Phenomenal speed
If you are looking for a rugged Thunderbolt 3 external drive- look no further. This is the one. One M2 MAC write speeds exceed those advertised and are at roughly 2500 Mbp/s

Excellent
Excellent Disk I connected it to a Mac mini M2 and it gave me a speed of 2700 mb/s writing.. I had read a review that said that it only reaches 1000 mb/s but I discovered that changing the cable for a Thunderbolt 4 reaches 3000 mb/s and if it does not reach that speed you just have to exchange the ends of the cable and ready normally the cables bring a mark make sure it is Marce look up.

Sandisc 2tb rugged drive
I had to download the instructions manual off the Internet . It wasnt recognized by windows ,it was formated for Macbook from factory . I had to go to device manager and follow instructions from sandisc website to format the drive for windows. Not very easy if you don't know how . Anyhow it's working and thunderbolt is working ,it's as though the drive is connected inside the laptop .
