    I work in IT and needed a reliable fast and portable drive to transfer files when not on a network. Dropped in price just outside the pricematch window but cannot take a star away on bad luck on my timing. Solid little drive.

    I bought this product to be used with mac. It works as expected if you eject it before plugging out. Just a warning that you can unplug it with Windows computer without ejecting it; however, you have to always eject it with mac. If your mac won't see it, just connect it to Windows computer and it will fix the drive. Hope it helps someone.

    I am happy with our purchase, the drive is compact so I can put in my pocket as well as fast. I will buy the SanDisk ssd again. The service from Best Buy was great, I bought and picked up curbside.

    I was looking for a quality drive to take when I travel - and this is the best. It is fast and the price is definitely right. It is also reliable... it takes being in my briefcase on a plane and still works like a charm.

    Got this as a Deal of the Day, for my daughter to take to college. Plenty of memory, and the build allows it to be tossed in her backpack if she wants. The clip option helps too.

    By far the safest method to back up data without worries of bumping the drive while using or shutting down. Fast and efficient. Only way to back up data even though more expensive than standard drives.

    My wife needed files from a desktop computer added to her laptop, yet wanted to be able to shuffle files between computers. This filled the niche. She is pleased. Now I want one for my files.

    The only complaint would be the cable needs to be much longer, it just hangs from my Surface Pro.

    It’s really thin and small. Plus it’s Solid state. I bought because I’m tired of hard drives stop working. Hoping a solid state drive will last longer than other hard drives

    This thing is fast...I tested it on a 15gig file and it took it 1 min 30sec to transfer on a 3.1 USB port..and that same file took 12mins on a portable USB mechanical harddrive..
