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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
