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.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works very well but it apparently cannot be used for another android device after using it on a first android device without reformatting it. Not pleased about that!

Posted .Please allow us to inform you that the amount of current required to power this portable SSD device is approximately 1.1 amps. This SSD should work with most higher-end mobile phones that do provide sufficient power. However, we would suggest you check the same with your host device manufacturer. If you require any further assistance, please reach out to our support available at https://www.sandisk.com/about/contact/customer-care.
Poor order fulfillment; SanDisk testing TBD
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Price match was easy. Item arrived 3 days late. Poor shipping; NO packing material in the box. Haven’t yet been able to use because of family issues. Will update once used.

Broke after 1.5 years and BestBuy won't refund me
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Completely broke after only 1.5 years. There was no warning, no physical damage, nothing. I didn't even carry this with me anywhere. It was just plugged in on my home computer. Out of a sudden its stopped being recognized by any computer. The cable works. Absolute worthless. BestBuy refused to refund my money, since it is outside of the return window. Never did I have an external hard-drive stop working, especially after not even 2 years. I would not recommend this, unless you like loosing all your data. They should have refunded me, because this is unacceptable.

A perfect item to travel with
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A perfect device for storing photos and videos while traveling. I don't always have the ability to upload stuff when on vacation. I attach this with a small locking carabiner in my backpack. Comes with a short usb cable. Is very sturdy.
I would recommend this to a friendGarbage SSD Drive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This drive is garbage due to it's Sandisk Unlocker program that is difficult to remove from the drive. It not only takes a lot of trial and error to get my computer to recognize it each time I plug it in, it also literally blocks access to my other drives on my computer. I'm using a 2 year old Dell, somewhat higher end laptop and I'm hardly an amateur when it comes to hardware. The portability function of this drive is also worthless because neither my work PC nor my other desktop will recognize this thing. Don't plan on taking this drive elsewhere if you plan on sharing files.

Decline of quality makes me think twice
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It still works hence 2 stars, but larger capacity models have serious issues. Sandisk used to be a brand I trusted and Western Digital (who bought them) was in the past a reliable brand. I'm not sure what is happening with the quality of products now but I cannot recommend these brands' products anymore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOverheating
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gets very hot when using. It does work with IPad. Overall a good product but I do worry about for how long due to heating up.
I would recommend this to a friendFailed drive after 13 months
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After having a WD hard drive fail on me, I decided to purchase this SSD in July 2022. It worked great up until today (August 2023). After working perfectly for the past year, it all of a sudden will not mount on either of my Macs or show up in disk utility. I have tried multiple cables and ports with no luck. Very frustrating to have a second drive fail. I will try my luck with Samsung's SSD.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDo Not Buy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This SSD crashed after hardly using it. Will never buy this brand again. And from research I am not the only one who had an issue like this. I had to use a recovery utility to move my data off onto another SSD.

Posted .We're sorry to hear about your experience with the SSD. While our products undergo rigorous testing, issues can occasionally arise. We recommend checking the drive's status through your operating system's Disk Utility/Disk Management. Kindly ensure the drive is firmly connected to the port and test it with a different computer using a different cable.

Very nice and compact
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very compact, a bit pricey if you pay full price; but these are usually on sale quite often.

Got too hot for me!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned it within a few days as it got really hot (almost to hot to hold after use). While it was extremely fast, I was not willing to chance the high temps/heat of the device. Sets up easily.
