Lots of storage, fast external SSD with USB-C connectivity. However, if you plan on using it on a Macintosh, be aware that (as of Dec, 2021), it arrives formatted as ExFAT. And for software reasons related to Sandisk and/or Mac OS, it cannot be reformatted to HFS+/APS until these software issues are addressed by Apple/Sandisk. So, if you need HFS+/APS (for Time Machine, etc), I would hold off buying one until this issue is fixed.

I just want to clear the air for MAC users. I purchased this product in March 2022 after contacting Apple and they assured me that it works with Monterey. There were glitches in the beginning, but that was quickly solved. I set it up APFS, hooked it in to the thunderbolt connection on a iMAC 27" and it works fine while running MONTEREY.
The reason for my purchase was the PHOTO speed. With a Seagate which I love, it could not index and search. Now that Apple has come up with Photo identification this is a whole new world. Type a search for Bear and it separated, Koala Bear, Panda Bear, Teddy Bear and put the Black, Brown, Grizzly and Polar Bears together. It did not find a frog, but using reptile search there they were.

“After using the SanDisk SSD 4TB drive for a year, I can confidently say it’s been incredibly reliable. I’ve had no issues or crashes, making it perfect for storing large files and video editing. It’s definitely a solid investment.”

I'm a pro video editor. At the moment I'm using a M1 Max MacbookPro as my primary workstation. This small SSD has essentially replaced my old big clunky RAID! It's fast, been reliable for 7 months (so far), and fits in my pocket. Only negative is that when traveling I have to make sure not to lose it! (I actually hook it inside my laptop bag when on the go).

Has helped streamline my photography workflow to upload photos from memory card to SDD. Is blazing fast to browse/organize and edit off of. I like that it has a rubberized exterior layer. Seems like it holds up well to jostles and being thrown around in a camera bag w/ no problem. Nice that it also included a USB-C data transfer cable as well as a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Overall satisfied with my purchase.

This little unit serves my needs perfectly. I require a lot of external storage and a secondary drive from which I can run apps on my 256 GB Mac Mini M1. This and a couple others I now utilize have completely replaced external hard disk drives in my system. And, if needed to access files on these drives away from home on my 11" iPad Pro M1, a quick eject and I'm on my way. A perfect solution for me!
