Wont connect to anything if u upgrade your operating system (mac) give it one star because i have to put at least one, save your money find something else

Worked for two days and I can’t access my data now.

Waste product and even did not support for a year. Not recommending and warranty support policy is not good

Won’t work with windows 11 and too slow to play pc/Xbox/ps5 games off of it

It’s an issue with original Memory after using couple of times it’s say you have 32GB total memory. I want to return it or exchange it ...

Sadly, the drive I bought would not mount, this is the third one of this type I bought. I know this happens just bummed it did.

very bad SSD, broken in few months. i dont recommend

Hard to use..no instructions. It does not seem to work on all windows computers

Trash after less than a year. Powered drives seem ok, but this is the second portable SanDisk I've had die on me. :-(

Very disappointed. Purchased to work with nVidia box but could never be found. Works with PC

Same problem as WD SSD...doesn't work at all. Suspect same problem as WD SSD: not compatible with Windows 11 and no updated driver.

Don’t buy! Did not even last a year not worth the money.

Super small, very nice build quality and seamless integration

I have no idea how to activate or use this back-up product.

Extreme is a great name for this! It is so light I wasn't sure there was anything in the box. For a speed test I ran a copy from an internal SSD to a USB spinny disk and the SanDisk Extreme. I transferred approximately 750GB (~10k files) to each drive using the same port on my computer. The spinny drive took 2:23:14 and the SanDisk Extreme took only 0:57:34. That's 60% faster!

Used to store photos and left in my desk drawer, now when trying to access the drive it will not respond to any of our computers.

SanDisk - Extreme 1TB External USB Type-C (NVMe) Portable Solid State Drive This 1TB WD SanDisk Extreme portable SSD has everything going for it. It’s light (1.76 ounces), spacious (1T) and lightning fast when compared to the previous older hard drives. The 1Terabyte offers ample storage for your files, photos and videos. It’s dust-proof and water resistant, and its small, compact size provides for easy portability of your files when you’re traveling. It offers password protection to secure your files from prying eyes. There’s a built-in loop which allows you to secure the drive to a belt loop or backpack. Finally, it offers drop protection as well as X-ray and shock resistance. In addition to the drive itself, there’s also a USB Type-C to USB Type-A adapter included in the box, making it compatible with most PCs and Macs. And it includes free virus protection. It comes with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty for both parts and labor. Bottom line, this SSD checks all the boxes. Highly recommended.

The very first thought I had when opening the package was "Wow, this thing is small." I'm used to dealing with traditional 2.5" hard drives, and I wasn't quite prepared for how small this tiny little external drive would be. The drive comes with an adapter for using it with a traditional USB type-A port. That being said, my laptop has a USB type-C port with Thunderbolt; and I was able to plug it in without the adapter. I was absolutely floored by the speed at which it transferred files. I moved roughly 5GB of files INSTANTLY. I mean that quite literally. There was no delay, no loading bar, no indication of any type of file movement whatsoever. I initially thought that something had gone wrong with the transfer since everything was so silent. It wasn't until I started actually opening some of the transferred files that I realized that it had simply worked insanely fast. I love the soft touch feel to the drive. This is going to sound silly, but it's extremely "comfortable" to hold in one's hand. The lightly rubberized surface makes it very "grippable" for lack of a better term. I would strongly recommend this drive for anyone with a USB type-C port looking for fast, compact storage.

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. [ Performance ] During my benchmarks connected to a laptop via USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C port using the included USB-C cable, I maxed out at 978.72 MB/s read speed and 940.03 MB/s write speed with sequential 1MB chunks in CrystalDiskMark, reasonably close to the advertised maximum speeds. In practical file transfer tests between this and another NVMe SSD drive connected to the same computer via M.2 (where the other drive benchmarks faster in all regards), I was getting about 700 MB/s read speeds and 465 MB/s write speeds consistently from/to the SanDisk drive. For stability testing, I recorded many hours of high-resolution, high-bandwidth gameplay videos directly to the drive which went very smoothly with no hiccups. [ Design ] The rubberized body feels very sturdy, and I suspect could endure some significant punishment while protecting the internals from harm. The IP55 rated dust and water resistance, while not amazing, provides enough protection against mishaps to confidently take the unit on the go. There’s no plug/cap for the USB port on the drive, which detracts somewhat from its otherwise rugged design. The ‘carabiner loop’ is a nice touch for some added utility. One of the most unfortunate--and arguably bizarre--design choices is the incredibly short USB-C cable included. While barely sufficient for plugging this drive into a laptop or other small device (tablet, phone, camera, etc.), plugging this drive into a PC with a tower case is almost certainly going to require a much longer cable to avoid unintentional disconnects. There’s no power or activity light, and while not necessarily unusual, it is a feature that some may miss.

I love this new SanDisk 1TB external SSD. I have owned the previous generation of this device, both in 1TB and 2TB configurations. This new generation using NVMe storage technology is head and shoulders above the already excellent previous generation. Doing a direct comparison file transfer using my 16 inch MacBook Pro of the same 300TB of 4K 60FPS footage the new model completed the transfer in almost half the time. That's write time. Doing it in reverse and this new model finished the same transfer in less than a third of the time. This was from internal SSD to external both ways. My workflow typically involves transferring raw footage from the camera (on SD or microSD) to one of my external SSD's to edit a project in Final Cut Pro. This means a fast read/write time is important to me, especially when working with larger files. Currently I have a Samsung T5 and two T7's (both 1TB) as well as the previous gen SanDisk Extreme 1TB and two 2TB drives. To me, and without running any benchmarks, this new SanDisk feels faster than the T7's I just bought a couple months ago. Put another way I'll be buying a couple more of these new SanDisk drives when the 2TB models drop soon. I like the solid construction. Being both water and dust resistant along with drop protection is important to me. Plus I just really dig the look and feel with the soft touch finish.
