I just transferred 26gigs of high res videos in under 1 minute from my 2021 macbook pro! This usb-c drive is excellent, small form factor and ruggedized. Actually smaller than I expected so that's a bonus for my plans to bring it along as we adventure around outside and record with gopros and DSLR's. Love the carabiner option for keeping it hooked to a EDC bag. I plan to use this as the primary drive for all my video edit projects and will rely on the transfer speeds to keep buffering at bay. I purchased this SSD drive because of the transfer speeds.
Highly recommend

I've been using this little SSD as a Time Machine drive for my Mac. It works very well for the purpose. I appreciate how small and light weight it is. Can't say that I use the carabiner hook.
One thing that is a bit unique - most vendors with USB-C drives include two cables to connect to the computer with USB-C or USB-A. With this drive a USB-C to USB-C cable is included along with a C to A adapter. The cable is keyed so it only goes into the Type-A adapter in one direction which drops the Ease of Use to four stars. This is a cost cutting measure, and it also saves some waste. I don't mind it, but it is a little different and a bit cumbersome.

Love this SanDisk - Extreme Portable 1TB External USB-C NVMe SSD - Black! It is small and lightweight. Easy to fit in a backpack or hand bag. I appreciate the cut out to clip the SSD in my back clip. Performance has been excellent. Using bitlocker on it to protect my information.

Got this for work when I needed something easily portable that could hold large video files. It didn't disappoint. I haven't bothered to clock it but file transfers are very quick when utilizing USB-C to USB-C connection. The solid, rubberized casing is durable. You could probably throw this thing across the room and it would be okay (DON'T throw it across the room.) It's small enough to be slipped comfortably into a pocket. Grabbed it on sale for less than $100. No regrets!

I buy a lot of external hard drives to both back up my computers and to store my photographic work. In terms of lightweight storage and protection this SanDisk is amazing. Now you can pay a similar price to get a HDD that will have more storage ( I can think of at least three drive makers that have 5TB drives for about the same price ) but this SanDisk SSD is ridiculously small and solid in design. I literally put it in the pocket on my camera bag wear I would usually put an energy bar. The SanDisk also seems solid enough to take some shocks without the worry of head crashes. It is also extremely fast on both read and write. You can rely on this bit of technology.

Product is exactly what I was looking for. It is a well designed plug and play external HD, at a very reasonable price. Couldn’t have asked for more. The Best Buy order on line and pick up in a locker worked flawlessly.

You could use it for photos, hook it up to your pc, it allows you to store games on it, or use it on your phone to save your photos instead of paying for “apple cloud” or any other cloud storage subscriptions that company's offer

This makes an excellent complement to the M1 Macbook Air. Since I purchased the least expensive Macbook Air, I needed the extra hard drive space. The main features that I like about the SanDisk Extreme Portable are that (1) it is fast (especially using USB-C), (2) it is built rugged, and (3) it has a small size that fits easily into my MacBook Air sleeve. One of my concerns was that I would not be able to get files off my other computer using standard USB. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box and found that it comes with a standard USB adapter. I highly recommend this product
