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). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    Issues out the gate. Nowhere near the performance expected for an external SSD. Instead buy a nvme ssd and hard drive inclosure. Less money and better results

    Great speed and durability, but ran out of storage quickly. I love how compact and rugged it is, but I wish it was more affordable and offered higher storage options. Still a solid choice overall.
