Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this cause my sister recommended it to me. Told me it was great.

Light, compact, durable and fast. All I wanted in a SSD

Good for storage. Easy to use and easy to carry anywhere

These things are a great size and work well, used/compatible with MacBook

Great! The geek squad was so helpful. Love the size and capability.

Good product and good color but itis too hard and need

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.

Nice unit and the cost of was ok. The problem having is Mac vs. PC.

Worked fine it initially but after about 6 months, I’ve noticed the transfer times are not as fast. The device does run hot too

Extremely fast transfers in large files. Great product.

.Ssd's are always best option for storage, transfer data

Bought this as a on-the-go content storage drive that I could edit off of. Unfortunately the drive heats up and runs extremely slow. I have some 'My Passport SSD' from WD and they work seamlessly. Was very disappointed in the performance of this drive. Fine for storage but dont plan on using it as a quick access drive.

Great product, high price but what isn’t these days.

It does exactly what I needed it to do. Good quality product.

SanDisk is small, easily portable, and easy to navigate.

I finally bought this fearing my 10-15 year old HDs were going to die on me and take precious family memories with them. I should have known when more often this would suddenly eject itself. But using it so little the thought slipped my mind. Not even 2 years in and this drive is dead. "Insert disk" error on several PCs and devices. Come to learn WD is now being sued because the failures are so common yet ignored by them. These are being heavily discount often. DO NOT fall for it, WD is offloading bad products.

Sandisk/Western Digital is aware of firmware problems with these drives yet they keep them on the market. Do some research, you WILL lose data if you buy this drive. At best, it'll randomly disconnect and reconnect, maybe causing some file corruption. At worst, I'll cause your whole computer to crash and shut down. Others are having the same experience. Manufacturer is in denial. These products should be pulled from the shelves.

It works very well but it apparently cannot be used for another android device after using it on a first android device without reformatting it. Not pleased about that!

Price match was easy. Item arrived 3 days late. Poor shipping; NO packing material in the box. Haven’t yet been able to use because of family issues. Will update once used.

Completely broke after only 1.5 years. There was no warning, no physical damage, nothing. I didn't even carry this with me anywhere. It was just plugged in on my home computer. Out of a sudden its stopped being recognized by any computer. The cable works. Absolute worthless. BestBuy refused to refund my money, since it is outside of the return window. Never did I have an external hard-drive stop working, especially after not even 2 years. I would not recommend this, unless you like loosing all your data. They should have refunded me, because this is unacceptable.
