  • Best drive I have ever used!
Color: Black Capacity: 2TB
These are possibly the best drives I have ever used. Super easy to use, zero noise, and run directly off of USB C so no other power supply needed. We have purchased nearly a dozen of these drives for everything from backups to transporting data. They are fast and very robust not to mention with a small footprint they are easy to store . I could not recommend them enough! ... show more

  • So Good, I Keep Losing Them (Because Everyone Else Wants One Too!)
Color: Black Capacity: 1TB
I've owned several of these SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSDs, and the only reason I keep buying more is because I let people borrow them—and they never come back. That’s how much people love using them. What I love: Blazing Fast Speeds: With up to 1050MB/s read and 1000MB/s write speeds, file transfers are lightning quick. Perfect for large media files, backups, or running apps directly from the drive. Compact & Durable: The small form factor makes it ultra-portable, and the IP65 rating means it’s water- and dust-resistant—great for travel or field work. USB-C & USB 3.2 Gen 2: Modern connectivity that works seamlessly with my laptop and other devices. Reliable Firmware: The updated firmware has kept performance consistent and stable across all the units I’ve owned. Bottom line: This drive is fast, rugged, and incredibly convenient. Just be warned—if you lend it out, you might not get it back! ... show more

  • Great for a broke college student!
Color: Sky Blue Capacity: 1TB
I got this for my video production class for college because they wanted me to store my edited videos into the 1TB drive. As expensive as it was for a broke college student like me, it was pretty worth it. It portable and really easy to use. Just a simple plug in the computer and it's instantly there. I really like how small it is, only problem with it is that it heats up a little bit fast. If you are thinking about getting this for anything gaming related, DO NOT. It not worth it, you're better buying a better external drive. This drive is for storing stuff like videos and photos or documents. ... show more

  • Great little portable hard drive to throw in my bag.
Color: Black Capacity: 2TB
I picked up the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD, and I’m really happy with it. This SSD is super compact, which is perfect for me since I’m always on the go. It fits easily in my bag, and I barely even notice it’s there. I’ve been using it with my MacBook, and it works like a charm. There are no issues with compatibility at all—just plug it in, and it’s good to go. The speed is impressive too. Transferring files is quick, whether I’m backing up large projects or just moving files around. There’s no waiting around, which I really appreciate. Being an SSD, it’s pretty durable. I’ve dropped it once or twice, and it’s held up great. I also love the fact that it’s water and dust-resistant. It’s nice to know I don’t have to baby it. SanDisk is a brand I trust. I’ve used their products for years, and they’ve never let me down. This SSD feels just as solid and reliable as their other products. If you need a fast, portable, and durable SSD for your MacBook, this is a great option. It’s the perfect size, works seamlessly with my Mac, and the performance is exactly what I was looking for. ... show more

  • I wish I had gotten one sooner!
Color: Black Capacity: 2TB
Durable, fast, and dependable—great for both daily use and emergency backups If you're someone who tends to knock things around, drop them, or lose stuff under the couch, this drive holds up surprisingly well. I’ve kept mine plugged in constantly for things like File History and versioned backups, and it hasn’t overheated or caused any issues, even after long stretches of use. It’s great if you regularly move, copy, or delete large files. Transfers between computers are fast, and it’s spacious enough to toss everything on without worrying about space or speed. It's especially handy for storing photos and videos—there's plenty of room, and moving them around is quick and easy. This also makes a great "emergency" drive. You can load it with critical files—photos, documents, medical history, bank records, anything you absolutely can’t afford to lose—and just stash it somewhere safe. If you ever need to leave in a hurry or your main system fails, you can just grab it and go. It’s basically a digital safe for your most important stuff. This might be overkill for use as a simple backup drive, but if you find it for a great price, then go ahead! I picked mine up “used – like new” for $89, and it came in standard packaging with no issues. I’d happily grab another if I saw it again at that price. _____________________________________ EDIT - I got another one on Prime Day - DON'T REGRET IT AT ALL~ ... show more
