I've been a loyal customer of SanDisk for quite some time now, and the SanDisk Extreme 2TB portable NVMe SSD continues to impress me with its exceptional performance and reliability. This is actually my third purchase of this fantastic device, and I felt compelled to share my positive experience.First and foremost, the speed of this SSD is simply mind-blowing. With read speeds of up to 1050MB/s and write speeds of 1000MB/s, it's like having a turbocharger for my data transfers. Whether I'm transferring large video files or working on intensive photo editing tasks in Lightroom, this SSD handles everything with ease. It significantly reduces the time I spend waiting for files to load or transfer, making my workflow smoother and more efficient.The durability of this SSD is another standout feature. Its water and dust-resistant design give me peace of mind when I'm on the go. I can confidently take it with me on outdoor shoots or in less-than-ideal conditions without worrying about data loss. SanDisk has truly built a device that can withstand the rigors of real-world use.Moreover, the sleek black design of this SSD is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in my bag or pocket. The USB-C connectivity ensures fast and hassle-free connections with my various devices.What I appreciate most about the SanDisk Extreme 2TB portable NVMe SSD is its excellent value for money. SanDisk consistently delivers top-notch performance and durability at a price that won't break the bank. In fact, I've made it a yearly tradition to upgrade to a new one because the improvements are always worth it.

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.

I’ve been using the SanDisk SSD’s for a while now with Blackmagic Designs 6K and 6K Pro Cinema Cameras. They’ve performed flawlessly on every shoot so far. I always shoot BRAW these days and though I’ll rarely shoot at 3:1 compression, I tend to shoot all my interviews at 6K with 5:1 compression. I’ve never had a dropped frame, never had a drive fail (other brands I’ve used have hit these problems after a few hours operation) and the transfer speeds are superb. They’re even thin enough to fit inside the SSD compartment on the SmallRig 6KPro cage. Though they do rattle about. Maybe add a little padding to hold it in place. All in all, I’d highly recommend these as part of your Blackmagic camera kit.

Big enough to support multiple backups of all my data and small (tiny) enough to tuck into a drawer by my computer. Being solid state, it's silent. Runs flawlessly off my USB 3 port though (perhaps because of small file sizes) it seldom reaches the stated (up to) 800MB/s. It is fast enough to satisfy my needs.

This SanDisk 2TB SSD is like a tiny vault for all my important files – small enough to slip into my pocket but tough enough to survive the apocalypse (or at least a bit of dust and drizzle). The read and write speeds are good, nothing not super fast but does the job.I use it mainly for backups, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my files are safer than a samosa in my hands. It’s sturdy, reliable, and ready for anything – a cracking bit of kit that does exactly what it says on the tin.

Excellent product, compact as required and consistent connectivity. Zero noise and fab for backing up. Getting a second one shortly. Bought a separate case for it (padded), this helps to keep it safe and dry.

High-speed portable ssd in a conveniently small size. Absaloutley delivers on speed promised. Comes with short usb C to usb C cable, and an adaptor for type A to C, you'll find best performance when using a usb c port on your computer. However, this drive is backwards compatible. Plug and play, no need for any software, unless you wish to encrypt the drive with a password.As its solid state it is silent. The drive can get warm when transferring large amounts of data, but otherwise remains one of the fastest options for transferring large files, or data sets.
