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.

    Excellent SSD as expected with Sandisk Products

    I love my Sandisk Extreme SSD. I Use it to supplement the storage in my windows 11 laptop and for data backup. Its fast and it was an easy plug and play operation. It comes with security software to encrypt the drive contents which slows down the mounting of the drive but its an acceptable trade off for the security aspect of securing your data.

    Worked fine it initially but after about 6 months, I’ve noticed the transfer times are not as fast. The device does run hot too

    Bought this as a on-the-go content storage drive that I could edit off of. Unfortunately the drive heats up and runs extremely slow. I have some 'My Passport SSD' from WD and they work seamlessly. Was very disappointed in the performance of this drive. Fine for storage but dont plan on using it as a quick access drive.

    DO. NOT BUY. Impending lawsuit

    I finally bought this fearing my 10-15 year old HDs were going to die on me and take precious family memories with them. I should have known when more often this would suddenly eject itself. But using it so little the thought slipped my mind. Not even 2 years in and this drive is dead. "Insert disk" error on several PCs and devices. Come to learn WD is now being sued because the failures are so common yet ignored by them. These are being heavily discount often. DO NOT fall for it, WD is offloading bad products.

    My wife’s backup drive. We prefer to back important data up locally. This is a great amount of storage with USB-C speeds. I highly recommend it. It is also very compact and fits in the laptop case so she has it with her anytime she needs to use her laptop.

    Faulty drives - bad firmware, you WILL lose data

    Sandisk/Western Digital is aware of firmware problems with these drives yet they keep them on the market. Do some research, you WILL lose data if you buy this drive. At best, it'll randomly disconnect and reconnect, maybe causing some file corruption. At worst, I'll cause your whole computer to crash and shut down. Others are having the same experience. Manufacturer is in denial. These products should be pulled from the shelves.
