    If you're looking for a fast and convenient storage option, look no further. This is portable SSD is extremely fast. I was able to copy over 8gb of videos and photos from my internal SSD on my laptop to the SanDisk drive in under 20 seconds. I was very impressed with how quickly I was able to transfer the media. I'll be using this to transfer large files between my home and work. It's a nice sized drive too, slightly smaller than a credit card in width and height, and just slightly thicker than a usb plug. It also has a nice soft-touch on one side, and a textured side with the SanDisk logo. The drive itself has just a single port, which is thankfully a USB C. An adapter cable is included to go from USB C to A as well. Overall, this is a fast performaning, small and extra-portable drive.

    Picked this up to backup my computer. Works great. Fast and quite. Since then I've also begun to use it for storage of music and TV from my HTPC and again, works great.

    This thing is tiny!!!! I have been wanting a portable SSD. Not to use as a main drive for backups but, given the 1TB of space I have been able to use it as that and a go between for my files and others files as well. It is quick! Given it being an SSD and USB-C that much is expected. I love that I can toss it in my bag and not have to worry about it! My only gripe is I wish that the cable was longer *that may cause an impact in performance I guess?* or something was included like a stand so it wouldn't put a bunch of tension on your USB port depending on the layout of your PC. Laptop users need not worry though! It sounds like you've found an incredibly handy portable SSD! The combination of 1TB storage and USB-C speed makes it perfect for your needs, whether for backups or transferring files on the go. Its compact size is definitely a big plus, making it easy to carry around without any hassle. I can understand your point about the cable length. A longer cable or an included stand could certainly help reduce tension on the USB port, especially for desktop PC users. It's great that laptop users have less to worry about in that regard.

    Got the Sandisk for a last minutiae file extraction/ transfer! Over 900gbs in the drive no issues, and transferred everything over seamlessly, and quickly! Needed it quick, so I’m glad I was able to snag it from Best Buy right before they closed!

    I've come to trust SanDisk as a brand. I've not had any issues with their products. Never had to use customer service for anything. This unit is simple plug in and load it with files. It's great storage, quick and easy. Everything's getting more pricy, but this is/was a good value.

    I love it - perfect size - it's small, but not easy to lose like a USB stick - and great capacity for home use. I hook it up to my laptop and then edit and transfer photos from my Amazon/Google/Dropbox accounts as I watch TV and free up cloud storage. I bought on sale and so feel as though I got good/fair price.

    Nice reliable SSD that'll fit in your pocket, great for laptops or tablets without much space, especially if you're a creative type who wants to work with a set of files across multiple systems. This is actually my second one! One for steam games, one for storing my music and production samples. Only issues I've had so far is that if you have a drive password enabled, it may re-lock seemingly at random and need to be unlocked again, which can cause issues with large downloads. As such, I tend to keep it unlocked at home. Another small issue is the included cable is quite short, so it's not great for desktop towers unless you make some sort of caddy for it. Overall, I'm very pleased with it, and will probably end up buying again.
