    Okay but performance not great and somewhat erratic
    I use this for backups of large photo and video files. It seems to work fairly well for that, but not nearly as well as my other backup device which is a Crucial X9 Pro (with the same 2TB capacity).I tested the comparative write speeds by copying a chosen folder on the internal SSD of my fairly fast Windows PC to each external drive in turn. In a competely like-for-like comparison the Sandisk Extreme had a time-varying write speed which settled at a somewhat choppy ~370 MB/s (first picture). In contrast, the Crucial X9 Pro had a more steady transfer rate of ~550 MB/s (second picture - I just happened to do that screen-grab when it had momentarily dipped to 522 MB/s).So, the sustained write speed of the Crucial X9 Pro appears to be about half as fast again as the Sandisk Extreme. In all other respects the Sandisk and Crucial are broadly similar, although the latter is somewhat smaller physically. I deliberately chose two different drives as my backup devices, so that any issues which affected some/all instances of a given model wouldn't impact both of my backup copies. If I had to buy only one, I would choose the Crucial X9 Pro over the Sandisk Extreme.

    Colour: Black ExtremeCapacity: 2TBStyle Name: Portable 1050MB/sVerified Purchase
    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.

    Colour: Black ExtremeCapacity: 1TBStyle Name: Portable 1050MB/sVerified Purchase
    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.

    Not sure why I am still being asked to review these - bought many (and the slightly faster version) over the past several years, use them for mission-critical backup and also on-line extra "disk" space, and they ust WORK - and FAST - and RELIABLY.

    Seriously the various SanDisk SSD offering are the best available. Need more storage? Just GET THIS!

    Needing to back up a huge number of photo files at work I chose the Sandisk. It came with a secure USBc to USB lead. No need to format it just plug in and download. I chose not to install the security software which came on it without any problems. Small enough to lose it so a case might be a good idea for the future.

    NÃO IMAGINAVA QUE UM HD SSD TÃO COMPACTO E LEVE VC TÃO BOM. BEM RÁPIDO PARA GUARDAR ARQUIVOS, MAS ÓBVIO QUE SEU NOTE OU PC JÁ DEVE TER ENTRADAS USBs QUE SUPORTEM A VELOCIDADE DO HD EXTERNO EM QUESTÃO, SENÃO VC NÃO NOTARÁ TANTO A DIFERENÇA.
