    Device purchased new and sealed but has wear and tear right of the box on material and branding already wearing off of some letters. Odd to look used already, otherwise fine.

    This drive is meeting all my requirements for allowing me to keep a copy of my important household files with me at all times. It copies quickly, and has a good amount of storage for household files. The slim size allows me to carry it in my front pants pocket wherever I go always allowing me to carry a backup of my important household files, photos and more. It more than meets my needs and I highly recommend it.

    Astonishingly Fast and Compact

    I connect this compact drive to my MacBook Pro using the USB-C connection. It is about the length & width of a credit card and about as thick as an iPhone 8. It has consistently copied my iTunes folder (about 40 GB) from my computer to the SSD in about 4 minutes (super fast). I was astonished when I copied the same folder from the SSD to my computer in about 2 minutes (extra super fast). My Photos Library is about 30 GB and it takes about 3 minutes to copy from my computer to the SSD. I have not copied the same file from the SSD to my computer because it is not necessary. I think it writes about 10 GB a minute and reads 10 GB in 30 seconds. I reformatted the SSD to the Apple File System (APFS) and I do not use the included utilities from SanDisk such as encryption, password protection and back-up. My MBP uses a SSD and I only drag & drop files. These are the only variables I have used and tested.

    The SanDisk Extreme makes for a great gift for college-bound students. This is the second one that I have purchased. Plenty of storage for projects and papers. The USB-C is fast! Small, lightweight, and compact makes it easy to toss into a backpack. Highly recommend!

    This external drive is extremely small and lightweight so is perfect for travel. I purchased this drive for external photo storage when I went to China for two months to keep space on my computer HDD free. It has a USB-C port (cable included) which makes data transfer extremely fast. Threw this in my laptop bag and never had an issue. I also purchased the 500GB model

    Was looking for compact external drive storage and i think found the right one which is lightweight and compact which is perfect for travel around unlike USB Flash drive chances of misplacing is very low. The main attraction is it has a USB-C port which makes data transfer extremely fast.

    I was going to order another Samsung T5 portable SSD but a friend suggested I try the SanDisk extreme. The SanDisk is just as fast as the Samsung and is more compact. I like the more durable exterior also. I do not worry about dropping it and damaging the case.

    Perfect add-on for my Nvidia Shield Pro. This drive is fast...probably faster than the Shield's onboard drive. Simple plug n Play to install and apps run very smoothly on it. Highly recommended.

    I have been waiting for a large portable with USB 3.1 speeds. This gives me a small device with full USB 3.1 Type-C connectivity and speeds. Will buy more for my travel team. Perfect for on the go and pictures editing.

    I use this little drive for my MacBook's Time Machine backups and carry it around in my backpack everywhere. It's fast with backups and data transfers and is very portable. If you're looking for ruggedness, this might not be your best option. Sure it's got a loop to hook to a carabiner or lanyard (or whatever you're carrying your external storage around on these days) but it does feel like it might break if someone accidentally stepped on it. For my usage, it's perfect
