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.

    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.

    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.

    Coming from the days when a 1TB drive was the size of a brick, this is a terrific plug & play that is fantastically portable!

    I bought this for my wife to use it with her MacBook and after she got the iPhone 15 which now uses USB C, she can use it on both, her laptop and iPhone, she's very happy with its storage capacity and transfer speed.

    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

    I love this thing. I’m currently using it between two newer MacBook pros and it transfers large files blazingly fast. The only downside so far with it is the cable length. The three inch cord doesn’t give you much wiggle room, but thunderbolt cables give the same speeds

    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

    The size is the selling point of this hard drive - super easy to bring with me anywhere. Pretty fast for file transfer. Quite pleased with this purchase and will buy again once this one fills up!

    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.

    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

    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.
