    Slim, durable and really like the keyhole to add onto ring. Runs hot after a while but not unusual for SSD

    This is a good device and very rugged, and while it is faster than an HDD, even on a TB4 port not near as fast as advertised.

      Hi Alfred, thanks for taking the time to post your review about the drive. Please note that the drive can be formatted using the exFAT file system so that it can be used with both macOS and Windows operating systems. Please see Answer ID 20821 (https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/20821). Please backup existing data from the drive as formatting is a data destructive process.

    Worked great when I first got it. Speed was great. Put it in a drawer after storing some files on it then about 1.5 yrs later I got it out and it would not work at all. Could not access any data on it. Odd because usually SSDs are more reliable than that and I have had good experiences with WD/Sandisk in the past. It does have a 5yr warranty though I do not have much confidence that a replacement will be any better. I would recommend to avoid this product as other reviews also mention this issue. Even common low cost USB flash drives are more reliable in my experience. If using this product make sure to backup the data on another device until SanDisk can improve the reliability.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
