4 TB SanDisk Drives
Great transaction. Good price, good product, well packaged, arrived when expected. I already had one of these 4TB external drives from SanDisk, and Best Buy had them for sale at a good price so I bought two more so I can rotate them for backups of my server. Very pleased!

My favorite portable SSD on the market
Outstanding device!! At a sale price of ~$200, this was an absolute steal. Super fast data transmission speeds in one of the most convenient form factors I've ever seen. This thing is TINY. Additionally, it has a rubber-like coating on it that makes it easy to grip. Very sturdy but insanely light as well. Included a picture of it compared to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, I was not expecting it to be so small (ordered it online) but was very pleased! I use it for RAW camera backups while I'm out on photo shoots and it has never given me an issue.
