This thing is super small but not fragile. It’s rubbery and it is lightning fast. Great for my needs as a traveling Video Editor.

This little HD is such a great tool. It is not bigger than a car key open but tis performance is outstanding. Ideal to edit high definition video files (4K, 60fps). It comes with USB C cable with a normal USB adaptor.

This is my first stand alone SSD and I am very pleased. Bought it for my 12.9 inch IPAD Pro to edit video. Works great! I started using it for my iMac too!

Coming from a WD My Passport Studio 2Tb HD, I was very surprised how improved the performance of my LR was. I use this drive strictly for photo editing on an old MacBook Pro (2011) and thought that the old USB interface on my MAC would render any speed improvements provided by the SSD moot. I was wrong! I’m very pleased so far.

Sandisk makes great stuff. This thing is light as a feather, size of a stack of 5 credit cards – totally cool for 500GB of external solid state storage. Handy ring to attach to whatever.

This item is is small yet rugged. It is very fast and convenient. I like the cable conversion included with the hard drive.
Marvin Koelpin (verified owner) –
been using this for the past week and its crazy fast. i use external SSD a lot lately, and when i ran the speed test this is the fastest one. and not just comparing with brand names in regular enclosures, but on brand name kits as well.

very practice and confortable external SSD ! full recommended !
Althea Johnston (verified owner) –
It works as intended and comes with a USB Type-A adapter, which is nice for use on certain machines. I haven’t tested its drop or water-resistance capability and hope I never have to, but it’s nice to know its rated to withstand some of those potential hazards.

Oh well this is SanDisk, I think you already knew it.

Arrived on time as always because of the excellent service from B&H Video. Plugged it in and it worked immediately. So far, so good.
Stanford Johnston (verified owner) –
Nice hard drive works good, not quite as fast as I expected but got a good deal at B&H . Looking forward to the price coming down on the SSD’s so I can get more. Fast shipping at B&H got it in 3 days.

This is the second SanDisk USB 3.1 SSD that I have purchased for my digital photography. An excellent addition for a laptop which oftentimes gets maxed out with large image files.
