    This external disk is easy to carry and light weight too! You don’t have to worry about dropping it down as it’s outer layer makes it impact proof and sturdy.

    I also own the Gdrive external, and I prefer this one due to smaller footprint, lighter weight, and more stable USBC cable. This is a fantastic drive.

    SanDisk did a great job with the physical size, performance, and the included cable and adapter. The cable is a good length (not too long and not too short) and the USB-C to USB Type-A adapter even comes in handy for other devices. The performance of the drive is great. I've edited HD videos with it and had no performance issues using a USB 3.0 port.
