As far as Apple products, the SD Extreme Pro SSD comes with pre-installed links to download a security software app for MacOS (Mac Desktops or MacBooks) that you’ll need to set up a password and enable encryption. It’s a pretty easy process though the password setting process is made more difficult as the password entering boxes are nonexistent (with my settings at least) so you have to watch where the cursor changes from arrow to a type icon. There were no indicators (black dots) to show each entered password character (or the option to “show” password). I just pressed enter after I thought it was entered correctly and hoped for the best. They do make you confirm the password so in the end you’ll be fine. Unfortunately, whether a Sandisk oversight or an Apple issue, there is no iOS security software for this device - I’ve tried ALL Sandisk Security Apps in the Apple App Store as of 7/23. So, if you set up security in MacOS, the SD Extreme Pro will not be readable by iOS devices. In order to use on both MacOS and iOS devices easily, you’ll either have to 1) forgo the security or 2) disable the security in macOS before each iOS use then re-enable in macOS afterwards. A hassle to say the least. Without this issue, this would have been an exceptionally balanced device (looks, size, speed, security, etc) but someone blew it on the security utility front - again, unless it’s an Apple policy issue.
