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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    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.

    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.
