Tiny, Fast, and Perfect for Travel
Style: Old Model
Capacity: 2TB
Color: Black
I can’t believe how small this SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD is! It’s incredibly compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in a pocket or laptop bag without taking up any space. The data transfer speeds are excellent. Copying large files is quick, and it has been reliable for backing up photos, videos, and other important files. It’s a great portable drive if you need fast external storage on the go. The only downside is the price—it is definitely on the expensive side. That said, you’re paying for a combination of portability, speed, and a generous 2TB of storage. If those features are important to you, it’s a worthwhile investment. Easy to install, just plugin and start using it. I used for my PC laptop

Great upgrade!!!
Style: Old Model
Capacity: 8TB
Color: Black
I bought this drive to increase the storage available for my movies and TV shows on my media server. My 4TB drive was filling up. I admit that I felt forced to buy a Sandisk drive since I had previously bought drives from Crucial. But their decision to stop commercial sales forced me to try something new. I have to say, the drives are great. I only had one issue with the drive automatically ejecting from my Macbook when it was idle, but after a Google search I downloaded the Sandisk utility and updated the firmware of the drives and so far no further issues. The drives are small and quiet. The performance is great. I went with this model because I saw a review for the new model indicating that the new drive had failed after putting it under a sustained load. So far, no problems like that with this drive. Given the storage I needed and the performance I wanted these drives provided the value I was looking for.

Fast, tiny, and boring in the best way across Mac and Windows
Style: Old Model
Capacity: 2TB
Color: Black
I’ve been using this SanDisk Extreme 2TB portable SSD as a grab-and-go drive across three machines: a MacBook, a Dell XPS, and a desktop. That’s the test that matters for me — not a single-computer cable drawer toy. It stays small enough that I actually carry it, and it’s plug-and-play in practice: connect it and it works. Speed has felt super fast for everyday moves between those machines, which matches what you want from this class of USB-C portable SSD (the Extreme line advertises very high sequential speeds and a ruggedized pocketable design with IP65 water/dust resistance and drop-oriented durability claims). I haven’t had reliability drama on either Mac or Windows. I don’t have a long list of complaints because there haven’t been meaningful ones in my use. If you need a compact 2TB drive that behaves the same on Apple and Windows PCs and doesn’t turn file moves into a waiting game, this is an easy recommend at five stars.

Not For Use With An iPhone 11
Style: Old Model
Capacity: 1TB
Color: Black
This is a review of the SanDisk Portable Extreme 1TB SSD Hard Drive This Solid State Drive (SSD) is really tiny, and very lightweight. It’s pre-formatted to exFAT, which works with both MAC and Windows. Unfortunately, it DOES NOT WORK WITH the iPhone 11 Pro, which is what I bought it for. I read a bunch of great Amazon reviews, as well as YouTube reviews and videos. The one or two reviews I missed were the one’s that said this SSD is not compatible with the iPhone 11 Pro. I tried using it in conjunction with an non-Apple lightning to USB 3 camera adapter. When that didn’t work, I purchased an Apple lightning USB 3 camera adapter. The adapter has a built-in lightning cable, to attach it to the iPhone or iPod, and on the back side there’s a lightning port. This port can be used to connect the adapter to either a DC or portable external power supply. It also has a USB 3 port, that can be used to attach a camera, or other device. Once I connected everything to the iPhone and powered up the external power supply, I received the message, “Cannot Use This Accessory Extreme 55AE: This accessory requires too much power,” and the iPhone would not recognize the SSD. I checked to confirm that it arrived pre-formatted to exFAT, and it had. I ended up chatting with two Apple technicians, and an Apple supervisor. I pointed out that there are a number of videos that demonstrate the “how to…” use the SanDisk (and other) SSD’s to copy files to and from the iPhone 11 to the SSD. The bottom line was that the Apple Techs’ insist that there is no way to use an external storage device with an iPhone, even by using their Lighting to USB 3 camera adapter. Now, I’m an old-timer, so there’s certainly the possibility that I’m just not sharp enough to figure out where I went wrong. But, what I am sharp enough to figure out is how easy it is to return this beautiful little SanDisk SSD to Amazon for a refund. Love dealing with Amazon, but that’s another story. Even though I returned this SSD for a refund, I’m giving it all five stars, because when I connected it to my Windows 10 laptop, it was instantly recognized. Since I purchased this SSD to work with my iPhone, not my laptop, and knowing that I would be returning it, I didn’t try to transfer any files to it. Would I recommend the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD to a friend? Only if my friend didn’t intend to use it to transfer files to or from their iPhone.

