You WILL lose your data
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SanDisk extremes (circal 2023) are no longer reliable. When they get about 1/2-full, they fail completely, with no chance of recovery. Search for "Sandisk extreme defect" and you'll find lots of stories about this, for example: https://www.theverge.com/22291828/sandisk-extreme-pro-portable-my-passport-failure-continued WD offers a firmware update, but your data is gone for good: https://www.theverge.com/22291828/sandisk-extreme-pro-portable-my-passport-failure-continued

Extremely low transfer speeds.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chose to buy this SSD over some of the competitors because I liked the way it looked and I am a photographer, so I trust Sandisk SD Cards. I do regret it though. I am using this just to transfer exported photo and video files between devices and as a backup. The FIrst few times it worked well and the transfer speeds were fast. But out of nowhere after a few uses, the highest speed I can get while transferring is about 20 mbp/s. Sometimes it stops transferring all together. It tends to throttle between 5mbp/s and 20. Tried doing some research online and some people have had this problem but still have not found a solution. Hopefully, bestbuy lets me return this for a Samsung SSD.

Drive will fail
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Please do some research on this line of ssd before purchasing. SanDisk knows these are flawed and there is no real way to fix them. I purchased one because it looks like a great deal but after losing important data and currently going through my second round of warranty replacements I advise you to look at alternative options to this one.

Don't trust your photos with these.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are just not well-made. I did my research and thought it would be a reliable product, but mine failed in about seven weeks of minimal (less than weekly) backups of my Lightroom library. Looking around, they are getting a lot of other one-star ratings for failure. Definitely not what you want in a drive that is supposed to backup important files. Or anything for that matter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDO NOT BUY!! MASSSIVE DATA LOSS ISSUE
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a massive issue in these deives causing them to fully fail and lose data that WD refuses to acknowledge. I took this drive to a data recovery center and the guy laughed and said he was so sorry.

Fails to store data (what it is meant for)
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I stored files on this drive as usual. The next day I opened the drive. My client's video files are gone. I thought it was my mistake and tried again. It FAILED AGAIN. It is so frustrating to me as I brought a couple of these and it is past the return window. Just stay away from SanDisk drives.

Stopped working after 6 weeks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to imagine this gets so many stars. Mine stopped working after 6 weeks and the number of forum posts that describe the same issue are numerous. My mac simply does not recognize it anymore. All data lost.

POOR QUALITY
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went through 2 of these (2TB) and had the same problem with the computer not being able to recognize the drive. Every time it was plugged in, it would ask to be formatted - which erases everything on the drive.

Another DEAD SanDisk, believe the reviews!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They work great until one day you plug it in and it is unreadable. I used it for off line storage, rarely connected, lightly used, kept inside. I'll NEVER buy another SanDisk product. Ask me if I think you should...

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason these are so cheap is because there is a firmware issue that deletes files. Google Sandisk 2TB SSD Issues for a multitude of reported issues.
