    Great product. Fact. Light. Efficient. Small. What could make it better? A - It needs a case to keep the accessories in one place.

    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.

    Very fast; short cable

    Very fast, as an SSD should be. Gets warm to the touch, which is not a problem. USB-C cable that comes with it is very short: about 6 inches. I would prefer a longer one, but this one plugs into a port on the front of my Mac Studio, so is OK

    Lightning Fast Read and Write

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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

    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.

    Outstanding Portable SSD

    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.
