    Impossible to remove pre-installed software

    Probably could've been a great little SSD. Unfortunately, the pre-loaded security software insisted that I create a username and password before I could access the main drive. I tried 3 - yes, 3 times to reformat the drive. Every time I reconnected the drive, it was magically back, insisting I install it before I could use the drive. This was supposed to be a photo archive for an elderly lady, and I knew that if I couldn't use it without using the security software, neither could she. The other brand I replaced it with is working perfectly.

      We sincerely apologize for the continued frustration. The fact that the security software keeps reappearing after multiple reformats is an unusual issue that should not happen. Please contact our technical support team at: https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/askweb so we can look into this and provide the best resolution. SanDiskConnections

    Superfast data transfer times. I purchased this item for work because we move a lot of data in the field at my job. I have received great reviews from my staff. Bought a second one, since they were on sale. This is what the future of storage promised.

    Massive external storage that's not much larger than a deck of cards. Super easy to use, just plug and play via USB. Use it to offload storage from your phone, GoPro, whatever you can connect to. Really reasonable price per TB and SanDisk quality and reputation, so you can't go wrong.

    Great portable SSD. I have been using it with a PlayStation 5 to play PS4 games. No problems whatsoever. I have not tested the read/write speeds on PC but if you want a fast solution for your PlayStation 4 games, one of the best options.

    I am currently using this as an external drive on my Lenovo laptop. It has a copy of the backups from my husband's 3 computers, as well as the files from my file scanning program (liken it to having my file cabinet contained in that little drive), as well as files from my genealogy programs. What is very nice is that it doesn't matter which computer I am on, I can still access the files that I need.

    Truly a plug and play product for me. I'm using this drive as a backup and found that the files I was backing up daily were large and the regular HDD was too slow. I thought I'd give this SDD a try and it makes it possible to duplicate the files on another PC without using the cloud.

    I recently purchased the SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB External USB-C NVMe SSD, and I am absolutely thrilled with its performance and reliability. This external drive has exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can confidently say that it outperforms most other options in its class.

    I have been using this for about a month or two, and it has been working as advertise. Using it to store games has saved a ton of space on my laptop and the loading times are fast, which is an important factor when storing games off an external storage. Overall, very solid product!

    Smaller than I expected for 4TB! It's slower than I thought on my desktop with USB 2.0. I thought I'd get better speeds. Faster on my laptop with USB 3.0. Kind of feels like cheap plastic so I'm extra careful with it. What I noticed is that when I first boot up, it's slow to be recognized by the PC. I have experienced some lag.

    I was able to catch it on sale for 200 dollars off which made it very worth it I’m a photographer so I store all my images else where the regular price of this is pretty pricey but if you’re able to catch this on sale I suggest you get it if you need more storage

      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! SanDiskConnections

    4TB solid state drive for daily use.

    Compact size with 4 TB maximum capasity, but data transfer is slower then normal. It fits mach easier in any pocket because it's much smaller then other 4TB drives, but it took about twice as long to load 3TB of data then other external drives I have. Good for daily use, but there cheaper and faster options for backups.
