    Had an old computer that I needed to get a tone of pics and videos off of. The Squad helped me out by purchasing the SanDisk-Extreme Portable 500GB. Easy to us!

    Great portable SSD

    I seem to encounter a lot of portable HDDs, SSDs, and flash drives that do not transfer data at the speeds they claim and often fluctuate their data transfer. However, this one transfers exactly at the speeds it claims to and does it well. The build quality is good and the included password protection option is very nice as well.

    As a photographer I always need more space. Believe it or not those tiny raw images take up a crap ton of space and even more so after editing. This was one of the first purchases I made as a photographer and so glad that I did. It's also nice and small, very easily portable when traveling. Also a great storage space when you are on vacation and your camera runs out of room!

    I was looking for 1TB HDD. After talking with some people, I realized that the real deal is NVMe. So I decided to give it a try to 500GB external drive. I loved the size and the cable came with an adapter since USB-C is not that popular yet. The only issue is that it might burn but it is kind of normal. I am waiting until Thanksgiving 2021 to buy 2 more.

    Boy was I surprised! The drive looked neat, it was easy to install unlike others I have used and the size fit into the side patch of my backpack. This is my first solid state backup drive and transfers in and out in an instant. The San Disk is very impressive. I also got my Best Buy price match!

    If you have a Tesla, you know how notoriously bad flash drives are ! I got this one few months ago and I’m using it as a car camera backup. Very reliable ! And I’m talking about leaving it 24/7 in different weather patterns.

    I have other external hard drives but I find that I use this one the most because of its size. I carry it with me most of the time because it is so small. It is recognized by my computers and seems to have fast data transfer.

    The product performs as expected. It’s fast, very portable and appears to be ruggedly built. I recently used it to store all my raw photos during a 10 day trip abroad. Transfer to my desktop was very quick when I returned.

    Nice product in a compact package. Fast and ample storage for taking portable media with me. I like the reasonably rugged, easy to grip, form much better than flash drives which always seem to get lost on their own -- maybe it's gremlins. Would buy again

    Love the size of it. Fits great in my purse for ease in transport unlike my older model that was bigger and more bulky. Easy set up on my computer and holds needed data great. I would recommend for anyone who needs portable access to documents on the go.
