    Needed an external drive to store recording software music libraries and this drive does a great job of that. I considered the faster version, but the speed of this drive works just fine for my application. Small and compact, easy to use with my MacBook Pro M1 Pro and it just works.

    Only disks I'll use without fear of breakdown. Fast as lightning for transferring large video files and always without error. Can be pricey, but often on sale at BB.

    When connected to my Microsoft Surface Book 3 I see +900MB\sec transfer speeds which is absolutely incredible. Most advertised speeds on devices like this are garbage. Oddly when connected to my Surface Studio 2 maxed out around 600MB\sec. I love the size and build of the device. I can see me using this for the next decade.

    SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is a solid external SSD for frequent travelers and content creators alike. It has decent speed, data encryption, and some protection from the elements, all at a reasonable price

    This device helps save enough space on my laptop. The upload and download speed works well. Once I have a thunderbolt port for a new laptop, this will eventually be much better for more full potential.

    Love this, it comes with both a usb-c and usb-a connection. Easy to use and setup. I do wish you could could encrypt just certain folders vs the whole drive. This is very fast and very portable and great for extended storage. It's not contest between this and an HDD.

    This is my external storage and working drive for my MacBook Pro. All of my client and working files are here. Its is super fast and the files are accessed as quickly as if it was an internal drive. Its has no no issues with connection or stability. I am getting a second one to back up the first.

    Bought this to to play backwards compatible PS4 titles on my PS5. The speed is almost as fast as the internal storage. Drive gets very warm, but zero issues so far. Highly recommended for use with the PS5 console. Only downside is the included USB cable is only about three inches long, so keep that in mind when purchasing.

    This little SSD feels solid and transfers data very fast. I use it as an external copy of my important data that also lives in the cloud. You never know when a cloud service may stop working or you may lose access. I'm going to also use it to store large videos on that I'm editing on my iPad Pro.

    It's as described, and files can be retrieved fast. My only "complaint" is that the cord is so short that it is hard to use with the laptop on my lap.

    If you just want some extra memory or don’t want to take up room on your device but need access to your stuff, this is the device for you. It’s super slim, compact and lightweight but offers so many storage options to meet almost every person’s needs in terms of memory.

    I bought this as an extra storage unit for my laptop. I thought it may be nice for moving videos from one computer to another . I was very surprised at how fast it would download a video. It is a very compact unit for being 1 Terabyte and comes with the cord and 2 types of plugs. I plan on buying a bigger one next

    I love this portable drive. It is so fast and efficient! I currently use it to save photos and videos from my phone to free up the internal memory space. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted with the speed transfer.

    SanDisk - Extreme Portable 1TB External USB-C NVMe SSD drive definitely transfers data rather quickly compared to my other older SSD drives. I like that it is compact and also has an adapter included to transfer from USB-A.
