    Bought this a couple of months ago for only $150. Only think that's frustrating is that, had I known that tech prices were going to skyrocket, I should have bought the 4tb version. Otherwise, this is an excellent buy.

    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

    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!

    Device is small and sleek, perfect for travel. It has a very quick transfer with the included Usb-C cable. An adapter is also included if you dont have a Usb-C port.

    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.

    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.
