    I had to get this product since it was affordable and its and SSD. Its really easy to use its more of a plug and play device. The program inside the SSd lets you know how much storage you have left. Its durable so i take it everywhere and its water resistant so no worries on water getting on it. Planning on getting a bigger storage for my games!!!

    I bought this on sale for ~80$ USD, and I must say it was a great decision. My laptop that I use for gaming only had 500GB of ssd space, so I needed an external drive. This drive has fast read/write times, so it's on a similar level of performance, and it hasn't corrupted or overheated or had any issues at all so far. Educate yourself if you plan to use the included software.

    So far I have been very satisfied with this SSD, I was able to quickly transfer over video files with ease, and after accidentally spilling a drink on it, I was worried it was broken, but just as advertised it was perfectly fine. If the 2TB option were a little cheaper I likely would have purchased that however...

    Small, fast, ample storage. What more could you want from a portable SSD? This SanDisk Extreme ticked all the boxes for what I was looking for. It has a read/write speed that covers almost any task you'd throw at it and it's nearly microscopic size means you can truly take it anywhere. My only gripe, while very small, is that SanDisk did not include a longer cable. The cable is 6 inches at best and makes using it on certain computers more difficult. Luckily, it's USB-C and cables are cheap and readily available. It would only affect those who don't have extra cables on hand.

    I bought this SSD External to add space on my new iMac and it really does the trick, added plenty of storage for all of my files, videos & photos and I got it at a great price! And the data transfer speeds are extremely fast, I transferred about 250 GB's in less than 10 minutes.

    This was my first time using SSD's, and this was amazing. Expensive but amazing. For some reason it took a lot of time to "load" all that I needed on it, not sure why. But once loaded with my files works great. I might need larger space, hoping it would be this same size, the hooks that come with it are nice.

    I light the small size, light weight, and it is fast. with the short cable (6 inches) provided it works well with a laptop on a table. However, with the short cable it has to just hang when connected to my desktop. Otherwise a great product.

    I absolutely love this portable SSD hard drive! A year ago, I purchased a HP Pavilion x360 laptop for working at clients (since it’s powerful but small and compact). The SSD drive on the laptop wasn’t very large and could not be expanded. So, I needed a travel portable drive that was uber fast and large enough to contain all my files on my home computer. This fits the bill! I can back up/overwrite files in a matter of minutes between my home laptop and the SanDisk. And it’s small and compact so it doesn’t take up any room in my backpack. I absolutely love it. There’s only one drawback. You have to download this program from SanDisk in order to permanently delete files on the SanDisk Extreme. I found out the hard way that this was required (do not try to just delete files from the disk directly. The files may not show on your directory BUT the space is still occupied with the files which is weird). If it wasn’t for this, the review would be a solid and deserving 5 stars. But, it’s well worth the money (especially if it’s on sale).

    Fastest and lightest portable USB HDD I ever used.

    This is the fastest Portable USB Hard drive I have ever used. It is made by Western Digital who owns SanDisk. WD is known for making one of the most reliable hardrives in the industry. It comes with a USB Type C to USB Type A dongle for use on devices with older USB Type A ports. It also had a 5 year warranty. I would highly recommend this Sandisk SSD Portable USB drive to anyone who wants the fastest Portable USB Hard drive and the lightest one I have ever used. It works with the Xbox one X and the Xbox Series S & X. You can't install Xbox Series S or X games on it.. you can only install Xbox One, 360 and original Xbox games.
