    • 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

    • Fast Transfers in a Small Form Factor
Style: Old Model Capacity: 8tb Color: Black
The Good: - Smallest form factor I seen - Fast data transfers with the USB C cable that comes with it The Bad: - USB C cable that comes with it is ridiculously small - Doesn't work well with Android Phones, sometimes it reads, sometimes it doesn't. I think it might require an external power or maybe a firmware upgrade since the SanDisk Memory Zone Android app also doesn't recognize it The What? - It kept disconnecting on Windows 11 when transferring files, so I had to download SanDisk Memory Zone app to upgrade the firmware. Now it works flawlessly even transferring 100+GB worth of files. ... 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

    • Reliable, portable storage device.
Style: Old Model Capacity: 2tb Color: Black
Review Image by Bryce Nolting
the biggest mistake I see many folks do with their electronic devices is NOT BACKUP your important business and personal files in the event of a catastrophic failure, or accidentally deleting them. As a retired photographer, videographer, multimedia specialist, and IT support person backing up my work is the most important point of working with electronic files. I have 3 computers, desktop, laptop, server in my home and I weekly do updates, new documents, changes and need to make sure my work is secured in at least 3 locations, the device, the cloud, and a portable medium if I need to travel with my laptop. Sandisk is a reliable brand with a long history of reliability and product quality. I weekly backup my entire computer profile which includes documents, photos, audio and video files, downloads, music, multimedia projects, saved password and link files. This device is small enough not to take a huge footprint in your luggage, fits in coat pocket. It is compatible with Windows, Android, Apple and Mac computers. ... show more

    • great for travel
Style: Old Model Capacity: 2tb Color: Sky Blue
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.
