  • Fast, reliable, and perfect for backing up photos and video
Style: Old Model Capacity: 1TB Color: Black
I’ve been using the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD (1TB) to back up photos and video, and it’s been one of the most useful pieces of gear in my kit. Transfer speeds are genuinely fast, so moving large batches of RAW files or video clips takes minutes instead of forever. Drives in this line are rated around 1000–1050 MB/s read and ~1000 MB/s write, which makes a noticeable difference when working on tight timelines.  The size and build are a big plus. It’s small enough to keep in a pocket or camera bag, and the rubberized shell feels rugged. These drives are designed with water and dust resistance and drop protection, which gives some peace of mind when traveling or shooting outdoors.  Setup is simple with USB-C, and the included cable and adapter make it easy to use with both newer laptops and older USB-A ports. I’ve used it for everything from field backups to editing directly off the drive, and it’s been consistently reliable. If there’s one small downside, it’s that like most compact SSDs, it can get slightly warm during long transfers, but nothing concerning. Overall, it’s a great portable SSD, especially for photographers, videographers, or anyone who moves large files regularly. Fast, durable, and easy to carry, which is exactly what you want in a travel drive. ... show more

  • This is working VERY WELL for me after a year
Style: Old Model Capacity: 2TB Color: Black
After a year or so of continual use, this portable SSD drive is working wonderfully still. I love how portable it is. I purchased a padded travel case for mine, and it's been safe in travel. I have read that newer models of this product sometimes have mixed reviews; but I have nothing but GOOD THINGS to say about this older model!! Wonderful and it is fast so that I never notice slowness. Mine worked with my Windows computer right out of the box, it didn't require any special setup. The storage capacity was indeed 2 TB (Terabytes). It's a GREAT BACKUP DRIVE!! It was also easily compatible with my Windows laptop. Very nice product, would buy again! ... show more

  • A Solid Option
Style: Old Model Capacity: 1TB Color: Black
This seems to work pretty well. I don't have much to compare it to, since my last external drive was a disk drive, but it transfers data relatively fast and I like the password protection feature that comes with it. I haven't tested the limits of the storage, but I have used it right after it was in the cold (about 15°F) and it worked well. It's also a nice compact size, but not so small that it can get lost easy. Overall, I think this is a solid option for external storage. I bought a case for it separately, and it gives me some additional peace of mind that it won't be damaged, so I would recommend buyers do that, too. Is it worth the price? So far, so good. I'll definitively say yes if it's still working well in eight years or so (that's how long my old external disk drive is and it still functions well). ... show more

  • 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. ... show more

  • 🔥 Blazing Fast, Ultra-Compact, and Totally Worth It! 🔥 Blazing Fast, Ultra-Compact, and Totally Worth It!
Style: Old Model Capacity: 1TB Color: Black
I absolutely loved my purchase! Exceeded my expectations from the very first use. The storage capacity of 1TB is perfect for anyone who needs extra space for large files, backups, photos, and videos without constantly worrying about running out of room. The performance is outstanding. File transfers take just seconds and, even under heavy workloads, the noise level is non-existent — completely silent, which I really appreciate. Another big plus is the compatibility. It worked flawlessly with my devices using USB-C, with no setup or additional software required. Just plug and play. The design truly stands out. It’s very small, exactly as shown in the photo, making it extremely portable and easy to carry in a bag or backpack. The fit in my hand feels great and gives a strong sense of durability and premium quality. Considering the speed, portability, build quality, and brand reliability, this SSD offers excellent value for money. It’s fast, compact, durable, and incredibly efficient. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful external SSD that delivers performance and convenience in a small package. An excellent choice! 🚀💯 ... show more

Great size and easy to use without external power, but wants to launch a new window every time the computer is unlocked. This is annoying. I bought two (different colors) and they both do this.

  • Reliable, Easy to install and use, Quiet, Good Value for your money
Style: Old Model Capacity: 8TB Color: Black
An admitted computer geek, I have 14 external Solid State Drives ranging in capacity from 1 TB to 8 TB, with speeds of 1k and 2k. Most capacities are 4 TB. I’ve found this specific Sandisk model (in any size and speed specification) to be the fastest and most reliable for my Dell XPS laptop with Thunderbolt 3 compared to competing products with similar specifications, (with the one exception being the Samsung T9, which is a fine unit with roughly the same performance as a Sandisk. I have two Samsung T9s. Do NOT confuse it with the T7, which provides significantly inferior performance.) The Sandisk units are quiet, easy to install, and may get warm with heavy use, but never hot if sufficiently ventilated. I confess I like the faster speeds of the 2k units over the 1k, but the maximum usable speed difference with my equipment is an increase of about 40% when transferring data between two drives with 2k speeds plugged into their own Thunderbolt 3 ports. I don’t achieve twice the speed. Unless I’m backing up several TBs of data, the speed difference is not significant in my productivity. If purchasing a 4TB SSD I’d still purchase the 2k speed due to the minimal price difference. When the 8TB drives become reasonably priced at 2k I’ll likely buy one or two. For now, however, I’m surprisingly satisfied with the speed of my two 1K 8TB drives. Over the last few months, the price has dropped by 40%-50%, so I took the plunge and was delighted with the performance. Plugging fewer units into my computer (or docking station) helps avoid a variety of issues and allows the computer to run a little faster overall. The 8TB 1k drives are, in my actual use, about 25% faster than the 2TB or 4TB 1K drives. I have only guesses, but no confirmed explanations that clarify the reason for the increased usable speed of the 8TB drives over the 2TB or 4TB 1k drives. I reformat my drives to NTFS, which I think is superior to EXFAT if used exclusively on a Windows computer. I have tried both formats and have not noticed a difference in read or write speeds. My preference for the NTFS is the extra information and other things that can be done with files in that format. The price of Solid State Drives tends to move frequently, and often for only a day or two at a time – and sometimes for only a few hours. I keep the drives and other items that interest me in my “Save for Later” section with Amazon. If you’re unfamiliar with that, you can easily get there by going to your CART (even if it’s empty) and selecting “Saved for later” just below the cart. I check the items I’m interested in purchasing daily and nearly always find a time (or an event) where the price is notably discounted. However, I offer one piece of advice if you embrace this form of price monitoring: when the item reaches a price point you’ve pre-determined is acceptable, BUY IT without delay. Waiting a day (or sometimes even hours) can result in the price returning to its pre-sale level. ... show more
