    This SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is fantastic! The speed is incredible for transferring large files, but what really makes it a winner is the size. It's so conveniently small and portable, I can slip it into my pocket or bag without taking up any space. This makes it the perfect external drive for travel or moving between different workstations. Highly recommend!

    If you're looking for a fast and convenient storage option, look no further. This is portable SSD is extremely fast. I was able to copy over 8gb of videos and photos from my internal SSD on my laptop to the SanDisk drive in under 20 seconds. I was very impressed with how quickly I was able to transfer the media. I'll be using this to transfer large files between my home and work. It's a nice sized drive too, slightly smaller than a credit card in width and height, and just slightly thicker than a usb plug. It also has a nice soft-touch on one side, and a textured side with the SanDisk logo. The drive itself has just a single port, which is thankfully a USB C. An adapter cable is included to go from USB C to A as well. Overall, this is a fast performaning, small and extra-portable drive.

    great external SSD for backup needs

    This thing is tiny!!!! I have been wanting a portable SSD. Not to use as a main drive for backups but, given the 1TB of space I have been able to use it as that and a go between for my files and others files as well. It is quick! Given it being an SSD and USB-C that much is expected. I love that I can toss it in my bag and not have to worry about it! My only gripe is I wish that the cable was longer *that may cause an impact in performance I guess?* or something was included like a stand so it wouldn't put a bunch of tension on your USB port depending on the layout of your PC. Laptop users need not worry though! It sounds like you've found an incredibly handy portable SSD! The combination of 1TB storage and USB-C speed makes it perfect for your needs, whether for backups or transferring files on the go. Its compact size is definitely a big plus, making it easy to carry around without any hassle. I can understand your point about the cable length. A longer cable or an included stand could certainly help reduce tension on the USB port, especially for desktop PC users. It's great that laptop users have less to worry about in that regard.

    Got the Sandisk for a last minutiae file extraction/ transfer! Over 900gbs in the drive no issues, and transferred everything over seamlessly, and quickly! Needed it quick, so I’m glad I was able to snag it from Best Buy right before they closed!
