Great on a mac, quick and small. Good value.
When I ordered this there were some mixed reviews with this new (as of July 2023) version working on macs. I figured Sandisk is a big brand, and Best Buy will let me return anyway, so what’s the risk? It’s been fine on my Mac as a Time Machine target and for data storage. I’ve used it a lot in the month or so since I bought it and have zero complaints with the drive. The only minor complaint that I have is that it only has an old style USB-A cord. Seems like it would have only cost Sandisk a few cents to include a short USB-C to USB-C cable, and a lot of people only have long cords which get in the way with such a tiny drive. That’s all I could find wrong, it’s a great little drive and very good value for the money. I will buy this one again when I need another one.

Great 2 TB SSD Model SDSSDE30-T00 from BestBuy…
This SanDisk drive is the best value, highest quality portable storage device made in 2024. The sequential read performance (800 MB/sec). USB 3.2 (Gen 2), and 3-year warranty are unmatched. Don’t bother trying to find a better deal then this anytime soon!
