    Compact and light, very nice to have all your large files fit in something so small. I wish I would have gotten more than the 1TB. It fills up so fast by how convenient it is to grab, dump, and go.

    The best thing I like about the product is its security. In Windows, after you set a password for the drive, when you plug it in, it appears as a read-only CD Drive. You run a program on that drive to enter the password. After you enter the password the whole drive appears. You don't have to put the files you want password-protected into a vault as with other Sandisk drives.

    It’s tiny, fast and seems sturdy. The small size is convenient to pack and go. This was purchased primarily for file and photo backups and it didn’t take long to transfer everything from an older drive. The security features are a nice plus.

    Fast & Durable

    It was either this SanDisk or the Samsung SSD, and I'm glad I went with this! Much more durable than my older hard drive and incredibly fast- editing 4K footage on an iMac with Final Cut Pro. I actually went out and got a second one of these after maxing out the storage on my first. Both have been put through a lot- being slung in the bottom of my backpack, tossed on the desk, even dropped in a coffee shop- and no issues! Also keeps really clean! Writing this review as I'm considering getting a third one.

    I love the size of this drive! It is easy to carry around in a backpack and it doesn’t take much space at the desk or wherever it is used. The data transfer speed is fantastic!

    Product is exactly what I was looking for. It is a well designed plug and play external HD, at a very reasonable price. Couldn’t have asked for more. The Best Buy order on line and pick up in a locker worked flawlessly.

    SSD Drives, Learn what speed you need.

    small, sturdy, occasionally on sale. I only buy solid state anymore. learn the differences in USB 3.0 Gen 1 Gen 1.1 Gen 1.2 Gen 2.0 Gen 2.1 ng Gen 2.2, and NVMe encoding. You may have guessed that Gen 2.2 is fastest. it is also the most expensive. In fact the top of the line is probably faster than anything you will connect to it. So if you don't need it save $50 per TB and get the slower one. But I am a speed snob so I get a few of the fastest and they are my working drives. the medium and slow ones are foe cold storage. I have some of the fisrt SSD and they still work well. Also I learned one thing recently. Don't constantly defrag SSD. It uses up some of its life and it isn't that necessary.

    You could use it for photos, hook it up to your pc, it allows you to store games on it, or use it on your phone to save your photos instead of paying for “apple cloud” or any other cloud storage subscriptions that company's offer
