SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD 1050MB/s R, 1000MB/s W,Upto 2 Meter Drop Protection with IP55 Water/dust Resistance, HW Encryption, PC,MAC & TypeC Smartphone Compatible, 5Y Warranty, External SSD

An outstanding product for anyone. I own a seagate external HD before this but this thing is fast and light. I know the device is small but when I saw/handle it actually, I simply laugh as it was too small but the build quality was second to none.It comes with exFat file system so it works on my laptop as well as on my Mac automatically. It works faster on my Mac though. A 20+ GB file took 30-40 sec approx.My main reason for buying this product is to get rid of iCloud subscription which I did on monthly basis which is a headache. And believe me the more storage space (iCloud) you buy the little it feels as it fills up space quite rapidly in no time. Now I have ended my monthly subscription totally.One thing I don't like is that it heats up quite fast but it was during my first usage transferring huge old files.

Quite compact, elegant design and superb performance!

The 'SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 1TB' is a solid external drive that delivers dependable performance, though not quite as fast as its advertised speeds. While it claims up to 1050MBps read and 1000MBps write, my actual tests using the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test showed around 800MBps for both read and write speeds. It's worth noting that I formatted the drive in exFAT, which is compatible with both Mac and Windows devices, as opposed to APFS (exclusive to Apple devices), which might yield higher speeds.In a real-world test, transferring a 23.65GB file to the SSD took about 47 seconds, and copying it back to my laptop took 32 seconds, both over a Type-C port. While these speeds are lower than the theoretical maximums, they're still quite fast for typical everyday use. For normal users, who aren’t constantly moving massive files, you’ll find it transfers 1GB files in a blink.If you're looking for blazing speeds, formatting it in APFS on an Apple device will give you better performance. But for most users, especially those working across platforms, the real-world speeds of around 700MBps read and 500MBps write in exFAT are more than adequate. Overall, this SSD is a good balance of portability and speed—perfect for everyday use!

The SSD drive is fast and handy. It copies the data faster than a normal HDD. It is purely a value for money buy. The SSD doesn't heats up at all, the design is very sleek and the build quality is also good.

Works fine for transferring pics and videos directly from mobile.. Connects well with laptop as well

Worth the price. Very handy and works with phone as well.

UPDATE:SSD Failed. Search on internet this model has a lot of issues and if you are planning to store important data it's your loss. Like in my case where very sensitive financial statements, account details were stored. I used it 4 times to backup data till now and it failed completely, the SSD Fails to be detected. Now I can get it replaced in warranty but in India a third party support store is going to examine it to ensure its not working then they will replace but more than the drive due to the sensitive nature of data I cannot hand it over to someone else other than the actual company. If they try something funny I will lose a boat load of cash. SanDisk says they will destroy defective drives in due time and not try to reuse but when is that time or can they guarantee no data leak they don't say anything. Look upon Google a small PC repair shop bought 7 of these for their engineers to carry essential stuff for their job and 6 of them failed. Many such examples are there. So buy at own risk and don't store important data or data you don't want others to see.OLD REVIEW:Its a good SSD. No Space Issues. No Speed Issues. Runs warm though. 1050MB/s model.For people complaining it takes more space than copied, its not a fault of the product its the exFAT formatting the default with which the product comes. Reformat into NTFS and everything will be fine. NTFS is better from security stand point but for disk lifespan exFAT is better. Overall I feel NTFS is better, ran multiple SSDs with it and won't really matter, you won't use this your entire life.For people complaining about speed not just the port but the cable you are using also matters. Don't use your phone cable to test it, it will come out pathetic. Use the given cable on a USB 3.2 port for max speed. USB 3 ports will be blue in color, exact standard of your computer you need to figure out.One real issue I see is it runs warm (when not doing anything) to slightly hot when using, not to the extent to freak out. If the case is warm the internal SSD should be hot. Don't know what kind of heat sinks this has, can't crack open to see. Will try to research, reach out to SanDisk and update here. SSDs do get warmer than traditional HDDs, so no need to worry a lot.Overall worth the money. Bought very recently, will update if something changes.

Good quality and compatible design.
