Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased for doing Time Machine backups on my new Mac. It’s very compact and backs the machine up in less than five minutes.

Can't beat this digital storage unit for the small size. solid state quickness and low price. Of course, I bought it on sale!

This is a good value for a 2TB drive and seems well made. I had trouble registering it with Western Digital (owner of SanDisk) because their form does not recognize this Best Buy version (apparently) but I emailed the company and they registered it for me. I would also urge anyone who buys. this or similar product to check for firmware updates. Some of these had an issue where they would just randomly disconnect while still connected via the cable. Western Digital has a firmware fix for the problem. I like how portable this is but dislike that it doesn't have enough heft to sit flat when connected. The drive is so lightweight that the mere fact that you attack the cable means it will not sit flat on the desk. I also don't like the absence of an indicator light to suggest when it is powered. (Prior experience with external drives is that these lights are useful for troubleshooting if and when they eventually become disconnected or stop working properly.) I would have liked to buy this in another color but strangely the other colors cost more. (Seriously?) All in all, this is a good value and highly portable. It just irks me that once connected it refuses to sit flat on a desk!

I purchased this to hold my photos and documents. I have had it for over a year and it still works great! I thought i would fill it up with my 1000s of pictures, but i still have tons of room. I totally recommend.

This SSD performs great with very fast data transfer. I also love how small it is for 2 TB . I would recommend this for anyone needing extra storage at a good price.

SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is a solid external SSD for frequent travelers and content creators alike. It has decent speed, data encryption, and some protection from the elements, all at a reasonable price

I loveeee love love this hard drive. It’s so fast and small. I love that it’s portable and travel size!

I have about 1700 CD's which are all lossless on my hard drive so I needed a large capacity drive for my car, which doesn't have a CD player. This is recognized by my car audio (Audi) so I have my complete audio library in my car in CD quality. I've had this for about 11 months and it works fine.

These are the best. I’ve never had an issue with them and they are so compact. I’ll keep purchasing again and again.

Incredibly lightweight and small. Very fast for - using if for Apple Time Machine backups on a MacBook Air. So much faster than previous hard drives.

Small, light, responsive, purchased for backup while traveling. Good value when on sale. As with HDDs, I would not rely on SSDs for keeping the sole copy of data.

Works well on Mac for backups after reformat. Pretty fast but for backups definitely slower than advertised. Not sure if that is on its end or the macs, but it still did 250 gigabytes in about an hour or two. A little pricier than some with similar storage capacity, but this one is faster and smaller than most ssds out their for this price.

I use this SSD drive for my photos and videos. It's nice and easy to use. I can plug into my Tv's USB port and it's so easy to view my photos and videos

Great for storage and fast enough to fun and store games or movies on. Slim design and durable for travel. I take mine everywhere while traveling for work.

Fast and so far reliable. Price was great on the 2T model. Glad I purchased this, the color also makes it stand out to find it easy since its very portable.

I love how compact the SSD is, and it performs super well and efficiently!!

Small, very small. This thing transfers fast and I used it to store all my family photos and videos. I also backed up documents and took pictures of my kids’ art and projects from school. This thing is awesome.

Great external hard drive. Transfer speed is great and seems reliable.

Great item! 2TB Really cleaned up space on my five year old laptop. A lot of old data, pictures and apps was easy to add to SanDisk external SSD.

SanDisk is the only Solid State external Hard Drives that I buy. I am very pleased with Solid State vs my slower externals. When using a Time Machine Slow is Fine, but if you are working with Photos you need speed for Editing, Coping, Opening etc. This is the brand and size to use. Make sure to Format for your computer and you will be good to go.
