Rugged, portable, fast storage
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The SanDisk Extreme 1TB External USB Type-C (NVMe) Portable Solid State Drive is a rubberized, heavy-duty, small form factor, fast, portable storage device. I’ll describe my feelings about it based on what I used it for. I do some hobby cinematography shooting in 4k 24fps most of the time. That’s a pretty good amount of data that needs to be moving fast between devices and takes up lots of space. This device has not given me even a hiccup so far. I have transferred over 2 TB’s of data over the course of a few days. This SSD is significantly faster than any SSD I have owned. The fact that it's so ruggedly built makes me believe it will last a long time no matter what abuse you expose it to. If you are like me and need a fast, 1TB built to last portable SSD, this device is one of the best you can buy.
I would recommend this to a friend Do Not Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendAvoid at All Costs
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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.
