SanDisk Portable SSD 2TB, Up to 800MB/s Read Speeds, Older model, Black

Good SSD replacement for a failing external HDD, which I need for backups from my computer. Easy to set up, format and it is doing the job.

2tb ssd I bought this to go alongside my Mac mini and it’s been flawless for storing videos and pictures! Great value

When the Fusion Drive in our iMac broke down, I decided to try the 2TB version of this to rescue the situation. In a computer that's near impossible to open or refit the drive in, this was a silly idea of Apple's, I'll bet these Fusion drives all fail early. So bought this SSD USB drive in desperation to see if an iMac could even run with it as boot disk. Once the tribulations of the Mac OS install were done it turned out to work. A bit slow to boot up but once loaded, this 16 GB RAM iMac runs as fast in practice as with the internal disk. So far its been reliable in a year of ownership but I keep a Time Machine backup up to date (on a traditional non-SSD external drive) just in case.

The SanDisk 2TB portable hard drive is exactly what I needed for storing and backing up large amounts of data without compromising on speed or portability. With a USB-C interface and USB connectivity, transferring files is fast and efficient, even with high-resolution photos and videos. What really stands out is the build quality. It’s compact with a 2.5-inch form factor, and the rugged rubber hook is a thoughtful addition—perfect for clipping onto a backpack or belt loop when I’m on the move. This is especially useful for travel or outdoor shoots, offering peace of mind that my data is both secure and within reach.

The product itself if is well made and works well. No noise, lightweight, small, easy to use. My only issue is I had paid for a 2 TB drive and I've been given 1.8 therefore I am missing 200gb of storage which is alot. I understand storage devices require a bit of storage to be able to run but to be missing 200 gb? A bit excessive.

I have an existing external USB disk which is a Samsung Evo SSD in a SATA caddy and sustained write rate with that is 350 MB/s. This new SanDisk SSD however only achieves 200 MB/s. So, I would say that unless the portability is important you’re better off buying a SATA SSD and a caddy and doing it that way. I will be keeping this drive - it will be useful for backups and ISOs and so on - but I’ll be “replacing” it for my main use which is VirtualBox VMs.

This basically a glorified flash drive. If you prefer your hard drive to run red-hot and be much slower than a mechanical hard drive, then this is the device for you. I did a quick format on this drive, which should hsve taken seconds. Instead it hung my xps15 9530 laptop forcing a hard shutdown and recovery. Amazon askrd me if I wanted to troubleshoot the device myself, but, after that, I wasn't keen.

----UPDATE--- After one month and a few days, the drive has completely died. Great if you use the included usbc to usba cord. Usbc to usbc on macos at least was slow as ... But with an adapter and the included cord was decent

嵩張らないし、転送速度も速いと思うので、満足しています。

Erg goede kwaliteit

San brand has been reliable for as long as I have used them ,,,,,,,,,, 20+ years now. At 2TB you need to be sure. Anyhow, always good practice to have Back ups.
