    Sleek. Compact. Durable. I recommend not installing the software it comes with though.

    Solved my problems with latency issues when loading sound libraries. Doing music composition need instruments to load fast. This did the trick. Easy install and works great with Apple.

    Would have worked but had an outdated device that didn't allow me to properly use or use it is all on my computer. Requires a certain usb or thunderbolt port to even work. Make sure you know the requirements before making your purchase.

    This is the fastest non-DIY external SSD I’ve ever used. When connected via Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports (and cables), I’m pretty much getting the read/write speeds claimed by SanDisk/Western Digital. Am using this as additional storage for file portability between my 2019 MacBook Pro 16 and my 2020 M1 Mac Mini.

    I use this as storage for my mini Mac 2 and iPad Pro. I do videos and cAn transfer files from one device to another to work on them. Love the portability and light weight. It is perfect for my needs. I would definitely recommend it.

    This is my second one, for my second laptop. They work as advertised on Apple MacBooks. I use them to store my photo library with full resolution versions synced to iCloud. This leaves plenty of room on my 1 TB internal SSDs for the rest, and room to operate at peak efficiency. That is, no penalty for lack of space.

    Top Performer. Runs Hot. Not for iPhone 15 Pro.

    A top-end SSD solution. It wasn't the manufacturer's fault that the iPhone 15 Pro Max rejected it as incompatible, but that was a disappointment. Although I had purchased it for that, re-purposing it as the external drive of my MacBook Pro to receive iPhone video was still a win. The real reason for four stars instead of five was that it gets quite hot even when sitting there quiescent doing nothing.

    Nice and Compact

    Sandisk Professional PRO-G40 External hard drive is amazingly compact. The harddrive is very small and compact almost the size of a credit card but of course thicker. Thunderbolt option makes it even better. If you have larger file size such as videos this, make it worth the buy. The time of waiting all day to just transfer a large file from a hard drive to your computer is finally over. This being a solid state drive, and the fact that the product looks very well built almost like a tank just makes me feel comfortable that my files will be safe. This is also compatible with your windows PC but you must format the hard drive before using. One flaw but not a very big flaw is the cable it comes with, its just not long enough, it is only about 5 inches long. Other than that, set up was very simple plug and play. With 2 TB oof space, this offers more than enough available space to be on the go and work on your projects. As the name states it is a portable drive and for some it may be too small but if you are looking to have that compact, nice looking and fast hard drive this is the one for you. Like I said videos transfers are not a big problem any more with this hard drive and best of all you can work directly from it.
