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.

    Works as expected, easy pick up too. No issues utilizing for mac. Can do backups or partition for time capsules then have for storage. I like that it's smaller than a credit card and uses type c. Consider the bigger capacity bc it's also built well and pretty fast!

    Best SSD's

    Excellent product, I've bought several of these as backup drives for my projects and they're the fastest, most durable, and most compact I've found. I'd love to have more options for greater storage space but that's my only critique
