Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good purchase bought this so I wouldn’t have to download most things directly to my laptop.

My last backup WD SD backup drive lasted a little over 1 year. I am hoping this one will last longer

Well built, but gets dirty easily. Also the cord is too short that comes with it.

Good quality recommended this drive.i cant ask for more!

Great product! Very easy to use! Would recommend it, for any type of storage, pictues, videos, movies, etc…

his gift card was already in use with another account, even though it arrived new.

have not used it yet but I expect the best when i do

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.

Gets the job done! I bought this to send some files overseas and this was the best option!

Good item. Have not used it yet IT friends say it was a good deal.

Good, but this external portable SSD can only be used by either Mack or PC. It cannot use both.

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.

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

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.

This unit is an external SSD storage device. Unit works as intended.

The cable to the pc should be longer. Very short and stiff

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

Extremely fast transfers in large files. Great product.

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