Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Extreme Portable 1TB External USB-C NVMe SSD's impressive portability, speed, and compact size. Many appreciate its large storage capacity and lightweight design. However, some users mention that the drive can get warm during use and that the included cable is shorter than desired. A few also find the price to be relatively high.

    This is my second Extreme SanDisk. Great backup option in addition to cloud storage, because you never know... There is a little bit of a lag when saving files to it, that is why 4 stars, otherwise no problems.

    Excellent speeds that actually utilize USB3.0 bandwidths like I've never been able to see in an external drive before! I transferred gigabytes of data in seconds, almost as if it were another internal drive. Faster, even, than an internal spinning disk drive! Yet, it also functions very well as a boot drive like a thumb drive so that I can have a bootable recovery and troubleshooting environment. I love this drive! This drive is truly worth the cost.

    I have been slow to jump on the SSD train, and I am wondering why I waited so long! I travel a lot for work while also running my photography business on the side and these small SSD's really make a difference in the weight of my bag, as well as I don't have to worry about if they get bumped around a lot. Transfer speeds are extremely fast compared to my external hard drives. Highly recommend!

    I use this for my Lightroom catalog for editing pictures. I purchased this because I heard on YOUTUBE from a reputable photographer that using one of these while going back and forth between a laptop and a pc would Lightroom work faster. I can say it has! I love Sandisk recovery tech people especially as well as they have been helpful every time, and generous with their time. They have helped me recover deleted files in the past that had not been formatted yet.

    Product works great. Remember to check your devices if they are compatible with the newest USB (3.0 I believe). Wished the double sided type C cable was longer and a tighter connection to the USB adapter

    I got my son a gaming laptop and I skimped on the hard drive (may bad and not too smart, ces't la vie). Thus, I had to come up with an external option. I also wanted one that would connect to the "C" USB port and get maximum transfer. This thing flies!! The connection between the SanDisk and the computer is flawless and all the data migrated brilliantly.
