This is my 3rd Sandisk Extreme. My second unreliable one. I deeply wish I could recommend this. My first model of the slower model of these was great for the first year. Now it's unreliable as well. My first Sandisk Extreme was not the "pro" model but I edited from it nearly every day. It was the 500gb model and I lost the cord nearly right away. I replaced the cord with an amazon basics USB C cord and it worked great for over a year! Then I needed to upgrade space since I was becoming more pro. I got the 2TB version of the "non-pro" model. I was doing a MASSIVE project, filling most of the drive in one go, and the drive kept interrupting the transfer. It was lightning fast for about 3gbs of data and then would abort the transfer. I pegged it for overheating, so I used the slower cord of Amazon basics and it actually helped, but still aborted transfer. So I transferred it for the "pro" model, paying the extra cost for the increased reliability. Nope. 2 months in and this drive is now not being read by our computer. We are putting WEDDINGS on this drive, events that will never be recreated again. I'm very lucky we have multiple backups, this unreliability is unacceptable for the "pro drive. And the drive is unreadable?? It was doing great for the first 2 months, but for as expensive as this is, it had better be reliable for years, especially considering the "pro" moniker. Idk, I still have Sandisk SD cards, but I have since started using the Samsung T7 drives and have had ZERO issues with them for DAILY PROFESSIONAL USE. So Eff these drives, I want my money back. Go Samsung for your hard drives as far as I'm concerned.

Already had one of the 2TB so it was a no brainer to buy a second one.

Works flawlessly with my new macbook pro. I am a wedding and portrait photographer

Great portable drive to keep your files on the go. I travel a lot and need to access files from multiple sources. This by far is the easiest ways of doing it.

I want to replace all of my old HDDs with these. Solid state drives are the way to go. The size of this drive combined with its capacity and speed are great.

Great and easy to use. Just as advertised! Thanks.

I use this for my Xbox Series X, and the transfer speeds are great for moving games beween this and the internal ssd or external ssd card on the XBOX

Great value during discount. Still not fast enough.

Fast enough to max out your system capacity. No need for the newer model with faster speed because you will never be able to use that speed

Seems complicated to use. I have watched YouTube and had to ask my son to help.

Not fast enough to be used for ps5 but can work with ps4 downloads however.

As advertised, price was excellent. Fast backup speed.

I have this divece for file music and video do not play very well.

I needed a larger SSD drive for a video project and tried this one after seeing a few reviews. Has served me well thus far.

Worked well for what I needed. Transfer speeds seemed low.

seems ok, hope it will keep working despite small size

I started my photography hobby, and this portable ssd is great to store my photos and videos on the go to clear up SD card space.

I dont have all the specs, but i got this to store music and pictures snd video. Works so fast uding a thunderbolt 4 connection

Trouble using: so far not recognized by either 2012 or 2019 Macbook Pro laptops. Bought 10/2022. Very disappointed with Best Buy Customer Service- wasted 1+1/2 hrs trying to obtain answer to simple question as to what was minimum Mac operating system this would work with (after I could not find on operating system- was transferred from Tech Support, Sales help, to Geek Squad- basically every department either transferred me back to one of the others, and I was repeatedly told/encouraged to go to a Best Buy store in person + w/end result of purchasing Geek Squad Services to use their special programs to accomplish my end reason for backing up my 2012 laptop... but I still needed to backup the computer contents beforehand on an External Drive that would be w/my older Mac + Operating system. They wouldno/or could not look up the answer to my basic question as to the minimal operating system (or, whether this Sandisk External Drive was compatible with my laptop w/a 10.14 operating system. I felt most answers were aimed at my purchasing services in-store. Then I called Sandisk (division of WD) + have been holding over 2 hrs!! While waiting I have continued to research an answer on the internet & have found that some users of these Sandisk External drives (especially the 4 TB capacity)- had a disturbing problem of malfunction w/Data Loss, + some problems if use attempted w/Monterey (the manufacturer had promised updates/a solution that has not been forthcoming (I also see that I paid double the current price)... I am very disappointed that Best buy workers would not/could not answer my simple question so I know whether to order other External Drives for my 2012 if this one is not compatible (I need more than one type of backup + want more than one device). After the lack of support- I do not recommend the product; or buying from Best Buy unless one is very computer saavy & will not need tech help. I find it unbelievable that I could not obtain a simple answer from any of the several individuals in multiple departments at Best Buy as to the compatible operating systems for a product they sell.

Decent speed but not upto the mark as mentioned on product.
