, they're missing the most important pieces of the performance puzzle - which USB cable you use and what port you plug into on the computer. These two things can cut the potential performance of the drive in half, or worse! You need to use a cable rated for USB 3.2 Gen 2/SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps or better (such as the one that came with it) and plug it into a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port (or better) or a Thunderbolt 3 port (or better, recommended). If you need a longer cable, ensure you buy one rated for 10Gbps or better (I usually over-spec the cable for 20Gbps so if the cable degrades over time, it'll still support at least the10Gbps the drive wants). If you use an adaptor to convert the USB-C to USB-A, you're limiting yourself to USB 3.0 speeds (5Gbps) which is half of what the drive supports. Only do this if there is no other choice! If you plug into a USB-C port not rated for the higher speed, then you also limit yourself to 5Gbps. Again, only do this if there's no other choice...

I want to use this for just storage on a ps5 & xbox series x. will any cable that is usb c & usb a on other end work?

Not exactly, no. While any USB A to C cable will technically work, the XBox will be very unhappy with you unless your connection to this "external disk" runs at least at USB 3.0 speeds. This pretty much means your cable needs to be rated for USB 3.0 (or better) or it won't work well with your XBox (so avoid using those cheaper USB cables on the market). On my XBox Series S I bought a 2 pack of (2 foot) USB 3.1 cables for around $10 on Amazon. And when I used one of those cables with my XBox, the Xbox was happy with this SSD (and immediately offered to format the drive for storing my games). And after format, I could then move (and play) any games I wanted from this SSD (except the few games that XBox insists need the "internal" storage of the console itself).
