    Gets very hot when using. It does work with IPad. Overall a good product but I do worry about for how long due to heating up.

    It still works hence 2 stars, but larger capacity models have serious issues. Sandisk used to be a brand I trusted and Western Digital (who bought them) was in the past a reliable brand. I'm not sure what is happening with the quality of products now but I cannot recommend these brands' products anymore.

    Failed drive after 13 months

    After having a WD hard drive fail on me, I decided to purchase this SSD in July 2022. It worked great up until today (August 2023). After working perfectly for the past year, it all of a sudden will not mount on either of my Macs or show up in disk utility. I have tried multiple cables and ports with no luck. Very frustrating to have a second drive fail. I will try my luck with Samsung's SSD.

    This SSD crashed after hardly using it. Will never buy this brand again. And from research I am not the only one who had an issue like this. I had to use a recovery utility to move my data off onto another SSD.

    Purchased it to store photos. Read and writing speed is not bad. Comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter which is really useful. Works with iPad, PC and Mac without any driver.

    Returned it within a few days as it got really hot (almost to hot to hold after use). While it was extremely fast, I was not willing to chance the high temps/heat of the device. Sets up easily.

    Do not purchase any of drive from this series. We use them in our video production team and they have been failing left and right. Western Digital who owns the SanDisk brand are aware of the failures but they are doing nothing but discounting the drives to empty the stock so they can get functional drives back on the market.

      Please allow us to inform you that the amount of current required to power this portable SSD device is approximately 1.1 amps. This SSD should work with most higher-end mobile phones that do provide sufficient power. However, you can simply copy/ paste the files on the SSD. SanDiskConnections
