    Awesome little drive. Very fast if you actually plug it into a fast USBC port. If not it still works great just not as fast as it could.

    These little drives are super fast - we back up our photos and edit them right on these external drives. The coat is high but we really trust Sandisk as a professional photographer.

    I purchase about 6-8 of these a year as a photographer. They have decent build quality and they are fast. The only issue I have found is at times they won’t mount on a MacBook. Restart a few times and it will appear.

    Very fast and sleek SSD. I love that it comes with USB-C and USB-A type connections so you can connect to any computer. Speeds are fast and the waterproof functionality was big as I want to protect my data. I was between this and a few others, I do not regret my purchase at all.

    Works well, best to pay a bit extra & get this over a moving hard drive. I chose this one as is used the new usb connector, I think all the others I saw use different connectors

    A SanDisk Beauty, Durable, Fast and works with M1

    After checking on the ratings for this drive, I bought one at Best Buy. It proves to be even better than I expected. It is really fast 1050 MB/s. I wanted an external drive for my new Apple M1, that was as good as Apple's internal drive and SanDisk has come through with this little beauty. It is also extremely durable. When working it hard it does not get very hot and it is small enough to tuck behind the Apple 24' stand. It seems to work flawlessly with the new M1 chip. It is exactly what I needed to expand disk space without paying a fortune for it.
