SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO Portable External SSD - Up to 1050MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.1 - SDSSDE80-1T00-A25

This is a good product

Love this little external drive and plan on getting another one. This was thing is fast and reliable, love the portability of this drive and take it with me anywhere.

I really want to like this SSD... it feels very nice when you hold it, the appearance and size is perfect for a portable SSD. However it crushed constantly while writing...it crushed itself and it also crushed the laptop. I brought it twice from Bestbuy and from Amazon. They both act the same way, and end up returning both. Maybe it’s my Alienware laptop, or the SSD itself I’m not sure. The Samsung SSD I brought later works fine tho. Just a head up to Alienware users... it might not work for you.

Ive purchased both the Extreme and Extreme Pro variant of this drive, and somehow the regular (and cheaper) Extreme version is double the speed of this one. Yes, its definitely a Pro that I received (has the orange metal band, says Pro on the back). It states that the 500gb Pro has a max read speed of 1000Mb/s, yet Im getting a slow 388mb/s. In comparison, my 1TB Extreme is getting around 750-800Mb/s. The drives were purchased only about a month apart, so I doubt its due to advancements in technology.

If I would have know this had drivers installed from 2006 I would have never bought this item. New drivers are also not supported by Western Digital which voids any warranty they offer if you update divers for Windows 10. This is disappointing.

I really like the portability.

Great portable SSD. Runs as fast as described.

Worked like the best external hard drive i ever had until it crashed on my computer. Both MacBook and SSD are six months old. SSD froze crashed computer and never recovered or was recognized by laptop. Troubleshot with apple, no luck. Sandisk software also didnt help....they are replacing it but Ive lost all of my photos and videos for the last 6 months and Im a professional photographer.

This drive has been working perfectly for me and the speed has been impressive for a usb drive.

Very fast and reliable storage. Used as external boot disk with MacOS.
