This thing is tiny!!!!
I have been wanting a portable SSD. Not to use as a main drive for backups but, given the 1TB of space I have been able to use it as that and a go between for my files and others files as well.
It is quick! Given it being an SSD and USB-C that much is expected. I love that I can toss it in my bag and not have to worry about it!
My only gripe is I wish that the cable was longer *that may cause an impact in performance I guess?* or something was included like a stand so it wouldn't put a bunch of tension on your USB port depending on the layout of your PC. Laptop users need not worry though!

One of the best external hard drives in the game. 1 TB is LOT for such a compact and teeny thing. This is great if you’re a photographer/videographer - OR if you’re a recent college grad / comp sci student with text books / scripts - etc that you want to store on an external drive. It may seem pricey but it’s worth investment just to store items that you aren’t 100% sure you want to keep locally.

I am Leary about backing up my data especially items containing sensitive information to any cloud. I prefer to keep such items backed up locally. I found the SanDisk Extreme Portable 1TB external drive to be just the answer I needed. It is fast and reliable, and the physical size make it easy to store or transport if necessarily.

I bought this one particularly to use it on my PS5 as we know PS5 storage is sort of limited and no real expansion NVME is available now, however, you can plug an external SSD and play your PS4 games off of it in your PS5. That is exactly what I used it for and by God this one delivers. The load times is as fast and in some cases (The Last Of Us 2) it loads even faster than the internal SSD ( I don't know why). So if you are buying this for your next gen console storage I highly recommend this. Its compact and its great value if you get the deal price. It also has amazing transfer speed on my laptop to from NVME internal drive to this SSD. I have the previous gen SSD of this model and it is actually twice as fast transferring data. So get it now if you are looking for an external SSD.

This thing is great! It is tiny, fast, and holds a TB of data! I use it to edit iMovie videos. It comes with a USB-C to A adapter, but it's not needed for me.

I 1000% recommend this hard drive. I am a wedding photographer so the security of my raw images is my top priority. I have used LaCie, Western Digital passports and other external hard drives and have had 3 drives fail on me before. I have never had a problem with these Sandisk's. They are small, durable and fairly quick for editing on the go. I will always use SSD from here on out and these drives are my go-tos! I have three of these and will probably be ordering another one soon lol.

The SanDisk Extreme Portable 1TB SSD is a fantastic compact storage solution. Its USB-C NVMe interface delivers blazing-fast transfer speeds, perfect for handling large files or backups on the go. The rugged, water- and dust-resistant design ensures durability, while the sleek black finish looks great. It’s lightweight, portable, and compatible with both PC and Mac. Though slightly pricey, its performance, build quality, and 1TB capacity make it an excellent investment for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Highly recommended for reliable, high-speed storage!

Love this little light weight SSD. Very compact and fast - no complaints. All I had to do was plug it into my computer and it was accessible. Super easy. No issues so far.

I bought this to tranfer my files from a university email address that was shutting down. I easily transferred all my files. Super user-friedly! Goes with both Mac and Windows. Very light and thin, easy to store long term!

A very compact and portable SSD with a high capacity, it uses USB-C and comes with a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box.
The USB cable that comes in the box is very short but is the perfect length to connect and use, it doesn't really need a longer cable.

Despite many claims from others that these drives do not perform well or are failing on them, they are not for me. (*knock on wood*)
I use multiple of these drives for my Video Production company and have had great experiences using them for a wide array of footage types and use in high demand video editing / storage scenarios. I travel with them, drop them and probably spill water on them every now and again -- they've been able to withstand it all.
