Q: Many recent articles about catastrophic failures of these drives. WD is said to be releasing a firmware update to address this issue but only for the 4TB drives. What is the failure rate of the 2TB model, and when when will WD update firmware for it?

A: I recently purchased this drive from Best Buy in Bradenton, FL, at the UTC Mall. It failed 1-week later. To begin, I was sold a drive that someone had opened, used to video a wedding, and left 65GB of photos and videos on it. They returned it, and Best Buy reboxed it, put it on the shelf, and sold it to me. Unfortunately for me, I had to travel immediately after purchasing the drive, so the 30-day return window expired, and now I am stuck with a junk drive that cost me $230+ How can anyone take a drive back and not check it for use, virus, or other bad things on the drive before they resell it to someone? I have other SSD drives, and I've had no problem with them. However, this drive is nothing but a fishing weight as of now. It has been reformatted 10-12 times, erased, mounted, and unmounted, using Disk Utility and First Aid; NOTHING WORKS. In a day or three, it drops its name, unmounts itself, and cannot be used. I would NOT BUY this drive!!!!

Q: Is this compatible with an Ipad pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and the Samsung tab S7 plus in terms of moving larger videos between the tablet and Sandisk extreme pro?

A: Please allow us to inform you that the amount of current required to power this portable SSD device is approximately 1.1 amps. This SSD should work with most higher-end mobile phones that do provide sufficient power. However, we would suggest you check the same with your host device manufacturer.

    Look No Further. The Perfect External Hard Drive

    What can I say? This little external hard drive puts my other ones to shame. Smaller than a cell phone, my SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 2TB drive is more than I'll probably ever use, but it's nice knowing that I can put everything on it. I take it with me when I travel and just hook it up to my laptop and I'm good to go. I highly recommend this product.

    Great piece of mind for those special memories.

    Scared of losing those precious memories that mean so much to you? Then this is the hard drive for you. I recently decided to transfer all my pictures and videos I have ever saved from an 11 year old external box of a hard drive. I would be devestated if I lost those memories i cherish so much. I did some research and low and behold I came across this amazing hard drive. Its life proof and sealed so well and not to mention how compact and sleek this is. I love it and it works great. I now feel my things are safe and have a piece of mind. Thank you for making this wonderful hard drive.

    SanDisk - Extreme Pro Portable 2TB External USB-C

    Great portable device for "on-the-go". Never had any latency or driver issues with this SSD. Slim, light-weight design, with keychain opening, makes it very easy to carry. The outer rubber lining also helps aborb shock when dropped, making it pretty durable. The rubbiner lining also helps it from sliding around on a hard surface. The Sandisk Extreme Pro 2T is also at a great price point compared to its competitors.
