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.

    I have owned SanDisk items in the past an have been satisfied. This External drive is a great piece of tech.. and it is small and well protected. I have completely switched to SSD, the speed and longevity is much better than the old drives.

    Solid option for NVidia Shield. And most likely any other use you might find. Doesn't get hot.

    This portable SSD is great. I was not expecting this to be so small, but I am very happy with it as it will pack away in my travel bag with no problem. The read write on this is excellent. I think the value of this portable drive is great!

    Easily the best external SSD I've ever owned. Compact, rugged, reliable, and it's got a convenient hole so you can clip it onto things. On top of that it has great read/write speeds, especially if your computer has a USB-C port.

    Super small and super fast. Using this with my 2021 MacBook Pro M1 and it works perfectly. I transfer raw photos and 4k videos to edit. It does get a little warm, but it's to be expected for how fast and well it handles big data transfers.

    Unbelievably small and fast! Time will tell how it holds up, buy I cannot find anything negative to say about this SSD. I have another portable drive that is not SSD and it’s amazing how much smaller this is. Great sale price at Best Buy, too!

    Speed and performance to edit 4K drone footage on this drive without having to download to my Mac first is time saving to say the least! Instant, would be the word to describe how fast this drive is in every way!

    I had the original 500gb drive and I loved it. My office bought the 2tb version and we love the pro speed. The 1tb version was a perfect combination of size and affordability. SanDisk has always been a company that I have trusted.

    I use this as an external SSD for my gaming PC, which has run out of space for huge games like Elden Ring and Helldivers 2. Im too lazy to go through the process of installing something internal and this is great for its price.
