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.

    I bought this to backup all of my photos, videos, and files for my MacBook Pro. Transferring files is fast! I would highly recommended this instead of IDE or SATA hard drives because those have mechanical moving parts and tends to fail withing couple years.

    A compact and rugged drive for editing 4K video

    I bought this SanDisk 2TB USB-C nVME drive so I can edit video directly from it on a 2020 M1 Macbook Air with 16GB RAM. I haven't edited anything from it yet, but I did run the Blackmagic Disk Speed test on it. As you can see from the screenshot, the drive achieved 617.2MB/sec writes and 763.9MB/sec reads. Since I will not be editing anything larger than 4K, according to these tests, it is fast enough for all my editing needs. I also hooked the drive to my 9th gen i7 Windows laptop with 32GB RAM and ran the PC version of the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. Surprisingly, the Windows laptop achieved faster read speeds with the drive (923MB/s) than the M1 Macbook Air. The write speeds are a bit slower (537.9MB/sec) but not by much. Obviously, benchmarks do not always reflect real world use of any product, but based on these benchmarks, this drive is great for 4K video editing. On top of that, the compact and rugged design of the drive makes it perfect for a laptop bag and editing on the go. The retail package comes with the drive itself, an (about) 6" USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB3 Type A adapter. At this time, I highly recommend this product.

    Once you go SSD you’ll never go back! These drives work great, super fast and half the size of a regular 2tb drive. Highly recommend giving them a try! Beware after you buy these you’ll never buy a regular drive again
