    I replaced my old usb 2.0 G drive with this one and so much faster and nicer to use. Especially with USB C. If you’re looking for something with decent speeds and something to move around without the worry of constant damage. I recommend this.

    I've purchased two of these - one as a secondary backup for my photo libraries, one as a Time Machine backup drive for my daughter's laptop. Both have worked great. I've used numerous other Sandisk/G-Drive products always with dependable results.

    Works fine. High speed input. No external power required. If I had one complaint, it is that I had bought it a while back and when I finally pulled it out to hook it up, I had no idea what size it was because the hard rubber case hids all case markings.

    Although this seems to be aimed at Mac users, it works excellently with my Windows PCs; I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a solid drive with good performance and durability.

    Very easy to use and is made of great quality materials. Easily connects to my macbook and seamlessly transfers my photos by simply the “drag and drop” method (from my sony a6500 to this drive).

    After my new WD external drive did not work, I exchanged it for this one. I am thoroughly happy with the way it initiated connection and stored my data.

    I think this little "plug-and-play" storage device for my old MacBook Pro 2012 machine was a great investment. Hooked up seamlessly.

    I use this as a backup for my podcast files. The drive is heavy duty and protected from falls, and has a fast data transfer that allows me to back everything up in minutes.

    Works right out of the box on a MAC. Is not overly designed to look cool. SanDisk known for their cards. If satisfied with all those big and little cards this is just a bigger version.

    My old backup drive died on me, and so I searched around for what seemed to be a good replacement. This is strong, reliable so far, and very robust.
