I use these mostly for video editing and on set data management. They have been very consistent on both Windoes and Mac computers. Just to note, i have not seen a viable reason to justify the pro version. These work just as well and are just as fast.

This product was an easy set up and allowed me to immediately begin downloading video. I would recommend to any individual who is looking for the best way to convert or store video and other content quickly and efficiently.

Super short useless cable . Decent speeds around a steady 750MBs. Not quite as fast as the Samsung t7 shield my experience.
The drive is tiny physical size the portability is high . The price was good while on sale other wise too expensive while comparing it to a Samsung t7 shield.

Drive works as expected. Size is perfect. Speed is great. The cord that comes with it is extremely short. Other than that, there are no issues. I will buy this one again!
Thank you for your review! The product your purchased is an external SSD, which is ideal for portable storage needs. However, for internal upgrades, you would require an internal NVMe SSD. If you need assistance selecting the right product for your requirements, feel free to reach out-we would be happy to help!

This 4TB SSD SanDisk external USB drive is so small! It is absolutely the best buy ever!

I needed at least 3TB in a hurry for a video project. This was perfect for my needs. I tested the write speed and it was over 4X as fast as my 2 TB external SanDisk drive.

This is an awesome small 4tb external hard drive, the only thing I noticed is that it gets very warm when using for long periods of time. My concern is overheating and potentially corrupting the data.

I want to love these drives. They're fast, tiny, silent, and the price is right. But after my first couple months with two of these 4TB's, I would never buy a Sandisk again.
I bought them specifically as shuttle drives for video shoots, and have also used them as edit drives with Premiere Pro. Maybe the third time I transferred with them, I had a strange experience where one of them simply unmounted from my laptop (14" MacBook M1 Pro). Didn't think much of it, chalked it up as maybe I jiggled a cable or something. A few weeks later, I came back from lunch and my Premiere project had crashed. Again, didn't think much of it, happens all the time. This week however, the real nightmare happened. Premiere crashed right in the middle of some very time consuming work, and the drive suddenly lost write access. I had to cycle it a few times for it to even come back online.
Now having done and excessive amount of research, I see the rumblings on Reddit and elsewhere that these issues are not at all uncommon with these drives, and there's even a lawsuit about people losing their data. There's no way I would trust it with even low priority material after a failure like mine, and to see it so widespread is incredibly disheartening.
For context, I'm a full time film editor and do small video projects in my spare time. I immediately formatted both these drives in APFS for working on my Macs, and only ever used the included cables. There is no reason why they should be failing this soon aside from a defect.
Now of course I'm passed the return period for Best Buy, so it'll be a good test of the supposed 5 year warranty to see what happens next. I've since moved my project to a Samsung T7 and have had no issues the last few days. Can't give that one a glowing review just yet since it's early days, but it's definitely just as fast and portable, and runs noticeably cooler.
Steer clear of these Sandisks and look at other brands.

The 2 TB Sandisk SSD's are solid and long lasting. This is the third 4TB Sandisk SSD I have purchased. After only two weeks of use it started disconnecting from the computer while in use. This has become more frequent until now I no longer trust it. I have replaced it with one made by Samsung. The 2nd one has also started dropping off. Yikes!
We're sorry to hear about the connection issue you experienced. In many cases, frequent disconnecting can be related to the USB port or cable, so trying a different port or cable can help isolate the cause. If the issue continues, please get in touch with the support team for further assistance by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/askweb)

This External drive is a lot smaller and less bulkier than the Non SSD versions that I use to save my documentation and worth the price I paid for it.
