I purchase this after already buying the PRO version and not getting 2000 MB/s. I kept both but this is more affordable and they both have the same speed on a 14" MacBook Pro. Im getting about 1000MB/s max.

This an excellent portable external USB backup. It is very easy to install, use, very reliable and I am most happy that I have it. I use it every day while I use my PC.

The best ssd for a crazy good price—this is my third ssd from sandisk, they’re the only one that haven’t failed on me (my oldest is over 5 years old and works like new)

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!

Picked this up to backup my computer. Works great. Fast and quite. Since then I've also begun to use it for storage of music and TV from my HTPC and again, works great.

Very impressed with this drive. And the compact and rugged exterior casing - with the speed as well.
Standard port is USB-C but comes with an adaptor to USB-A.
no drivers needed for win10 - was auto-detected and able to use.
Encryption software is INCLUDED!
Does the job, good sizing at 1 TB and very quick!

This portable SSD is perfect.
It's small and inconspicuous. People won't hesitate to ask you "What is that?" and you will drink in their envy as you explain how the future of portable media is already here in your pocket.
It is so tactile you'll find yourself absentmindedly running your fingers over the drop-resistant surface. It becomes meditative, like prayer beads or a fidget spinner.
I have primarily used this SSD to move shows and movies to my android phone, easily accomplished with X-Plore or Total Commander. The only way it could be more accessible would be if it could conduct wireless data transfers, but you'll hardly notice that middleman of a cable with its blazing fast speeds and 2022 ready USB-C port. If you're currently relying on ancient portable hard drives for this service, forget about having a USB to USB-C converter or needing a drive mounting app on your phone or worrying about power consumption.
This thing is resilient. Like, so resilient I felt compelled to write this, my first ever review, because the world needs to know. Sure, this SSD survived flying thousands of miles and suffered use and abuse for six months aboard a Los-Angeles-class Fast Attack Submarine, but it faced its greatest challenge upon returning to shore: when it went through the washer and dryer. And it still works. My files are still intact and accessible.
Now, I don't know if the engineers at SanDisk took this thing home and left it in their own shorts to be put through the wash - for science - and I certainly don't recommend anyone try this on their own, but I was ecstatic to discover that The Little SSD That Could still could.
If I were to give this piece of modern engineering a con, it would be: The SanDisk Extreme Portable Solid State Drive is so small and so portable you can forget it's in your pocket and accidentally send it through the washer and dryer.
But if you want a reliable, laundry-resistant SSD, you can't go wrong here. Just get yourself the 2TB model; you deserve it.

Got this at discounted price, its a steal! Fast and durable, easy to edit photos and video from, using on a MAC. No extreme heat or anything from it when using.

Nice reliable SSD that'll fit in your pocket, great for laptops or tablets without much space, especially if you're a creative type who wants to work with a set of files across multiple systems. This is actually my second one! One for steam games, one for storing my music and production samples. Only issues I've had so far is that if you have a drive password enabled, it may re-lock seemingly at random and need to be unlocked again, which can cause issues with large downloads. As such, I tend to keep it unlocked at home. Another small issue is the included cable is quite short, so it's not great for desktop towers unless you make some sort of caddy for it. Overall, I'm very pleased with it, and will probably end up buying again.
