Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Extreme Portable 2TB External USB-C NVMe SSD as highly portable and appreciate its excellent overall performance and compact size. The generous storage capacity is also frequently praised. While some users noted that the drive can get warm during extended use and that the included cable is short, these concerns are less prevalent than positive feedback.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Have a bunch of these and am getting nervous as they are starting to have issues. Also, I wound up buying my own apple branded cables since the ones they come with don't seat well into the drive.

    After buying this read news stories about data loss and WD issuing firmware updates. I have used Sandisk for many years before WD brought them. I have always expected quality and performance and durability from Sandisk and WD but this news about sudden data loss and a possible lawsuit make me wonder about the quality of the brand. Its still working it I’m getting a different brand device as a secondary backup.

    Averages around 700 MBps write and 800 MBps read on a USB C (USB 3.2 Gen2) interface so reasonably close to the rated maximum speed. Connected to an Apple silicon MacBook Pro. Drive formatted with APFS (encrypted).

    Computer backup

    I took my computer in to help solve photo problem and I ended up buying external disc. The Geek individual recommended I CLEAN computer and backup files. I believe they forgot to back it up because I do not have my original apple softwares, no email, not able to load photos from other app, lost some documents, etc. It is a mess, my computer does not function the same as it did and the programs/software they loaded is out of date and it just NOT my original system. Jared Phelps gave me his email to contact him if I had problems and I have emailed him 3 times and he has not responded and this has been over several weeks. I need an appointment to get this resolved. I believe the GEEK SQUAD achanged/ruined my computer systems and DID NOT BACK IT UP.

    Crashed on me twice! I've never had an SSD crash on me. Let alone twice! That's unheard of. These San Disk SSDs are complete garbage. And the Best Buy Total Tech program is completely worthless because Best Buy wouldn't even give me instore credit despite the insane amount of money I spend with them. Never buying San Disk again. Samsung only!

    Horrible. I own about 20 hard drives, and this one seemed like a good deal. After adding tons of personal files to it, it will now not register, at all, on any computer.
