I’ve seen a lot of reviews on here talking about how broken or bad this drive is but these reviews are coming from people who want all of this specific high tech security function or people who are easily frazzled by technology. I’m here to tell you, as a someone strictly looking for some extra storage space on his computer, who for years struggled with Hard drive failure, loosing data over and over because my HDD’s kept falling, breaking or disconnecting improperly, this SSD is a godsend. I own 4 of them with the intention of buying two more, one for myself and one for my girlfriend. If you are simply looking for an SSD that will store your most treasured data whether it be work files, family pictures etc and not fail you then this is with out a doubt the last portable drive you’ll ever need to buy. It does exactly what it sets out to do. The read/write speed is incredibly fast especially when transferring data between two of these units, It’s a very compact unit making it extremely portable and very convenient, there is no software to install you just connect and go, it’s literally like using a big flash drive. This product is very much worth your time and worth the money and will actually save you money in the long run.

This thing is tiny. A little pricier than some other options, but worth it in my opinion if you’re trying to save space and keep things light.

I picked up this external drive to use exclusively for video editing (not long term storage). I use iMovie and Final Cut Pro X. I was torn between the faster, more expensive pro model, and this standard model. After reading a few reviews that mentioned successfully editing 4K video, I decided to go with the standard model. Works great!

With USB3.1gen2, Crystal Disk Mark Result are 561MB/s(Read) and 492MB/s(Write) on Q32T1 test. But default file allocation size is 1MB(exFAT) amd too large for small text files, so I reformatted it with 128KB(exFAT).

Time will tell, I gave 4 stars because I just got it

About the size of a credit card and works as advertised: fast and effective. I didn’t use the SanDisk software. I just formatted it and use it as a remote back up drive for my XPS 15 9670 which has a USB-C port. Backups up a 1TB SSD in minutes.

No issues right out of the box. Reformatted and using it as an external work driver for pro tools. Great value for the price.
