Q: QuestionThis is much smaller than an external hard drive (i.e. the spinning disk kind) and SanDisk says it has "Up to two-meter drop protection and IP55 water and dust resistance" so why does Best Buy recommend its bulky, zippered hard drive case?

Asked 3 years ago by FreeTruth.

Q: QuestionDoes this particular item (SanDisk - Extreme Pro Portable 4TB External) ship with the newest firmware update? I see on some other seller's websites, the updated firmware is noted in the description, however not for this item on Best Buy's site.

Asked 2 years ago by Joe.

• A:Answer Never mind this question. After a little bit of research, it looks like the issues with SanDisk's SSDs may in fact be a hardware issue and not something that can be resolved with a firmware update. There are several class action law suits currently in place against Western Digital, SanDisk's parent company, regarding this current line up of SSDs. Please disregard my previous question, I will not be trusting any of my data, new or repetitive to SanDisk's most recent line of SSDs.
