    Wow, this thing is impressively awful for an external drive! I'm a computer engineer and struggled to let it write multiple different files. It only ever let me write to it once at a time. If I wanted to write more files the next time it claimed the storage space was full and needed to be wiped each time. Absolutely unusable and not recommended unless you prefer saving data like a drunk gambling with dice.

    I was told just take it home plug it in. Well, a few days ago, I called the 800 number because of a warning from WebRoot. Your rep looked at my setup and all was well: desktop hard drive at 90% & ext. At 0%

    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.
