Quality


I’ve been using this for games and am really happy with the quality.


The solid-state drive, desk drive, delivers exceptional speed and performance.


Immediately reformatted for apfs and transferred close to 4tb of data from my raid.


It's also not a smart device, it's strictly external solid state mass storage.

Price


This external ssd is definitely on the pricey side, but it offers impressive download and upload speeds in a compact case.


At the time of this review, this drive was priced at $379.


99 for the 4tb version and $699.


Despite its high cost, you're getting very high performance.

Packaging/appearance


Upon opening the box, i was impressed with the simplicity and durable external drive.

Competitiveness


While i would like it to be less expensive, i think from a reputable company like sandisk, i am paying for a quality memory device.

    Addressing the elephant in the room this external requires its own power supply it cannot simply run off of being connected to a computer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As uncommon as that is today you should know it before purchasing and if that’s a deal breaker then you need a different external device


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For me the only limitation is bringing this drive in the field or maybe using it at an airport which i personally wouldn’t do anyway


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It’s not inconvenient to bring it from home to the office or using it in a hotel and even a lot of coffee shops have plugs near tables today


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do not do any video work so i cannot speak to how well it would perform but i would expect very well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For a “portable” ssd it is on the chunky side definitely not pocketable but when sitting on my desk or a hotel bedside table i wouldn’t consider it oversized or inconvenient


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I do think it is a bit too pricey but currently the options for an 8tb external ssd are limited
