    Portable USB SSD drives are super convenient. Fast copying of data, very light and compact. But, the larger capacity (2tb, 4tb) SanDisk Extreme Pro and Extreme SSDs have garnered a reputation for sudden and complete data loss. The parent corporation has addressed this problem by drastically dropping the price. If you can’t resist the sale, make sure that AT NO TIME you have your files exclusively on this drive alone.

    I've needed a hard drive for my photography and I haven't had to think about this purchase once. USB-C cord is a game changer over the obscure cord I was nervous to lose everyday before. It moves quick too and pretty cheap compared to my last hard drive with less space.

    Great drive with one minor issue

    So far this SSD has been OK at best. It’s great that it’s a sleek and small with a decent amount of storage, but I keep having issues with it showing up on my Mac. I plug the SSD into my PC and the drive is recognized just fine, but plugged into my Mac, can’t be recognized. I have to then plug it into my pc and run a diagnostic on it to fix it and then it works on my Mac. A bit annoying, but that’s my only issue with it. That inconvenience is what drove me to mark this as 3 stars. Otherwise the drive works well and is useful in the exact way I need it, to provide extra storage to my 500gb Mac and be lightweight, sleek, and easily stored into my travel gear.

    I love this drive so much I'm buying 1 more. This one is for my desktop as I want to have it for an external backup, maybe it might also be for my surface as well so I can put my windows installs of both machines, I don't know yet. Sandisk is. The one thig I love is you can use it on both USBC and USB type A drive as it ships with an adapter. the thin to put it on your belt is nifty too
