SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO Portable External SSD - Up to 1050MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.1 - SDSSDE80-1T00-A25

Awesome

I’m so glad I purchased this when I saw it on sale for a great price. I had been putting off purchasing and external SSD since I own multiple external hard drives, but this is just what I needed. The improvement in speed is insanely noticeable after I started transferring all my raw video and photos in order to have another back up.

It stopped working in 2 months and I used it around 5-6 times...

Fast, and lightweight. Great portability. So far no complaints. Exactly what I hoped for in this device.

Whatever you do, this is the one to get. Carry very important information with this little device.

I used the USB C to USB A cable to connect to a New Dell Lattitude 7400. I formatted the SSD using the Windows utility in File Explorer and rather quickly transferred approximately 190 GB of data to the SSD. My problem was during file retrieval. Often the when I selected a document to open I received an error message the file is not there, is corrupt or the file extension may have changed, none of which was true. I could simply shut my laptop down, restart and re-access the file and it would open without issue. I also experienced many occasions where while trying to access a folder or file, Windows Explorer would freeze. I purchased the SSD for speed when moving files, not for my computer to lockup and not be able to accomplish work.

I use this with my iPad Pro 11 and it is amazing. I am able to edit large video files for long periods of time without eating up my on-board storage. It does heat up quickly when in use but only to a point then it maintains its that same temp for at least a couple of hours. That is the longest I have used this continuously. If you do run into any problems (not that you will) you are better off researching it and figuring it out on your own though. Their customer support is absolutely useless. Don’t let the complimentary flashback offer influence you either. It is a gimmick to try and get more money from you that doesn’t work anyway. Get the device, just skip the customer service and Flashback offer. This is just a very capable piece of hardware for you to use with no real support. The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars.

Lightweight, small, fast. Good capacity, using it to store my family photos, very happy with the purchase. Very recommended

I bought this for the sustained 1000MB/s read/write speeds and this thing delivers. You need high quality cables (not those cheapos from 7-11) and a USB 3.2 port. I had to hunt on my motherboard to find them, and I only had 2 USB-A style 3.2 ports and 1 USB-C style 3.2 on the back IO. The front panel USB-A and USB-C on my motherboard only supports 3.1. So make SURE you have USB 3.2 ports, otherwise just buy a cheaper and slower drive.

This product is great and durable for any and all of your on the go needs!
