SanDisk - Extreme 2TB External USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A/Type-C Portable Solid-State Drive

Speed is 5x than hard drive (500mb/s vs 100mb/s); size is generally only 1/6 volume of hard drive. It is great. Any one knows to how to encrypt it on Mac?

I just picked up a 2TB drive from my local Best Buy today and noticed that the box and device both say Made in Malaysia when I thought these were made in China. I'm wondering if got a Grey Market or counterfeit product? The SanDisk lettering on the front of the device looks worn off already and I just purchased this brand new and unsealed the box. Is this how they are supposed to come now? The serial number on the back of the device is very hard to read and not clearly marked which is also suspicious. Can someone from SanDisk chime in? I will update this review upon further communication from SanDisk.

This is my second SSD from SanDisk and it's the same one. I really love this device, the speed, the weight, the size, and the quality are amazing!

After buying two other external hard drives from major brands that crapped out in hours or days I finally ponied up the bucks for this Sandisk Solid State drive and so far after almost a month and tons of downloads it works like a champ!! Don't waste your money on ANY standard external drive as they are junk IMHO.

Took me a while to make the decision to purchase this external. The cost is high compared with 1TB or non-SSDs. However, I've been able to consolidate my files, move them off my limited SurfaceBook Pro, and a scattering of flash drives. The transfer of files is very fast and the storage amount gives me easy access to organize and view my photos.

Bought this on sale and use it for external PS5 drive. Put all your PS4 games on this and it loads very fast almost same as having on internal hard drive in ps5. Its a SSD with fast read. Its smaller than it looks like a CC size almost.

For the most part, the SSD has done its job. While it functions well on its own, the main draw back is its connection when booting up the computer. After unplugging everything from my USB hub, I discovered that the SSD has some sort of interference with starting up the system causing me to have to unplug and replug it every use. It can be a bit frustrating and definitely not a problem I expected. My Wacom tablet and Blue snowball fire up with the computer just fine but for some reason, the SSD causes an interference. Outside of that hiccup, the drive functions well on its own (when there is no interference with the computer). It function fast and despite a couple of computer crashes thus far, the drive itself hasn't had an issue. The SSD is good for transferring data between computers, just be careful of keeping it plugged in when shutting down or booting up the PC.

I have the 2 TB device which holds a lot of images. Sd cards hold 32 to 64 GB typically so this will hold about 30 of my cards, but I dont have 30 cards since each one is $120. It is a no-brainer to buy this to back up files. It reads and writes incredibly fast using USB 3.0. I am very happy also that I caught it on sale.
