    This is a great add on accessory for an iPad Pro. You can edit video or photos right from the drive. The iOS Files app also recognizes it.

    This is my second SanDisk Extreme 500GB External drive, the first one I purchased shortly after they came out. These are fantastic for moving files between a PC and a newer MacBook Pro with USB-C. I have had no issues with reliability or durability, I did purchase a case, and the case fits 2 of these. I do wish they came in different colors, but I added stripes with a Sharpie to the older drive to tell them apart. The only real complaint is the USB-C to USB-A adapter is kind of wonky. I use a separate A to C cable instead.

    I bought this SSD to use with my Xbox One system and so far it’s performing great. Games load so much faster than trying to play from the internal HDD or any external HDD. A must have if you play taxing games that have have very long load times, like sea of thieves!

    This little guy is so tiny. I mean it’s really small. I have old 1 TB drives that are the size of paperback books. I might replace them with SSDs now

    I use this in my car and it’s been great. The form factor is a real big plus as the space I have to put the drive is very limited.

    Fast and Convenient

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I really like this SSD. It has a Type-C port, but conveniently includes an adapter for Type-A (the standard style of USB plug people are most familiar with). When using it with my MacBook Pro that has Thunderbolt 3 ports (which are Type-C), it reads and writes very fast. I cloned another Mac on this SSD and booted from it, and it worked really well. The "SanDisk" name on the side of this starts to rub off immediately, but that's the only thing I've found so far to complain about—and I'm not really complaining about that, because it doesn't matter at all.

    This drive is ridiculously light and portable. This is not your ordinary SSD. Most SSDs are the size of a laptop hard drive, but this drive is about 60% of that size. This leads me to believe they use "m.2" SSDs for this drive. The storage space is decent and it performs as you would expect from other SSD drives. The unit also comes with a short USB Type-C cable, probably 5" or 6". Works great on any of the newer macs, or PCs that have it equipped. Don't have a newer computer? No worries, it comes it a Type-C to Type-A adapter.
