Not sure about this
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to replace a very old external hard drive. Geek Squad transferred the old content but it could not be access by my newer laptop. I have an appointment today at the store and will be bringing 2 bags of equipment. One bag of equipment shown below. I think this little external 2T drive is probably good but can't tell yet.

Corrupted Files?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to backup my internal hard drive twice since the first time the SanDisk thought it was full. When I called SanDisk, they said there must have been some corruption so I had to reformat and redo the backup. Never had that experience with other external drives.

not so extreme.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.after 1 year of use. it stop working. I am a photographer. I used this as an additional storage to not use my computer space for photos. this is use only for raw files and final jpg. it came out of my office only 4 times in 1 year. so not that extreme use. never get wet, or use with dust, or even use the carabiner loop. it just disconnect from the computer and it never connect back again. so if you plan to use this as an additional storage. keep in mind that you need to replace it with 1 year of use.

SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB external USB-C SSD
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SanDisc - Extreme Portable 2TB external USB-C has stop working. I bought it 2.15.2023 and SanDisc stopped working on 4.5.2023. SanDisk can't be recognized on any computer. I even took it to Geek Squad to see if it works on any other computer. Unfortunately I lost all my son's sports videos and pictures that can't be recovered. Recovery of the files is not covered by SanDisc - Western Digital. They will replace your external SanDisk but first you have to ship them your old broken SanDisk. Data recovery services can cost from $500 to $3000 and up....

Buyer Beware!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All of the Sandisk Extreme SSDs are defective, it is a known issue recently in the news, and it is a known issue by the manufacturer (Sandisk/Western Digital). These drives fail abruptly due to a defect, not because of anything you do to the drive. If you own one, return it and/or ensure your data is backed up as these are subject to sudden total failure with zero chance of recovery.

Not good for music libraries.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was not good for my use. I am a musician. I put a sound library on it. The drive constanty loses connection. I have to eject it and reconnect to access the music library. I would like to bring it back...over $200 spent. I have ran all the test. It is the drive vs. My new mac mini or cords.

I seriously love this thing the fact that it loads up instantly upon plugging it in in comparison to some other slower SSD’s ive tried having instanr access to my files or the ability to instantly transfer over files to it is a huge deal for me the transerfer speeds are great gotta love this little gadget

Little (but big) Gem
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My office put a pair of these in a PDF file storage database with the second being a auto save back up copy. Worked like a charm (of course I needed an I.T. guy to make it work, but they worked perfectly). I was reluctant to purchase when I saw the physical size, but proof positive that big things come in small packages.

By far this has been the best portable memory I've purchased so far. Like the size, easy to care and comes with both USB and USB-C connectors. Tons of memory for all the pictures and videos one can store.

Great Portable SSD
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are awesome. Fast, small, and work great for moving large files around. Have had a total of 3 in different sizes. Unfortunately had to buy the latest when the oldest one (bought almost 4 years ago I think) stopped working. One of the laptops started not recognizing it, but I was able to get it working long enough to transfer everything before it quit working completely. The point is, this works really well but just like anything else it can and will fail eventually. So keep multiple backup locations if you have essential files. I happily rebought the same one because it worked so well for all that time of daily usage and I think its worth it.
