    Small, powerful, and fast!

    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).

    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...

    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!!!

    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.

    Lightening fast Solid State Drive

    I have dropped two rotational discs, rendering them useless. While I do use cloud storage, there are times when I cannot access the cloud (on some flights, in some foreign countries, in rural areas without high speed internet, etc.), so I bought this drive. Being solid state it is very fast. I recommend connecting it with its (supplied) microUSB cable and not through a microUSB-to-USB-C converter. I saw transfer speeds in excess of 50Mbs. I transferred a 3.2GB folder with 7,330 files in less than 17 seconds. Very happy with this disk

    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.

    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.
