    This SSD is a game-changer! I use it to store all my photos and work directly from Lightroom, and it feels just as fast as working with photos stored on my laptop. Seriously, the speed is unreal. It's super light and portable, making it easy to take anywhere, and it’s built tough, so I don't have to worry about it getting knocked around. Works seamlessly with my Mac—no issues at all. Did I mention how fast it is? If you need speed, reliability, and portability for your photo storage, this is the one! Plus, the water and dust resistance is a great extra!

    Color: BlackCapacity: 2TBVerified Purchase
    Love this external ssd, very fast and helps store my photos for my photo and video work I do. I love how compact it is and it's incredible speed along with it's durable construction. Though sadly after I exposed the cable to a bit of moisture it immediately broke and caused corrosion inside the cable (thankfully not the actual SSD). I did end up buying a new cable that was way faster than the factory one and I WILL RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO BUY A FAST 10GP cable it is so worth it since it made my read and writes increase by 300mb transfer.

    Overall love this external drive very helpful but please buy a fast data transfer cable for it to use it at it's fullest.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good for back-up, plays well my Time Machine on my iMac
    Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2024
    Color: BlackCapacity: 2TBVerified Purchase
    After many years of use, my back-up hard drive started getting noisier and I figured its end was near. I decided to go with a solid-state device, and this one seemed to fit the bill. It works very well with Time Machine on my iMac, and the data transfer rate is very fast. Even though I don't need to transport it, the small size means less clutter on my desk, and since it's solid-state, there's one fewer electrical connection to deal with.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite External Hard Drive
    Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2024
    Color: BlackCapacity: 2TBVerified Purchase
    What makes this SSD stand out is its durability. It's water and dust-resistant (IP55-rated), and it’s shock-proof, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe even in challenging conditions. The 2TB capacity provides ample space for storing a vast amount of files, ensuring you never run out of room when you need it most.

    The SSD connects via USB-C, which is incredibly convenient and future-proof, but it also includes a USB-A adapter for wider compatibility with older devices. It's lightweight, making it easy to carry in your pocket or bag without any hassle.

    Overall, this portable SSD combines durability, performance, and capacity in a compact package, making it a reliable choice for anyone who needs to store or transfer data securely and quickly. Highly recommended!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good value but finicky on Mac
    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2024
    Color: BlackCapacity: 4TBVerified Purchase
    This drive is fast and a good value, but after 6 months, I can say that it's rather finicky on a Mac. So I'm reducing my rating to 4 stars.

    My first issue was that the drive became unrecognizable on my MacBook Pro M1. The Mac couldn't see the drive in Disk Utility or give any sign that the drive existed at all. Even more bizarre, when I plugged it into three other Macs, it worked fine. Eventually, I figured out that it was because I wasn't using the original cable that came with it, which I think is perhaps a lightning cable or something, which apparently my MacBook Pro M1 really wanted. But to work on 3 other macs just fine with a regular USB-C cable? Bizarre. So there was quirk number one.

    Later on, when encrypting the drive, I either unplugged it too soon, or the operating system didn't unmount it properly, and the drive became corrupted and this time, though showing up in DiskUtility, couldn't be formatted or partitioned without failing with a strange error each time. Others on the internet who had this issue said they ultimately had to return the drive for a new one. I was about to return mine too, but then as a last-ditch effort, I borrowed a Windows 11 machine, which recognized the drive no problem. So I re-partitioned it there, and then brought it back to my Mac, where Disk Utility was happy to deal with it again.

    The third quirk is that often, my Mac refuses to eject the drive. Ventura, and Sonoma before it, almost always says the drive is in use, even when every program is closed. Spotlight isn't indexing it. Maybe it's because I have my primary Photos Library on it and it's doing something in the background? But it's not obvious, and I have to shut-down my computer almost every time to eject this disk. I'll have to put more time into researching active processes to see what the deal is, but I just don't have this issue with my other external drives. So again, Sandisk and Apple need to coordinate on this.

    So while I'd love to give this drive five stars, all these quirks on the Mac have wasted a lot of my time. And SanDisk (Western Digital) needs to really take a look at some of the compatibility issues with Mac and update the firmware / drivers on this.

    As a traveling photographer with a ton of gear, this is a perfect addition to my gear without carrying around a large external hard drive. It's fast, it's light and pretty perfect so far.

    I’m absolutely MESMERIZED by the speed, capacity, portability, and trustworthiness this external storage has! As a creator, these are things I definitely want to go well, and in the 21st century, this drive is one you can rely on to be at the ready and work immaculately, every single time. The transfer speeds are so good, you can work off of it for read/write, directly from editor applications. If you’ve been searching for an external drive for a while, get this one— it’s truly phenomenal!
