This drive is seriously fast. I read the reviews, and when I received it and tested it, did not disappoint. I am running apps and games from this thing with no hiccups or anything. Regular USB flash drives tested anywhere from 2-30mb/40mb read/write speed, this thing clocked at 960/1000mb read/write speed—it honestly maxed out my USB-C port, have not tested on the rated 2000/2000 read write bus speed yet (I need a new computer!)

Works Well - No Issues

Worked well for backing up an old macbook pro. I have not experienced any issues so far, but I have not used it often in the two years that I have had it. Occasionally, I plug it in in case the macbook decides to finally die, but I don't like it continually running.

I love the color it matches my 24inch IMac orange.

Bought 2 of these. One for my PS5 and one for my gaming laptop. Works great, is very small, and runs fast. Very happy with these external ssds. Just make sure you have a high speed USBc, or it won't work. Only thing I've noticed is that they can get a little warm, but not really a big issue to me

Love it! Love it! Love it! If you never use SSD (Solid State Drive), this will change your life. It's so fast! Your jump drive and other hard drives will look like dinosaurs. This is lightning fast. The upload and download speed is insane. I got things done in half the amount of time. If time is money, this thing will save you a lot of money. The case is durable and waterproof. It's compact and easy to carry. It fits in my pant's pocket. I don't really like the USB cord that comes with the SSD.
Downsize: The price! It's too expensive. I would wait for a sale. If you could get this for $150-175, go for it. It's a great deal. Speaking of speed, the biggest thing that you have to beware of is the type of port that you have. For instance, if you have Apple Macbook Air/Pro with M1 or Mac Mini with M1, this will only go up to 600MB/sec, not 2000MB/sec as advertised. Apple port only supports USB 3.1. If you want to maximize the speed, you should get an adapter. Because of the port speed and if you use M1 laptop or desktop, I would recommend getting SanDisk Pro, not the Extreme Pro. It's cheaper and performance is about the same since the M1 does not have a proper port.

I have two of these with this one being the 2nd. I bought this having no issues with the first so figured I'd buy again. After having this unit for about a month or so my data got wiped. Customer service was great and helped recover some of my files - but they didn't give me the whole story.
Apparently there is some sort of glitch in the firmware and they knew/know about the issue. I found out by searching the web and was able to piece together what happened after I lost data for a 2nd time. Thankfully, I got someone in support to help identify my unit, upload new firmware and has been working fine since.
Please be aware the number on the hard drive case is very hard to see. There is a site to run the number to see if your unit is affected. Initially my unit was reported as not affected but thankfully support performed the update anyway and fixed the issue - been fine since.
Though no one wants to deal with unexpected or expected data loss I still recommend this drive, the speed and style. Just do your homework up front and if your data is super important you should have multiple back ups anyway.
