I would recommend this to a friendFailed within 3 months
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Failed after three months of gentle, at-home use – still in its original packaging. The failure necessitated hundreds of dollars in data recovery, and now, the need to buy replacement data storage. After sharing with other professional photographers, I've heard multiple reports of widespread issues with this particular disk within the last few months – sounds like a bad batch. I wish there was a way to get reimbursed for this to purchase a dependable replacement instead. It is not worth the risk to me to try this product again, and I regret spending so much money on it.

I would recommend this to a friendOk for storage capacity
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SanDisk 4TB external SSD gets very hot to the touch. From the MacOS side, EXFAT format is relatively slow, file indexing takes longer then on spinning platter external HDDs, and has so far resulted in two file table errors that required reformatting the SSD. So recommend formatting as Mac OS Extended. APFS is another and newer format option, although will not support Mac's Time Machine backup. Works well as a portable/travel ready backup.

SanDisk failure. Dead drive and lost files.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Drive became unreadable on my Macbook months ago. It wouldn't load. Sandisk provided a firmware update to correct the problem, but it has a note: "Critical: Ensure to create and verify a backup of all critical data to another location or device before updating the firmware on any drive. " How does one back up the disk before updating, and how does one update the disk if you can't load it on a Mac? The update that SanDisk provided must be implemented using a PC, specifically "on a Windows 10 or 11 computer". How does that work? You bother your friends with a PC or go to a tech support station at Best Buy or elsewhere to do this, costing money, and perhaps losing some files. I can go on or you can read the Ars Technica article: "SanDisk's Silence Deafens as High-Profile Users Say Extreme SSDs Still Broken"

Sandisk is junk now!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have spent thousands on Sandisk and been loyal customers of their memory cards and drives until now. They knew these had probelms and continued selling them. The first one i received didnt work frim the beginning. They sent a replacement and I uploaded almost 4tb of my kids’ pictures and other things and it has sat on a shelf for months until i needed to access the pictures only to find it doesnt work!! Dont use this to backup anything important.
