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.

    Seems to work fine for a time machine drive on my MAC, although its not as fast as I thought it would be. For the price of this drive they could given you more than a 3" cable, how cheap can you get? For that reason alone I'm giving it an average rating.

    Failed drive

    Never recommending these drives. I have a 1 TB and the 4TB and they both failed together. A few months ago the drives would not load on my Mac and it turned out to be a SanDisk problem. Their solution is to use a Windows 10 or 11 computer to update the firmware, but not before making sure your files are backed up. That requires a trip to a tech support desk at Best Buy or similar, or calling a friend with said computer. Just read it for yourself on Ars Technica "SanDisk’s silence deafens as high-profile users say Extreme SSDs still broken" or any other google search for this problem will lead you to the many users who have lost files.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
