My god, where was this my entire life. Have put half my Steam library and all of my battle.net library on it, still has space. Bye bye to space issuesPros- Lightweight? Its literally weightless, actually thought I got an empty box when i received it and recorded the unsealing of the package :)- Fast!!! Tho not blazing, but can comfortably play games from it. However, fast paced multiplayer games must NOT be played on this, as it can have certain lag- Can be used with phones and tablets as well, now carrying my entire book, movie and music collection with me for on-the-go entertainment!!- Wire is very short and is sturdy, port is sturdy as well. Usb C to USB C, thus no proprietary carp in the middle- ALWAYS detects with the same drive letter every time on my laptop. So much more convenient, as then i do not have to manually change the drive assignment every time I connect itCons:- Not a con per se, but see if you have a USB 3.0 port, it will give the fast transfer rates only then, else will be constrained by the max data transfer speed of your USB port- Online reviews in the US have noted a high rate of failures of this disk and that they are clearing them off for a discount because of this. Thus, would recommend not using as a primary backup- Wire is very short, thus leading to the drive hanging from it when connected to a portable device like a phone. Drive is light, so not too much strain on the port, but still need to be carefulGreat buy for on the go backup and entertainment!!

Purchased 2TB Sandisk Extreme Portable 10gbps uses Samsung M.2 NVME SSD internals so will be extremely durable. I also read that this SSD has a DRAM cache to buffer the data makes it slightly better than Samsung T7 which is without a DRAM.To set the background, I recently bought the Acer Spin 5 i7 11th gen with 16gb LPDDR4X RAM, 500gb M.2 NVME PCIE Gen 4 SSD with 16gbps transfer rate. 2 Thunderbolt 4 C ports, 2 USB A ports, HDMI snd Micro SD slot. To match its capability, I purchased this Sandisc Extreme Pro 10gbps 2TB model.Could achieve real world 1+ gbps peak transfer speed over USB C Thunderbolt 4 for the Video folder. The video folder transferred in a jiffy. USB C 3 2 with 10gbps transfer capability will be sufficient to harness capability of this external Sandisk SSD.For Snaps and Music folder, speeds reduce to an average of 550mbps. Album metadata/Album cover slows the speed significantly to a crawling 10-15mbps.For Document folder, speed drops to about 475mbps.Therefore, in my thoughts for external SSD, write with maximum sequential transfer speeds is directly proportional to the file size (for small file sizes, HDD with USB 3.1 support will still be faster at peak threshold of 120 -300mbps). This is due to the quirky read-scan-erase-write cycle for each written file on SSD unlike direct sequential write on HDD over empty disc space.Also, please ensure that alternate USB C-C or USB A-C cables must be certified for minimum 10gbps transfer speed (my Amazon Basic USB C-C charging cable could not support >30mbps as its only meant for fast charging and not fast data transfer).Three soft issues to note is-1) SSD gets hot to touch during use2) 1xUSB C-C cable provided is stubby and short. Additional USB C female to USB A adapter is provided though the connection with main cable is a bit flimsy and not firm.3) Sandisk 5 year Warranty registration website did not recognize model number-serial number combination. I had to chat with their US Customer Support, provide them photos of front, back of the drive and Amazon Invoice copy. Next day, Warranty registration email was received from Sandisk for 5 years as promised.Update:I formatted the Sandisk Extreme Pro drive to NTFS so I can back up the Win 10 Laptop System Image (if you use Apple device, NTFS cannot be used for back up so take note). My 475 gb (all partitions) were backed up as an ISO Image file in just 15 minutes flat via Thubderbolt 4 USB C port! This is the best case scenario for restore in case something goes wrong using Recovery USB stick.CAUTION: NTFS format being newer and faster is not recognized by iOS nor Android (there is a hack) so take the right decision based on usage.Conclusion:Great for speed junkies, Gamers and Content creators

The SSD looks good but the inbox data cable and C to A type connector slow down the connection the next day when used. It would have been great if there were two separate cables like Samsung's SSD. Otherwise everything is great.

Steady, Speedy, Reliable, Data Storage...... Along with high graded password security provision. Very minimal heating even while very heavy usage.Super performance, super quality, light weight. Although the price is on the higher side.A must buy product for those who need it & can afford it.

Amazingly Product. Extremely portable External SSD. Performance, Security, Durability, Fast and Slim.It fits in the Pam.

Blazing fast SSD

Very compact, surprisingly so.As mentioned by others the write speed is slower in 2023+ models as compared to the ones from 2021/2022.My write speed is coming to ~440MBPS, thats fast, just not as fast as advertised.
