Good SSD drive with a checkered past.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this is a great storage device. It is important to know that there have been problems with these devices that do not have the latest firmware. There is a place at Western Digital's website that can be checked to see if what you have needs an update. Mine was up to date already.

I would recommend this to a friendSlow read/write speed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just purchased yesterday. The drive is advertised as having transfer speeds up to 2 GB/s. Im using it on a brand-new MacBook Pro M4 Max and running the Blackmagic benchmark. Regardless of file size, read and write transfer rates are never more than 1 GB/s. I have another 4 TB SSD that uses a Samsung 990 4 TB SSD, and it consistently attains 5+GB/s read and write rates, so i know my hardware is perfectly capable of delivering that throughput. The other external SSD is considerably more expensive, so I’m not expecting a $320 SSD to achiene those speeds, but I know my hardware can deliver enough throughput to get maximum throughput from this device. Anybody else had this experience? I’m pretty disappointed.

Posted .Thank you for your feedback. The advertised speeds are based on ideal conditions and can vary depending on hardware and setup. Ensure you're using the original USB-C cable, a compatible port and a performance-optimized file system like exFAT or APFS.

DO NOT BUY!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have lost several terabytes of data on this drive. Two different times! Each time the device became unmountable and unrecognizable. I tried it in several different computers, no luck. I was forced to re-format and try again the first time and a week to the day later, same thing. I’m beyond furious. Look into this device. Several people have had the same problem. The first failure was just days after the return date. I’m out 500 bucks and precious time!

Will only do 1000 mb/s with MacBook Pro 2024 m4
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Macbook Pro 2024 M4 Max. Before purchasing the 4tb Extreme Pro from Best Buy on the black friday sale, I contacted SanDisk to ask if the unit would work with my MBP at the full 2000 read/write speed. They collected lots of data on my MBP (model #, port info, etc) and after checking with their upper level staff etc, they fully assured me that it would work at a rate of 1950 to 2000 read / write. After making my purchase at the low sale price, the unit arrived and it would only work at around 1000 or less based on the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. So, an hour later I again contacted Sandisk and ran lots of test for them uploaded lots of screen shots etc. This went on for days. During which time they elevate me from one to another until they finally said these words, "We have reviewed the case and would like to inform you that USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 is not currently supported on Apple products and maximum performance for this product is capped at 1000MB/s with Apple devices. So, either the staff with whom I originally spoke are incompetent in their knowledge , or they just lied. I do not know which. Either way, Sandisk is no longer a trustworthy company for me. If I return my item, I get back only the cheap price I paid during the Black Friday sale, and then I have to pay the higher prices for something else. Their mistake and I am the one who takes the loss.

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and experience with us. We understand how frustrating this situation must be, especially given the time and effort you're put into resolving it. Our intention is to always offer accurate guidance, but it appears that there was a miscommunication regarding the compatibility of USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 with Apple devices. Unfortunately, as you have noted, macOS devices currently cap speeds for this interface at 1000MB/s. We truly regret the frustration this has caused to you.
Please reach out to us if you would like exploring replacement options : https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/askweb

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sandisk 4 TB drives are prone to failure. Not like the 2 TB drives which are solid. 2 out of 3 of these I purchased drop the connection to the computer randomly, with increasing times.
