If the price were a little less i would have given it 5 stars. Its fast, small, durable best in the market.

Worked great when I first got it. Speed was great. Put it in a drawer after storing some files on it then about 1.5 yrs later I got it out and it would not work at all. Could not access any data on it. Odd because usually SSDs are more reliable than that and I have had good experiences with WD/Sandisk in the past. It does have a 5yr warranty though I do not have much confidence that a replacement will be any better. I would recommend to avoid this product as other reviews also mention this issue. Even common low cost USB flash drives are more reliable in my experience. If using this product make sure to backup the data on another device until SanDisk can improve the reliability.
Hi Alfred, thanks for taking the time to post your review about the drive. Please note that the drive can be formatted using the exFAT file system so that it can be used with both macOS and Windows operating systems. Please see Answer ID 20821 (https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/20821). Please backup existing data from the drive as formatting is a data destructive process.

It works as expected. Gets a little warm and the cord is too short, but otherwise very good.

Seems to work fine for a time machine drive on my MAC, although its not as fast as I thought it would be. For the price of this drive they could given you more than a 3" cable, how cheap can you get? For that reason alone I'm giving it an average rating.

Never recommending these drives. I have a 1 TB and the 4TB and they both failed together. A few months ago the drives would not load on my Mac and it turned out to be a SanDisk problem. Their solution is to use a Windows 10 or 11 computer to update the firmware, but not before making sure your files are backed up. That requires a trip to a tech support desk at Best Buy or similar, or calling a friend with said computer.
Just read it for yourself on Ars Technica "SanDisk’s silence deafens as high-profile users say Extreme SSDs still broken" or any other google search for this problem will lead you to the many users who have lost files.
