    Love that this came with my camera purchase! I have used several different hard drives before. This one is really great, quick, and not super chunky so fits in my travel camera bag very nicely!

    This little Solid State Drive is 1gb and very portable in pocket or whatever. Excellent security, however difficulty with having it active if you leave it connected to your computer after sleep mode or shutdown, has to be unplugged and re-plugged to recognize. I am using encrypted pwd-activated mode. May be different if you are using unencrypted mode.

    Fast, compact storage I am not scared to carry around. I have had older spinning rust external drives fail on me over the years and with this SSD I am not worried. This drive is fast and compact. The drive can heat up when transferring lots of data so keep that in mind so it has some air flow around it.

    Excellent Hard Drive

    So far this is an excellent Hard-drive. It works quickly doesn't seem to get too hot. The rugged exterior is an extra layer of projection for computer data. While this is a more expensive product it's totally worth it so far. It doesn't have extra cumbersome software taking up hard drive space and Best Buy seems to provide really aggressive discounts also (large discounts that B&H and other electronic stores).

    It’s really small like very very small. Fits in the palm of your hand. But besides that I love the password security feature. Fast and reliable. Great buy but be careful because it’s so small you can easily misplace it.

    I had purchased a 256GB version of this to use as a backup for my laptop. When I started needing to share my computer with my roommate I quickly ran out of space and so I bought this 1TB one. I love that it has both a USB A and USB C connection, and it's so quick that its my laptop that is the bottleneck when transferring large files.

    I recently purchased the external hard drive, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. It's fast, reliable, and has ample storage space. Transferring files is a breeze, and it's become an essential part of my digital life. Highly recommended!

    SanDisk really came through with this portable SSD. It is the perfect size and the transfer speeds are optimal. I was initially looking at purchasing a regular portable hard drives for cost savings, but SSD's are worth the extra money. After doing my own research and speaking with a Best Buy expert, I took the dive with SanDisk. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend this device.

    If you Take lots of cell phone pictures, this is a great little device to offload them to (can find adaptors for your model cell phone on the Interwebs). Super fast read and write speeds and even built in encryption for both windows and iOS. You won’t be disappointed with solid State hard drives

    VERY portable! SUPER fast! (it's my 1st SSD) The tough exterior (rubber?) keeps it in place when on a flat surface & a key ring to use with a carabiner (when clipping it onto a backpack, or laptop bag). Very convenient!

    Four stars because it has only been in use for a month, so I have no sense of how reliable SSD will turn out to be compared to rotating media. Reliability is my most important criterion. If a drive fails and you lose data, it doesn't matter how fast, compact or pretty it was, I am using this SSD as the principal data storage on a new desktop so it gets a workout. Using external data storage is the best way I've found to get back in business after a hardware failure. I will probably buy another SanDisk SSD to replace my current backup external hard-drive as soon as I am comfortable with its reliability.

    Small with great capacity. All computers recognize this external hard drive. I received many compliments from my friends. No many people knows that this technology is ease available. Great speed of transfer. No moving parts. Very nice price at BestBuy. I bought it as gift for my friend and girlfriend as at gift. They love it. I have 2TB at home for my use. Unbelievable product to use and even to touch the very smooth surface.
