    SanDisk Professional Drives a Solid value

    These drives, thus far, work great for me. I carry lots of data back and forth, so I have my work with me. Yes, I am a Luddite, and don't put stuff in the cloud, backed up, yes, but not working files. I like these because they are larger than the standard Western Digital or Samsung SSD, so they don't get lost in my bag. With the rubber protection, they seem a lot sturdier. Since I usually deal with large files (graphic design and photos) there seems to be no issue with speed. Longevity? I can't answer that yet. But I plan on buying more to replace the WD drives as time and money permits. I highly recommend these San Disk G Drives, as you can see from the photo, I have a bunch of drives, and so far, two of these!
