    I got this to backup my wife's MacBook Air, to transfer to a new computer. The drive worked great. I like that it has USB-C and comes with an adapter to connect to old USB connectors. As long as you connect this drive to a Thunderbolt3/USB-3.2 connector, you'll be able to get the best performance. I may even buy one of these drives for my Xbox Series X to load/play Xbox One, Xbox 360, and Xbox (original) games (note: you cannot play Xbox Series X/S games from this drive, though you may save them and copy them to the internal drive).

    The Best Portable SSD

    This is a great SSD. It was a lot smaller than I expected and very thin. The only annoying thing is there are 3 versions of this same 1TB SSD so be sure to look at the transfer speed specs before pulling the trigger. There’s a 550mbps version, a 1000mbps, and 2000mbps version which are all named SanDisk Extreme. This version is the NVMe 1000mbps with USB 3.1 but there’s also a USB 3.2 version which is faster. I transferred a 900mb video from this SSD to my Moms iPad Pro and it was so fast that I thought the file never transferred. Excellent price and great product from Sandisk.

    Using this as an external drive for PS5 and so far it's working well. I'm kinda' partial to Sandisk/WD products for storage, as they generally give you a good bang for your buck. I have this attached to one of the rear Superspeed USB ports on my PS5 and have dedicated it to PS4 titles. So far, the few games I've played from it run very well. On initial connection, the drive was immediately recognized as external storage, formatted quickly and was ready to go. Very satisified so far with this purchase.

    Fast Small Convenient SSD

    I've been using this drive for the better part of a year at this point. I transfer a lot of large audio and video files back and forth between a design machine (laptop) that I take home and a production machine that's rack mounted. The file transfer speed blows me away every time, taking just seconds to transfer many gigs of data. The small form factor makes it convenient to carry in my laptop bag. It also comes with a USB-A to USB-C adaptor allowing it to be used on machines with legacy USB ports.

    REFORMAT this Sandisk to NTFS

    I have been reading and so I followed what the others did when they bought this. This item needs to be reformatted to NTFS for large number of small files to make it work good. This item comes in ExFAT format and I tried to copy one of my 16GB folders, At first it would not copy my files but once I reformatted to NTFS, I was able to copy all my files (150GB) onto the Sandisk 1TB drive without any problems. It was pretty FAST.

    This is the drive that I purchased two for the purposes of using on my Blackmagic camera. It works perfectly and it's fast and reliable. I was told to go get another drive that was cheaper (WD) but I took the chance of getting this one instead and was happier. the person I suggested something else was happier as well.

    Again, this product was the result of a long and frustrating previous experience with other people in the industry who couldn't seem to help me with my excessive photo/ video storage on my phone! Totally satisfied with this experience and product as well!
