    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!

    I would buy this again!

    A well built, rugged external drive with USB-C and USB-3.0 cables for fast data transfer. The drive is configured for Mac. As indicated in the instructions, I had to go to the sandisk website to find the procedure of reconfigure for Windows 10.

    Best and reliable storage

    This thing is sturdy and reliable. I love that it has the rubberized casing around it. As a photographer I am constantly lugging this from place to place and it has withheld the test of time. It's fast in uploading as well.
