    Drive Had Fatal Crash Lost 100's of hours of work

    So here I am about 10 days past the "returnable" status and this drive has a fatal crash. I have lost 4 years and 100's of hours of work. The drive had zero abuse, was well-cared for, and there was literally zero reason for this fatal error. I can not retrieve the data on the drive, write new data to the drive, or even open a file from the drive. Less than 100gb have been used. The on-board Sandisk software is useless as well.

    As a backup for video game capture it worked well and speeds of 358mb/s were seen. Then one day I downloaded a large zip at 23GB. After trying to unpack it I got I/O read errors, and the folder became corrupt. I was able to move 450GB of data off the drive to backup on the Samsung 1TB I also have. But the corrupted folder on SanDisk 1TB was empty but not able to delete. I tried to format it but Windows 11 said it could not format. The chips are fried! I cannot use the drive or format now.

    This product is useless, It has no directions on how to transfer file's to it from any item laptop, phone, desktop or anything. Looked it up on line and can't find any direction. I can't use the item so it was a waste of money!!!

    I highly recommend. - Money saver for Pre-configured Laptops/Desktops. - high speed USB 3.1/ C - Small and Light weight - Rubberized for non-slip I bought this along with a new MacBook Air w/ minimal storage. The money spent on this Drive go me way more than I would have gotten if I had purchased a higher configuration.

    I ordered the 1TB version from BestBuy and got it super quick, But 1st i bought the 500GB version. I bought this to install my mac os on and use it instead of the internal 5400rpm spinning disk hard drive. It's only been a day but it works flawlessly and is super quick. It's like having a new computer again. My mac was never this fast even when it was new. If it holds up to the test of time and last a long time i'll be using nothing but these from now on.

    Before selling my old mac 2014, I transferred close to 300 Gigs of Data to this. I was done in about less than 5-6 minutes. Not sure how. It has great write and read speeds and worth every penny. Feels sturdy and I dropped it a couple of times and it seems to be ok.
