    after transferring back up files to this external ssd, this device was not accessible. Was able to recognize the device on multiple computers, but was unable to access the drive. looked at manufacturer's website and it appears that others experience same issue.

    This Sandisk solid State storage device was faulty, came to know later as i was getting few of my files not copied. From my experience it is having bad sectors for which it hangs often & loses valuable data (video/audio) Returning window was short so unable to return. I am having 3 more such device taken online & all are performing good Had a bad experience with most products purchased in Best Buy North Irving center which is now closed also.

    Product failed after two years of use. As a primary back up, that was not acceptable. Data recovery services cost $400 to $600 + shipping. Recommend a more reliable product. After failure, drive shows up as empty.

    Worked great when i first bought it a year ago. After six months the drive quit. The drive doesnt show on my Apple Mac or Windows 10 PC. I tried a new proven working cable hoping that was the issue, but no luck. Not sure what to do.

    I have had this drive for 7 months and have not been able to use it. The SanDisk Lock feature I installed at setup without realizing what havoc it would cause. I am unable to remove the utility, and carbonite won't recognize either the disk itself or the virtual disk the utility creates. I have spent countless hours trying to fis the problem. I have a very expensive paper weight.
