Title: Perfect for Photo Storage and EditingâIncredibly Fast!
Review: This SSD is a game-changer! I use it to store all my photos and work directly from Lightroom, and it feels just as fast as working with photos stored on my laptop. Seriously, the speed is unreal. It's super light and portable, making it easy to take anywhere, and itâs built tough, so I don't have to worry about it getting knocked around. Works seamlessly with my Macâno issues at all. Did I mention how fast it is? If you need speed, reliability, and portability for your photo storage, this is the one! Plus, the water and dust resistance is a great extra!

Title: ðððð Fast, Reliable, and Portable Storage Solution!
Review: The SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable SSD is an excellent choice for anyone needing high-speed, reliable storage. With transfer speeds of up to 1050MB/s, itâs perfect for quickly backing up large files or editing high-resolution videos on the go. The USB-C compatibility and compact design make it ultra-portable, while the durable build ensures it can withstand bumps and drops. Highly recommend for photographers, videographers, and anyone in need of fast, secure storage! I'm using it to back up my MacBook Pro with Timemachine.

Title: Incredible speed and durability
Review: Love this external ssd, very fast and helps store my photos for my photo and video work I do. I love how compact it is and it's incredible speed along with it's durable construction. Though sadly after I exposed the cable to a bit of moisture it immediately broke and caused corrosion inside the cable (thankfully not the actual SSD). I did end up buying a new cable that was way faster than the factory one and I WILL RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO BUY A FAST 10GP cable it is so worth it since it made my read and writes increase by 300mb transfer.Overall love this external drive very helpful but please buy a fast data transfer cable for it to use it at it's fullest.

Title: Good for back-up, plays well my Time Machine on my iMac
Review: After many years of use, my back-up hard drive started getting noisier and I figured its end was near. I decided to go with a solid-state device, and this one seemed to fit the bill. It works very well with Time Machine on my iMac, and the data transfer rate is very fast. Even though I don't need to transport it, the small size means less clutter on my desk, and since it's solid-state, there's one fewer electrical connection to deal with.

Title: Incredibly fast and easy to use
Review: Set up like a hard drive on your computer, instantly available, can be used as a back up or an additional drive, very fast, very reliable.. At home, I use it plugged into a hub, but when I travel, Iâll unplug it from the hub and plug it directly into my laptop and it works exactly the same way.. I highly recommend it. Itâs terrific.!
