    I was honestly scared to try an external portable hard drive since my last one stopped allowing access out of no where but I decided to trust this brand since I’ve used their SD cards for most of my life. I’m so happy to say it was a great purchase! It helped me clear out my computer from old projects that I needed to keep. It holds SO much content. It is the perfect size for portability. It came with an adapter for USB.

    A compact and rugged drive for editing 4K video

    I bought this SanDisk 2TB USB-C nVME drive so I can edit video directly from it on a 2020 M1 Macbook Air with 16GB RAM. I haven't edited anything from it yet, but I did run the Blackmagic Disk Speed test on it. As you can see from the screenshot, the drive achieved 617.2MB/sec writes and 763.9MB/sec reads. Since I will not be editing anything larger than 4K, according to these tests, it is fast enough for all my editing needs. I also hooked the drive to my 9th gen i7 Windows laptop with 32GB RAM and ran the PC version of the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test. Surprisingly, the Windows laptop achieved faster read speeds with the drive (923MB/s) than the M1 Macbook Air. The write speeds are a bit slower (537.9MB/sec) but not by much. Obviously, benchmarks do not always reflect real world use of any product, but based on these benchmarks, this drive is great for 4K video editing. On top of that, the compact and rugged design of the drive makes it perfect for a laptop bag and editing on the go. The retail package comes with the drive itself, an (about) 6" USB-C to USB-C cable, and a USB-C to USB3 Type A adapter. At this time, I highly recommend this product.

    Easy to setup and read/write speed is fast! I personally am using this as backup storage for my game data off my PS4. The connection required to use with it is a short cable, perhaps there is a longer one available, but that is the only downside. Not worth deducting a star just for that though! I would recommend this, especially if you can get it on sale like I did!

    Very easy to install and portable! I had to buy this to transfer a bunch of files from an older hdd and it's been working like a dream. It does get a but hot to the touch at points (enough that my cat who has an affinity for warm things noticed enough to make a sound) so be careful with that, I guess?

    Fastest external hard drive I've ever used. I use it to store current video files and use it as a main source/backup for proxies. The form factor is super convenient too. Smaller than it looks. Durable. Fast. Highly recommend. Check photo for size reference. MacBook in photo is 15inch model.

    I did sync the SSD drive to my MacBook Pro. Before using, I formatted the drive to be compatible only with Macs. You can format to be utilized with Macs and Windows or just Windows. The physical size is smaller than I expected. It is roughly as thick as my iPhone but the size of my credit card. Easily can be placed in my Laptop Bag. I exported large Lightroom files with over 6,000 pictures edited and unedited. It did take roughly 30 minutes to upload an album with a 1,000 images. Storage wise I recommend having the drive and using cloud storage as a backup. I do like that the cable included can be used as a USB-C without the adapter but if needed you can add the adapter.

    This guy stays plugged into my computer pretty much 24/7. I moved all of my documents over to this (cloud backups, of course) and run my everyday tasks from this instead of keeping everything locally on my desktop. Game changer for performance of my laptop doing it this way. SanDisk is always preferred.

    Fast, extremely small and lightweight. I needed a reliable external SSD for fieldwork in high altitude areas of the Himalayas. This fits the bill perfectly. I couldn't have asked for anything better. One small knock is that it can get warm when you're trying to transfer large amounts of data.

    I'm in love with this drive. It is about half the size of the typical smartphone, and easily fits in one's pocket. I got the two terabyte model on sale at a price I just couldn't pass up. The one terabyte model would be a good option for those looking to save a little money. This makes for the perfect, "Break glass in case of emergency," sort of backup drive. I was getting consistent write speeds of around 160 mb per second. The drive comes pre-installed with SanDisk security software to help you encrypt the drive, should you choose to do so prior to use.
