Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use this external drive to clone my desktop pc. Very fast read and write.

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.

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!

It’s what was needed in a crucial time while traveling

A lot of space perfect for saving pictures and videos

Really like this small, compact SSD. Extremely fast. Large 1tb capacity is more than enough for photos and files.

It's small and fast to down load. For something this small it really works great.

This thing worked extremely well. I got rid of a MacBook and wanted unload everything from it to transfer over to a PC.

It is awesome having a thumb drive with this capacity. I’ve had too many individual 256 GB thumb drives in the past. Currently enrolled in college going through a pharmaceuticals program so I have a lot of chemistry information on my thumb drive. I like to collect gems and design and scale trains. I don’t think I’ll ever have to buy another thumb drive. On a sidenote, the Individual, who provided me assistance at Best Buy in Webster Texas was very kind and informed me that it will be sufficient for me to use as well playing Minecraft. My computer doesn’t have much memory.

reliable, relatively fast transfer speeds, and very small

I love it. It's super compact and easy to carry. No issues at all.

Si dar it’s been working great! Happy w my purchase!

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.

Extremely fast upload speed - I am highly impressed.

Works great for my PC and the extra storage that I was needing. Quick and easy setup no issues.

Great storage for my photography work to free up my laptop storage. Small to carry anywhere with you as well. Love it over all for option for storage sandisk

Great drive. Easy to use, no connection or lag ussies at all. Best Buy always makes it easy to search, but and pick up.

Nice size and fits my needs. Does what it was made for.

Small. Fast. Reliable. It worth it. I need to buy two more.

Let's start off by saying I needed something easy/foolproof (not some crazy format/interface i'd have to get used to or deal with file type conversions), reliable (doesn't make my files go poof or disappear or decide to quit working randomly), secure (could put a password on certain files or the whole hard drive), light weight, portable, and with a reasonably large amount of storage. SSD is the way to go when choosing between SSD and other standard hard drives. It is durable to a point and won't break with frequent use as long as you make sure you don't plug it in while your computer is charging, keep it cool (some heat is generated when using and that is normal), and don't drop it into a blender (or leave it in an autoclave) so treat it like you would most tech devices. I am a loyal Mac user and my college uses PC predominately, so I needed an external hard drive that could safely save and store files and have them in a format that would transfer well between Mac and PC and some various educational and lab software and not have to constantly deal with file type conversions. I also needed this to handle a vast amount of school files, internship files, and personal files and wasn't a pain to haul around or worry about it getting hacked. It is small about the size of a deck of cards but slightly thinner and fits in the palm of my hand, clips onto my keyring, and came with both a usb and usb-c connector (idk if it works with lightning connectors or iPhone/IOS storage haven't tried that yet) but it has managed everything from Microsoft Word Products to Apple Pages products to videos, audio recordings, pictures, CAD files, Texas Instrument Calculator Files, Apps and Programs I rarely use, etc and has been amazing. For the average college student and person I would say its a perfect backup hard drive but for me and my excessively large files it makes a wonderful portable flash drive! I hate paying for cloud storage and I like my digital data in a more tangible form.. so far it has saved me money. In my 90 or so days of use it has been phenomenal!
