My New Essential Drive
The SanDisk 1TB Portable SSD is impressively fast and works perfectly. It’s lightweight, durable, and transfers large files in seconds, which is a lifesaver for my photo and video workflow. I love how easy it is to carry around, and it has become one of my most reliable tools on the go. Highly recommended.

Small but mighty… lots of extra storage to share between my computers
I needed a Portable drive to keep the files I use/share on 2 computers. It made the most sense to have a small portable solid state drive to keep everything on. This fit the bill, small size but large amount of storage. I like that it has a little loop on the side so I can hang it on something, or tether it to my purse so it doesn’t get lost. It works great, I just plugged it in and my computer found it and made it available for use quickly, formated as exfat, no installation required. It’s brand name gives me faith that this will last for years to come.

Impressively Small & Fast, Comes with Useless “Bonus” Software
TL:DR: Very fast, very small & portable, seems trustworthy, will likely buy again — but with a concern-inducing install procedure and utterly useless included security software.I’ve used SanDisk cards on & off in several cameras over the years, so when my backup drive died & took a couple of years worth of Time Machine backups with it, the 2TB SanDisk external SSD looked like a good step forward. It’s impressively small, and while the cable is a tad shorter than I like it’s still plenty long for basic everyday use. I did have to put an adapter on the end (standard USB to mini-USB for my MacBook Pro) but I’ve had to do that with a *lot* of devices so… no big deal. (Just keep the need for an adapter in mind if you’re buying this product.)The disk mounted almost immediately when I plugged it in, and I could do all the read/write/delete operations I’d expect to normally do. I opened the .dmg file to install the SanDisk Security app and had not problems… Until I ran that software and it kept telling me “Attach a supported SanDisk drive.” I then opened the “SanDiskSecureAccess” folder and instead of disk images found a pair of PDFs. I opened the one referencing MacOS downloads, read the short instructions, and clicked the “Ready to Download” link — and Safari opened a page on the SanDisk website that stated, “Not available. This answer is no longer available.” I tried searching on the website but finally gave up after confusing and/or hardware-only results.I then opened Time Machine on my Mac, then decided to rename the SanDisk drive (until now mounting as “External SSD”). The rename failed several times with the warning that the chosen name was either too long or had the wrong characters; it finally succeeded when I used just 10 letters, no blanks or other characters. I then went to add it to Time Machine and MacOS told me I had to reformat the disk because it was in an incompatible format. I copied all the files on it to a folder on my laptop and did the reformat, which completed in just a few seconds.By this time I had some misgivings but decided to push ahead (and am now glad I did). I restarted my MacBook Pro just to clean stray “stuff” out of memory, then tried the SanDisk Security program one more time — same results, it can’t see the new drive. I then went into Time Machine, told it to use the new drive as backup (not encrypted), and let it run — and about an hour later I had a full backup of the entire file system (appropriate, since it was the first-ever backup for this drive and my main drive only has about 180GB left free out of 1TB storage space).Since then, I’ve had multiple automatic hourly backups and three manually-triggered backups run successfully and quickly, glitch-free. I’m going to uninstall the SanDisk Secure Access app (it’s useless, but at least an uninstaller is included) and make sure I label the new drive properly. I’m likely to buy another one or two over the next year (one for photos and one for podcast files) because my external archive drive is old enough to be of concern… So I’m calling this one a 95% win, deducting one star for all the oddness of the prep, need to reformat, and over 30MB of wasted space for the useless security software.

Convenient on-the-go portable storage. Highly recommended.
These SanDisk portable SSDs are life savers for me. I do a lot of photography/videography for a non profit and I am constantly working with files on the fly. Here’s why I love them so much:- Good size physically. Fits well in your hand. Not so small you might fumble it.- On the off chance you do fumble it, it is very durable with a soft exterior. I’ve dropped it a couple of times and have had no issues.- Comfortable and functional grip. The soft exterior makes it even easier to hold and not drop (even though I just said I’ve dropped it. I’m clumsy)- It’s a good storage size for the price.- USB C port is compatible with all of my gear.- File transfer times are quick. Nothing crazy, but definitely not slow.- They actually act great as their own filing system. Easy to store because they are thin, and I can put entire projects on them and easily find later. I don’t label them, but if I did (and I should), they have plenty of surface area to label.I have nothing negative to say about it. I’ve purchased more than one and in different storage sizes. I will likely continue to purchase.

More storage than I know what to do with!
Perfect gift for anyone, it’s easy to use and I have my laptop backed up to it and plenty more storage to backup my phones photos/videos along with media from several digital cameras, it’s rugged and doesn’t heat up too much. I’ve never had any issues with photos or videos corrupting with this and it’s been great It’s the most reliable storage device I have but I always keep another backup just cause you never know!
