    Ordered online and delivered fast. Wonderful backup capabilities using TimeMachine on my MacBook. Be sure you follow the instructions on how to configure and set up the Extreme 2TB on your MacBook. Works great! Solid state construction will last and endure. USB-C ready. On sale at BestBuy.com when I purchased --> wonderful value for a solid state drive with 2TB of storage.

    Love this portable drive. It was my first ssd portable but love the size and speed. Worth paying the extra money. I have dropped this thing and so easy to pack. Sometimes gets lost in my bag cause its so small. Dont know if thats good or bad but I love the size. All my past hard drives been so big and took a little more time. This bad boy boots right up. Never going back to sata hard drives.

    This is a very well built and super fast SSD external hard drive. My only complaint is that is does run hot when transferring data but it doesn't seem to have an impact on the the performance. Highly recommend!

    The SanDisk Extreme NVMe SSD has a small size and rugged construction perfect for taking it with you on the go, and fast speeds which make it great for any task you could reasonably throw at it. Backed by the long-trusted SanDisk and Western Digital brands, this unit is a worthy pick for those needing a decent external drive.

    I have recently moved from a desktop setup with lots of storage to a mobile setup for traveling. I have plenty of internal storage for my day-to-day photography work. But this SanDisk Extreme lets me put my archived projects in my bag for access if I need it. I love knowing I have everything with me even if internet is poor in my location and I can't access cloud storage. So fast, so well built, and for the first time, somewhat affordable for a durable external SSD.

    This is definitely a good item if you are a photographer like me. Small, sleek, but very useful. Get it while it's on sale for a better deal as price is high.
