Holy crappy this thing is fast. Use the cable it came with (or a carefully selected longer one if you’re like me and hate short drive cables). I initially used a different, quality cable and was disappointed in the speed. Plugged in the cable from the box and re-transferred 2 hours worth in roughly 3 minutes. Also the drive is so small and light I thought I got an empty box. LOVE this drive. It’s a 4TB miracle lol.

Great physical size and amount of storage and ideal for field use. Have several that are used daily.

Very fast when copying files, very easy to use, very happy with the purchase. nice to have a 4TB device that is so small

Using as external storage for FCPX on Mac. Plenty fast enough to work on large projects.

Compared to the backup drives of the past (And I've got quite a few) .. this is not only TINY in size, but it is just as good at backup as the older ones (and faster to do so overall). I tend to use the 4tb Drives for when I travel and enjoy my photography hobby -- that's the reason for this purchase. I also use it to hold such as recipes (From cooking schools I attend while traveling - I like to go to places were I can eat and get recipes too learning new techniques), my documents, and other miscellaneous content. (including my backup for my MP3/4 drive music files).

Lots of storage, fast external SSD with USB-C connectivity. However, if you plan on using it on a Macintosh, be aware that (as of Dec, 2021), it arrives formatted as ExFAT. And for software reasons related to Sandisk and/or Mac OS, it cannot be reformatted to HFS+/APS until these software issues are addressed by Apple/Sandisk. So, if you need HFS+/APS (for Time Machine, etc), I would hold off buying one until this issue is fixed.

The SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB USB-C NVMe SSD is an exceptional storage device that combines speed, capacity, and durability. With lightning-fast read and write speeds, it boosts productivity and makes file transfers a breeze. The 4TB capacity provides ample storage for large files and projects, while its compact design ensures portability. The ruggedized construction protects data in challenging environments, and the USB-C interface offers versatile connectivity. With included software for data security and customization, this SSD is a top-notch choice for professionals and content creators.

Reads/writes quickly and is a convenient size. USB-C connection is good option.

I have been using this as a photography backup with no issues. It is fast and convenient. Good product.

Purchased at a great price. Simple to use. Have yet to fill the space.

I just want to clear the air for MAC users. I purchased this product in March 2022 after contacting Apple and they assured me that it works with Monterey. There were glitches in the beginning, but that was quickly solved. I set it up APFS, hooked it in to the thunderbolt connection on a iMAC 27" and it works fine while running MONTEREY. The reason for my purchase was the PHOTO speed. With a Seagate which I love, it could not index and search. Now that Apple has come up with Photo identification this is a whole new world. Type a search for Bear and it separated, Koala Bear, Panda Bear, Teddy Bear and put the Black, Brown, Grizzly and Polar Bears together. It did not find a frog, but using reptile search there they were.

Copies with speed , easy to carry. Less luggage more comfort

I think this is a solid product. i dropped my HDD a d the needle roke, losing my data. Not with this.

alot of space, good for gaming laptop plugged into monitors

San disk are the handiest and safe keepers I have found. Light weight and portable.

Amazing product. I travel with it and everything. It never leaves my backpack

Got this for a film shoot! It got the job done! Would recommend!

would definitely recommend it, but the price is a bit high

Great and convenient size for travel ! Rugged design

I'm a pro video editor. At the moment I'm using a M1 Max MacbookPro as my primary workstation. This small SSD has essentially replaced my old big clunky RAID! It's fast, been reliable for 7 months (so far), and fits in my pocket. Only negative is that when traveling I have to make sure not to lose it! (I actually hook it inside my laptop bag when on the go).