Rugged, Compact, and Incredibly Fast External SSD
Style: Old Model
Capacity: 2TB
Color: Black
I picked up the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD as an upgrade from my older external hard drives, and it’s easily one of the best storage devices I’ve used. The speed difference alone makes it worth it—transfers that used to take minutes on my traditional hard drives now finish in seconds. Large files, videos, photos, and backups move incredibly fast with no lag or stuttering. The size is another huge win. It’s unbelievably compact—smaller than most phones and light enough to clip onto a backpack or keep in a pocket without even noticing it’s there. Despite the small size, it feels durable and solid, with a rugged rubberized exterior that helps protect it from drops and everyday wear. Compared to traditional hard drives, there’s no spinning disk, no noise, and no worrying about bumps causing damage. It stays cool during most normal use and has been extremely reliable so far. I use it for work files, media storage, and backups, and it has handled everything without a single issue. A few small caveats worth mentioning: • It can get a little warm during long or heavy file transfers (not dangerously hot, just warm to the touch). • To get the full advertised speed, you need a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2. On older ports, it will still work fine but will be slower. • Like most SSDs, it’s pricier than traditional external hard drives, but the speed and portability make the difference worth it. • The included cable is on the shorter side, so you might want a longer one depending on your setup. Overall, this SanDisk Extreme SSD is a huge step up from regular external drives—faster, smaller, tougher, and much more convenient. If you need a dependable portable drive with great performance, this one is absolutely worth it.

Fantastic! (with the right USB cable)
Style: Old Model
Capacity: 2TB
Color: Black
I've encountered the frustration described by other reviewers where drive does not appear when plugged in, or unmounts unexpectedly and intermittently (appears dead). These were all solved in my case by using a quality high-speed USB-C cable, or using the super short cable provided with the unit. I think many consumers (including myself!) expect to grab any USB cable lying around and for all devices to "work", at least in a degraded capacity, but this drive is ULTRA-PICKY. Even my Apple USB cable doesn't work well with this drive, but I have an Anker 3ft high-speed cable and the device works perfectly - no problems at all. Once I got that sorted out, I've used this drive reliably for 3+ years for my Lightroom photo library, large Logic Pro projects, and video files. I don't track speed that much but seems fast-enough for my editing -- transferring 50GB in a few minutes with my old MacBook M1. I've just purchased a 2nd unit. I deduct one star because I wish the drive was a bit more graceful with everyday USB cables -- perhaps function with degraded speed and at least mount the drive (give a 'degraded speed' warning to the OS if possible), or include a label saying "For Best Performance, use high-speed USB cable". Perhaps using a quality cable is a no-brainer for pros, but there's no mention in the user manual, and in THIS arena of consumer usage, I think the product is receiving some undue negative sentiment.

Excellent storage
Style: Old Model
Capacity: 2TB
Color: Black
I got this to hold my music library for my home server. I have been using it for about a month now and I liked it enough that I bought a second one. Transfers move quickly enough that loading the library over was not something I had to sit and wait on. It stays connected without dropping or needing to be reseated. The drive is small enough to sit next to the server without taking up any real space and it doesn't get warm to the touch. The rubberized body feels solid and the carabiner loop is there if you want to clip it to something, though mine just stays put. I didn't bother with the included software. Both of them have been running without a hiccup and I have no complaints.
