Highlights
Quality
I loved this hdd it is very fast, has thunderbolt and usb-c connectivity and it pretty solid.
So far, over a period of years, these sandisk drives have been solid and reliable which is all that i ask.
All of my other drives have metal feet that let them stack with air circulation.
The only reason i don't give these a higher portability rating is because they are not bus powered (i would not expect them to be).
Price
Seems a bit costly, but i have been blessed to have the $ resource to be able to have made the jump to purchase it.
Shipping
My only issue was that it wasn’t shipped inside a brown cardboard box over the product box.

You have to relocate the feet and rip off a warranty sticker to put a new drive in there and the new drive ideally will have metal studs added to the sides to ride in the rubber cushions included
