    Great transaction. Good price, good product, well packaged, arrived when expected. I already had one of these 4TB external drives from SanDisk, and Best Buy had them for sale at a good price so I bought two more so I can rotate them for backups of my server. Very pleased!

    My favorite portable SSD on the market

    Outstanding device!! At a sale price of ~$200, this was an absolute steal. Super fast data transmission speeds in one of the most convenient form factors I've ever seen. This thing is TINY. Additionally, it has a rubber-like coating on it that makes it easy to grip. Very sturdy but insanely light as well. Included a picture of it compared to an iPhone 14 Pro Max, I was not expecting it to be so small (ordered it online) but was very pleased! I use it for RAW camera backups while I'm out on photo shoots and it has never given me an issue.

    This little SanDisk external storage device is great. Barely bigger than a credit card (though obviously thicker), it provides excellent storage in a great, portable form factor. And it is quick to read and write as well.

    It’s so compact and durable , I’m not worried about handling it, like eggs that could crack. The 4TB storage is just enough , not to little and not too big … but the physical size can’t be beat !!!

    The value and ease with which I was able to get this hard drive was really unparalleled. I much prefer going to an actual store and picking it up from real humans than ordering from a global online retail consolidator (name withheld but quite obvious).

    I keep this SSD plugged in to my MacBook Pro 14" M1 as my 'portable' Photo library (vs using the internal SSD) and after reading a few reviews about latency issues with some of the SanDisk SSDs that other users attempted to use for these kinds of dynamic applications I had some concerns but for my

    So far so good it's working excellent and I'm loving how quickly it copies files to and from a computer. I will never buy another HDD external hard drive again. From now on out it's an SSD drive because these are clearly the future of hard drives going forward.

    Using it as an external backup and works exactly as needed with plenty of memory to add more items. It is left with the computer plugged in all the time, but if needed it is small enough to carry with no needed extra power supply.

    Incorrect File Size, Fills all 4TB SSD with 250GB

    If I could give it 0 stars, I would. Do not buy this SSD if you value your time. I have wasted a whole week trying to copy files into this SSD. It artificially inflates your files and makes a 250 GB file transfer take up ~3 TB. I found other folks reporting this type of issues without any real solution. Likely to be a hardware malfunction. I recommend buying an SSD from a better company like Samsung. I'm returning my SanDisk SSD at this moment.
