I was looking forward to this drive for extra storage for my M1 MacMini, and I wanted a drive that would outperform a SATA 3 connection. My main resource hog applications and Opus by EastWest and Cubase for orchestral scoring. While applications loaded just fine, there was a definite choke point when it came to streaming large samples off of disk and I was getting clicks and pops even with my audio settings at 44.1/16.
Under Blackmagic, with the data transfers which were well under advertised 1000 MBps. As my screenshots show, the included USB-C cable was only mid 800s for read and 700 for write. Using the USB-C to A adapter yielded only 377 read and 350 write.
Adding insult to injury was I paid $450 for this drive 13 days ago and today it's on sale for $299.
For the pluses, it is packaged well and portable. It feels like solid quality. It was plug and play as can be.

I got this to replace a very old external hard drive. Geek Squad transferred the old content but it could not be access by my newer laptop. I have an appointment today at the store and will be bringing 2 bags of equipment. One bag of equipment shown below. I think this little external 2T drive is probably good but can't tell yet.

I had to backup my internal hard drive twice since the first time the SanDisk thought it was full. When I called SanDisk, they said there must have been some corruption so I had to reformat and redo the backup. Never had that experience with other external drives.

after 1 year of use. it stop working.
I am a photographer. I used this as an additional storage to not use my computer space for photos. this is use only for raw files and final jpg. it came out of my office only 4 times in 1 year. so not that extreme use. never get wet, or use with dust, or even use the carabiner loop. it just disconnect from the computer and it never connect back again. so if you plan to use this as an additional storage. keep in mind that you need to replace it with 1 year of use.

SanDisc - Extreme Portable 2TB external USB-C has stop working. I bought it 2.15.2023 and SanDisc stopped working on 4.5.2023. SanDisk can't be recognized on any computer. I even took it to Geek Squad to see if it works on any other computer. Unfortunately I lost all my son's sports videos and pictures that can't be recovered. Recovery of the files is not covered by SanDisc - Western Digital. They will replace your external SanDisk but first you have to ship them your old broken SanDisk. Data recovery services can cost from $500 to $3000 and up....

All of the Sandisk Extreme SSDs are defective, it is a known issue recently in the news, and it is a known issue by the manufacturer (Sandisk/Western Digital). These drives fail abruptly due to a defect, not because of anything you do to the drive. If you own one, return it and/or ensure your data is backed up as these are subject to sudden total failure with zero chance of recovery.

This was not good for my use. I am a musician. I put a sound library on it. The drive constanty loses connection. I have to eject it and reconnect to access the music library.
I would like to bring it back...over $200 spent.
I have ran all the test. It is the drive vs. My new mac mini or cords.

DO NOT BUY, 2 out of 4 have failed within less than a year will not mount and WD / Sandisk will do nothing for you and there’s currently a petition for a class action lawsuit because of these drives.
