    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!

    This was the first of three of these SSDs I have purchased. i now have the 2gb and the 4gb versions. All have performed flawlessly, and I particularly like for this brand when I need additional units.

    It's incredibly fast and I particularly like the form factor. They're thin and shaped nicely to fit in a pocket. Whether that's pants, shirt, bag or storage pouch, it's a good size. The edges are nicely rounded over (reduces the odds of damage when dropped) and the finish is easy to hang onto unlike some of the slick hard plastic enclosures some models use.

    I did not realize how small this was by the pictures showed online. This is honestly the best portable devices I have had. I am a photographer and I have always hated the bulk designs and I cannot use Flash Drives as they are way too slow for moving bulk raw files to my computer. This is a very good size for what it does and NVME makes it that much better. IT IS FAST

    This little SSD is unexpectedly powerful and fast. My files boot up into photoshop so much faster than it would on an external, or on my computer’s hard drive. It’s a great value for the price when you catch it on sale. I already plan on buying another one for my laptop. I previously bought a competitor brand and had to return it because it didn’t work so I am glad I went with this sandisk SSD instead.

    It was time to replace my older backup drive and this SanDisk solid state drive is the answer. I was able to match it to my laptop capacity and use it in conjunction with my OneDrive account. A good buy and it has secured access if you ever lose it.

    For anyone looking for fast transfer speeds in external storage that is also slim and light, this is worth considering. The rubberized casing ads to the devices drop protection and the included usb c to usb a adapter is a nice touch.

    I wanted to have an external drive primarily for data back up. The SanDisk 1TB has a sturdy case and it's a convenient size. The drive has a textured exterior making it easy to handle. It has excellent reviews online and the price was very affordable.

    so far so good. My seagate crashed and all data was unrecoverable! Lost everything. Anyhow, the lesson learned is that you want your external hard drive with no moving parts. This takes up considerably less space than the seagate which was the size of a small dvd player and required a power source as well. Highly recommend this one

    My wife needed an external hard drive to back up files for work. I found this on sale at Best Buy and purchased it based on the fact that I use many SanDisk cards for my cameras and they have never failed me. I like the coma the size of this drive, and my wife says the write times to the drive are pretty fast

    Just needed a USB-C drive to transfer information between my Windows laptop and my MacBook Pro 2020. The transfer speeds are unbelievably fast, of course that’s to be expected from an SSD. Only had it for a few days so far no complaints. Since SanDisk is owned by western digital I’m sure it will be a good product. It also comes with a five year warranty.

    My wife is a photographer so this is an extremely valuable asset to anyone who is looking for more storage space yet doesn't have a lot of memory on their PC! She often brings this to clients houses to view on their machines. Can be used for any kind of document as well. She is going to use it to display all the pictures of her family on a slide show at an upcoming family event.

    I would recommend. Very FAST and it works seamless with the new M1 Mac mini. I bought it to be used for Time Machine and a Backup drive partitioned in XFAT, 50/50 split. At the 1050 Mb/s, you don't even realize there is a backup going on. I transferred a bunch of pics/video from my old computer to this SSD and it is all so fast, no more waiting and waiting to complete the file transfers.
