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.

    The only downside

    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

    Small in size, build quality feels solid, and while I don't have any speed test apps ( plenty of those out there and all are quick) it transfers files CONSIDERABLY FASTER than a traditional HDD. I did not use any of the included software asI formatted it to be a Time Machine BackUp for my Mac. On on sale for $100. Money well spent, happy customer.

    Good compact, portable, SSD drive. Ideal for on the go, plastic casing feels solid and won’t break from normal drop height. Brand name is a cost a little more than others but design makes up for it

    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 used this drive for backing up as well as transferring my desktop files and runs through 500GB much quicker than I've ever seen a backup drive do so, and with no errors. What would've taken overnight in transfer time with a traditional drive took a matter of a couple of hours on this one.

    I purchased the SanDisk external USB-C for my husband to use with his photos. It's a great value for the price and meets his photo storage needs. It's extremely light and portable!

    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!

    Crazy fast drive. Using this off a USB - C port on a laptop This drive has a m.2 WD Blue inside. It looks like the cap speed is about 615MB/S. It will slow down some when copying tons of small files. I do play games off this drive. Tom Clancy's Breakpoint, Black Desert Online, World of Tanks - I see no performance diff from the SATA ssd I was using before.

    Had the device for 3-4 weeks now and I have had no issue with it. The read and write speeds are fast, I like the fact that the ssd is designed to be rugged so I don’t have to worry if my drive takes a fall or if some liquid spills on it.

    After having multiple external hard drives crash, asked to Best Buy employee what would be a better brand of an external drive. They said to get this instead because it’s faster. Haven’t had any issues or errors with it so far

    Works as expected- very fast, small, light weight, easy to use. My only concern is it gets very warm. Apparently this is a common issue with portable ssd’s. Overall, im very happy and impressed with how fast it moves files. Wish I would’ve bought this years ago.
