Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: - Very solid and well built design. An IP55 rating to show dust and water resistance is a nice benefit. The device is very portable—about the size of a pack of gum. - This drive is FAST. Both read and write speeds are very quick. I was able to transfer a feature length movie in seconds when using a USB C port on each side. - This drive was very easy to set up. All I had to do was plug it into my computer and it worked. Cons: - This drive did not work with my phone. According to my research it has to do with how much power the drive is able to pull from the USB port. So if you were looking to expand your phone storage, this is not the drive for you. - The cord included with the drive is really short, which I’ve found to be inconvenient.

incredibly fast. reliable. lightweight. haven't ran into any problems with it since I've gotten it.

great, fast easy setup works great with new Mac M2 laptop

This is a wonderful portable solution for storage. It's small enough to easily fit in your pocket, barely larger than a credit card and just under half an inch thick. This is easily the fastest portable drive I have ever used as well so if you have need to move large amounts of data between computers quickly and on the go this is the drive for you. I also tested it as an external drive for my Xbox One X and Xbox Series X in moving games between the consoles and it performed perfectly. For the price you won't find a better portable storage solution.

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.

Great price and easy to use. The upload was quick and simple.

I’ve had mine for a littler over 3 years now. The hard drive in my iMac died and I got this to get me through til I got a new one. This has my computer running like new. I thought it was going to be a short quick fix but it’s still going strong. I play games in the max setting, photo and video edit with no problem. Would rebuy in a heartbeat.

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.

I needed an external drive for my business laptop and this worked like a charm. It was fairly compact and came with a usb-c to usb-c cable as well as an adapter that could go to usb-3. I didn't need that converter. I ran crystal disk mark 8 on this as well as on another external nvme drive that I had (a big name brand) and I was surprised that the SanDisk Extreme outperformed it using the same usb-c connection. I achieved first line read speeds of 464 MB/s with write speeds of 462 (rounded in both cases) while the very big name nvme external (their latest) turned in 427 and 446 respectively on the first line. With regard to how hot this SanDisk runs, it is very reasonable to touch (warm, not hot) whereas the other nvme external which had a metal case and thermal pad is slightly warmer.to touch. I would highly recommend this for portable storage - certainly this is very fast and SanDisk is a quality brand.

I love this because it like keeps the storage and when it keeps the storage its like fast and and I play steam

Very practical, small, reliable, sturdy and good value for the price

Work perfectly. Its really portable. Definitely 100% recommend. Good design. Good materials and super resistant

This product is sturdy, compact and FAST! It routinely outperforms its stated specs. Wow. I use this for Windows backups.

Extreme Portable External USB-C device has 1 GB reading and writing transfer rate. It is fast enough to be able to store and run large games, and fast enough to run photoshop. If you are in need of extra storage for anything that requires fast reading speeds this is best product for it's value. If you require even more speed you should get the pricier second generation of SandDisk - Extreme Portable USB-C

Small, portable, fast! Connected easily and works perfectly.

Works great. Very compact size. Completely satisfied and priced right.

I actually used this as an external storage for my PS4 pro (but later on PS5 when I get it); and the games somewhat load a bit smoother than when I was running off the main drive (being an sshd). It comes with the USB-C to USB adapter which I am using at the moment to connect; I’ll have no need for the adapter once I get the ps5. Regarding looks, it looks rugged and there’s an “eyelet” or whatever it is to loop a hand strap. Overall is great small pocket sized storage without the bulk ness of previous external ssds in the 2.5 form factor. Highly recommended.

Extremely compact and light. Usb-c compatible with my Apple devices. I ordered online and picked up within the hour in-store which was efficient and helpful for my workflow, which had been disrupted by my computers hard drive running out of storage.

Awesome external SSD. Use with old iMAC to help out the old hard drive.
