Extreme Portable SSD 1TB up to 550MB/s read Solid State Drive

This is the only external hard drive I'll probably never bother putting in a case. It's small, light, but incredibly durable. I wasn't actually expecting it to be as small as it is, which is a plus in my opinion. One of the main reasons I wanted this drive was that it is USB-C – having moved over to the new MacBooks in 2017 I wanted to go some way to leaving the clumsy adapters behind. The drive comes with a very short USB-C cable, with a small adapter if you're using on a device with standard USB-A ports. The build itself is very good, it's amazing how far USB devices have come even in five years – this isn't much bigger than about three of my old Kingston drives put together, and is about 60 times the capacity. The design is modern and a bit funky, and the firm rubber edging makes it bounce when dropped and provides good protection, though it is a magnet for dust. Even though this is a rugged drive, it would've been nice to have even a small slipcase included, considering the price. As for speeds, I'm not one to meticulously get into the nitty gritty and measure them on these fancy pieces of software. I preferred to test it in a way which would produce real world numbers, so I just transferred some files. I saw a file of 5 gb transfer in 9 seconds, a file of 15gb transfer (from my USB-C MacBook Pro) in 28 seconds, and a group of files totalling 38 gb transfer in two minutes. That, to me, is incredible. Every time I transfer a video file or a collection of RAW photos files I'm amazed at the speed, compared to my old HDD which took an age to transfer, with the frustration and clunkiness of adapters on top. This is a drive that would be perfectly suited to being used as a video or photo archive, which is what I am using it for, and obviously it's ideally suited to be a Time Machine or any other back up drive. The speed and ease of transferring, through a cable my Mac is designed for, makes my work flow so much better. In the end, even with the 'deal of the day' I got, this was triple the price I've ever paid for an external hard drive, but I'm so glad I dove in.

Purchased as I needed to replace my Seagate one. Nothing wrong with Seagate, but due to the new USB-C ports machines now have, the cable on the old Seagate one kept cutting in and out and was dying on me. Chose this. Was expensive, but was in middle of a live project and so had to invest. SIZE WOW. I think this is a real selling point for me. I was so surprised by how small it was. I've tried to take a pic for buyers to relate to it. It can sit in palm of hand. About size smaller and so light, than a computer mouse. RUGGEDNESS Completely feels secure, and has already has had some knocks being on set and around my bag. When you plug it in, you know the cables are secure and during transfer. Yet to test against external extreme conditions. EASE OF USE Like with all of the portable drives. They are simple to use. Simply plug and play. Up to you if you want to use it as an external drive, or/and as a back up drive. No issues what so ever. Up to you if you want to install the Sandisk encryption software. If it wasn't so pricey (as everyone is different), I would snap up another.... maybe if I save up after this festive season.. Definitely recommend. I'm work remote and so my needs are for it to be quite resilient. Hope this review helps others.

No words. Absolute monster on speed, weight, size and theoretically on durability too. When I saw the product box I was astonished. When I opened it and grabbed the disc I was shocked. As you can see from the attached pictures (sorry for poor quality) it is a lot smaller than a WD My Passport Ultra 2Tb, specially a LOT thinner. What you can't see is how LIGHT it is. It also feels sturdier, specially knowing there's no moving parts inside. I'm just happy to throw it around now with no care at all. Comes with a (short) USB-C to USB-C cable plus a USB-A 3.1 adaptor for the computer side. This is probably the only weak side of the whole product - as with any other, be careful with the connection. Ah! Forgot about the blasting speeds (CrystalDiskMark run on Win7, on a 4 years old Latitude E5570). It is 3-4 times quicker than all the portable HDD I've got. It's almost as quick as the SSD in my laptop. If you live on the move, and moving lots of files, this is a no-brainer and a must-have. Save some money up, it's well worth it. PS: Main downside: it's so amazing you are going to fill it up too quickly! Can you tell I fell in love with it? UPDATE: 2 extra pics, speed checks this time with a new Latitude E5501 with Windows 10, first one running on USB-A, second on Thunderbolt port. Also, after extensive and hard use, hard drive becomes quite hot. This is I suppose quite normal, though a potential point of concern for durability.

I use this drive as a safe and compact backup to all my movies, music and photos. I have 2 other drives storing my precious files but this one is for travel and goes with me everywhere. It is smaller than it looks in the picture and for that I am pleased. It works well and copies at high speeds, my Mac Air recognized it as soon as it was plugged in and I am impressed with the performance and quality. It is built tough and is solid state so will last and last. I may buy only SSD from now on. My data is safe and this small external hard drive is very reliable and I recommend it. I liked it so much, I bought another for a gift.

Yıllardır kullanırım, bir kere hata vermedi. Her yere sığacak boyutta. Güvenli şekilde dosya saklamak isteniyorsa, tercih edilebilir.

جديد. سريع. شكل جميل

Comprei a versão de 1tb vendida pela Tech-Place. Chegou bem antes do prazo estimado e em perfeitas condições. É realmente impressionate o quão pequeno o SSD é, ainda mais quando comparado aos HDs externos (trambolhos) que tenho. A velocidade de transferência atingiu minhas expectativas, especialmente conectando direto a uma porta USB-C (há um adaptador para a porta USB-A 3.0, mas nem cheguei a usá-lo). Parece resistente e o design, assim como suas texturas, é muito bacana. Um ponto que vi muitas avaliações reclamando é o comprimento do cabo. Ele é curto, mas para mim foi o tamanho ideal. Torna prático para levar no bolso junto com o SSD e não vejo problema em deixar o SSD pendurado quando conectado ao computador considerando a leveza do aparelho. O único ponto negativo que tenho é o preço, porém para um produto tecnológico vendido no Brasil, não tem como ser diferente. Se fosse mais barato já tinha comprado uns 3 para mim e mais alguns para dar de presente.
