SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 8TB (up to 1050 MB/s read, 1,000MB/s write, NVMe SSD, USB-C, External Solid State Drive, IP65 rated for dust and water resistance, Carabiner loop) Black

Been using this for a bit now and it’s been great. Really fast when moving big files and doesn’t lag at all. Small, lightweight and easy to carry around. Does exactly what I need it to do, no issues so far, very good for content creation that need more and more space.

very fast ssd, it so tiny and portable, no wonder its expensive the quality is so so good. I use to save my editing work on mac. Thanks

I have used this particular brand of storage for years with the same trustworthy results. The unit is small and compact yet boasts the saving of a massive 2 Terabytes of data. Now comes with a cable end converter that allows both USB 2.0 and USB 3 connection, which should facilitate almost all computer connections. The data transfer is quite fast and the process to use is simple. Once plugged into a PC, whether Apple or Windows, the window opens up to display the pre-installed software that should be activated to make the drive secure. Once this is set up you should create a simple password for first time use. This then allows the unit to be protected against data loss. It can be configured to 'remember' certain PC's so as it does not ask for the password every time used. This feature is great because if you lose the unit - it will not allow access to your data without the password. The unit is lightweight and small enough to slip into any laptop pouch or a pocket or handbag. More than happy to recommend.

Brilliant, pocketable little device allowing you to easily carry 'everything' with you. It seems to be well-made and robust but the drawbacks may outweigh the advantages for some people. DRAWBACKS: 1. Transfer is MUCH slower than expected, regardless of temperature. Using the front USB3 port of my Windows 10 i7 PC, which has a very fast NVMe 'C' drive, it takes a disappointing 8 seconds to copy an album to/from the Sandisk compared with 5 seconds to/from my portable USB3 Transcend HDD. It only takes 11 seconds to/from a very old USB2 Buffalo HDD. It would probably transfer faster via a rear USB port but I don't understand why the Sandisk SSD is that slow compared with the Transcend. It is a bit tedious making large transfers, taking a whopping 60% longer than the Transcend HDD that I HAD hoped it would replace. Copying to/from USB 'C' on my i5 Surface-Pro is a bit quicker BUT it takes a few seconds saying, 'Preparing to transfer' so a single album transfer is even slower. 2. It is so small that it is very easy to forget where I left it ;) ADVANTAGES: 1. Small & easily pocketable - about the size of a Weetabix but half the thickness. 2. Robust - I think. 3. Fast enough - for most purposes. 4. Light - 58g. A qualified recommendation! UPDATE: I have now found that transfer speed is MUCH faster if you use the very short cable that is provided with the device. Unfortunately it is difficult to use that with my set-up. I still don't know why the Transcend HDD is so much faster than the Sandisk SSD with a 1 metre, high quality cable. What is so special about the very short Sandisk cable? What it does reveal is that there are genuine differences between digital cables. You often read claims that it is not worth buying expensive digital cables but in this instance there is a BIG difference. Is that purely to do with the length of the cable? I doubt it. Electrons travel along a 1m cable in an almost un-measurable time. Although originally a sceptic, have long recognised that hifi interconnect and speaker cables really can make a difference to the sound. I am interested to learn that digital cables are also significantly different.

The first one I got arrived looking fine, but after writing to it for a little bit of time the front popped off around the bottom of the casing between the front pannel and the rubber bumper. (See picture). You could see the inside of it quite clearly if you didn't press it back into place, but it'd pop again after a few minutes, slowly opening up again. After describing this fault to Amazon, they issued a replacement and I sent this one back - after wiping it completely. I put it down to being a defective unit. Does happen sometimes, nothing is perfect. The replacement arrived and I started playing around with it. It came formatted with ExFAT, as well, so be aware, if your device doesn't support ExFAT, you just need to format it to something that can read it. I got speeds faster than advertised, 1086MBps read (vs 1050MBps advertised) and 1038MBps write (vs 1000MBps advertised). There was 1.81TiB of usable space on the 2TB version I purchased, which is absolutely expected and not false advertising as some of the comments suggest. (A quick note to those people, a TB is not the same as a TiB. The 2TB version is 2TB, which is ~1.81TiB, what it shows in the OS, albeit falsely labeled in Windows). The leaflet suggests I can update the firmware on it, and should do that when I get it, however I am unable to find anything on the website about this and I assume it should be fine. It says it has hardware encryption capabilities, which uses the software provided but I never trust that stuff. I just formatted it to EXT4 in Linux (My OS of choice) and used Veracrypt, which you can use in Windows (and MacOS, I think), to encrypt my drive with FDE (Full Disk Encryption). The drive is extremely responsive and I was able to fill it up with my files, and was able to read them all afterwards. It should be noted that whilst the first one got hot during operations, the second one seemed to run quite cool. I'm not sure why this is and I'm not going to complain either. It seems to be quite solidly built and I do recommend it if you want to store lots of things, but it may be more expensive than a hard drive or the equivalent in M.2/NVMe. I got mine during Prime Day so it was quite cheap. All in all I highly recommend it. It's a solid drive and time will tell if it's reliable. I will update this after a year or so. Edit: Nearly two years later and it's still going strong. Massive thumbs up for that. Upgrading to 5/5.

Take this everywhere I go and it works with everything. Easy to install and took no time to format. Good value. Get good speeds on transfers.

I have been using it for about two months now and I can say that it works very well. It is super fast, and so far I had no problem at all.

The SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD is incredible! It’s blazing fast with read/write speeds up to 1050MB/s, making file transfers a breeze. I love how compact and rugged it is-IP65 water and dust resistance gives me confidence to take it anywhere. Perfect for photographers, gamers, or anyone needing reliable portable storage. Worth every penny!

TOP Verarbeitung. Stabiles Gehäuse. Sie ist von den Abmessungen her so groß wie eine Packung Tempos. Neben dem kurzen Kabel USB-C auf USB- C ist auch noch ein Adapter USB-C auf USB-A dabei. Die anderen Details wurden schon in anderen Rezensionen genannt. Deshalb erspare ich mir eine ausführliche Rezension. Auf jeden Fall eine Kaufempfehlung von mir !! Update 15.01.2025 Inzwischen habe ich 3 Stück dkeser SSD. Eine davon dient als Time Machine für mein Macbook Air.

Works great ! Love how compact it is. Speed is great.

This is SSD is insanely fast provided you connect it using a USB-C cable and is very compact for an 8TB capacity it's insane! It is very reliable coming from a well known brand such as SanDisk.

Comprei pela necessidade de ter um armazenamento extra em um computador que tem somente 512 gigas, ele é perfeito, pequeno e leve, além de ser muito rápido na escrita e na gravação.
