    Caution - Read This Before Purchasing

    Initially, I was really happy with my purchase - sizable storage capacity, fast, and small form factor, all-in-one. I was planning to partition it and use it for both storing files and backing up my MacBook Pro. However, as I've since learned, this product from SanDisk was very shoddily put together, with poor quality components, etc. Another reviewer, Duped, mentioned an Ars Technica article entitled, SanDisk’s silence deafens as high-profile users say Extreme SSDs still broken, from August 8, 2023. I highly recommend everyone to read that article, as well as another article from Ars Technica titled "SanDisk Extreme SSDs are “worthless,” multiple lawsuits against WD say." The second article lists the "few" drive models that Western Digital, themselves, admitted are faulty: SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB (SDSSDE61-4T00) SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 4TB (SDSSDE81-4T00) SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 2TB (SDSSDE81-2T00) SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 1TB (SDSSDE81-1T00) Western Digital My Passport 4TB (WDBAGF0040BGY). This item is the first one on the list (SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB (SDSSDE61-4T00)). I wish I had known about these issues then since i would have returned it immediately.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
