BEST SELLERS

In External SSDs

It adds plenty of space for more games on my Xbox series S.

Very easy to install. Nice and fast, also.

It's an SSD, it's small and lightweight, holds my data and hasn't had any problems so far. Samsung storage has rarely failed me.

I got a great deal on this because it was on sale. I needed big portable storage. I had another 2TB thumb drive, but when my laptop fell it nearly broke off the plug. I'd been using an extender with multiple sockets to avoid that, but this was way better. The yellow loop comes off, and then one end goes in the drive and the other in the USB-C port. Connections are firm. It feels extremely durable--metal casing and no projecting or moving parts to break or wear out. I feel like I could drive over it and it would still be OK. I can't speak technically about speed, but it's plenty fast for me. The little light at the end is always flashing colors while it's plugged in!

Plog to my Mac. Formatted gor TimeMachine. No problems.

An interesting package addressed to me appears at my door once or twice a month. I have no idea what is in the package until I open it and fortunately then I remember ordering the item. Something different happened to me a few days ago. I cut open a mystery padded envelope and found a wee SanDisk portable SSD. I was further delighted when I noticed the drive had a massive one Terabyte capacity. It was less than half the size and a fraction of the weight of a mechanical external USB drive thanks to its M.2 SSD. Cool, I thought; I guessed I might have ordered this late at night and forgotten about it. I soon realized my mystery package was a SanDisk SSD External drive I had volunteered to test for Newegg. YES! I plugged the SSD into my tower using the provided USB-C (external drive end) to the USB Type-A (backward compatible to any standard USB port.) It was instantly recognized. I copied a 2 Gb file from my tower internal SSD to the SanDisk portable SSD external drive, to test the real-world speed of the drive. Compared to the advertised up to 500 MB per second it transferred data at about 120 MB per second, which was about 3X faster than copying the same data to my older external mechanical Samsung external drive. This was a little slower than I anticipated since SSDs generally run from 4 to 10 times faster than a mechanical drive. I should note that my towers USB is the older 3.1 version, which Im sure was a factor. I suspect my disappointment with the speed of data transferred is the result of USB C to USB A cable. Since I do not have a newer USB C to USB C cable, I could not test that transfer speed. The Vault (see the photos) The Samsung external SSD M.2 drive comes with an ingenious encryption scheme they call PrivateAccess with the encrypting software installed on the drive itself. This software will ONLY run off the external drive, further increasing the security of the device. Transferring data to the external drive is a drag and drop procedure, using the drives built-in encryption software. There is no back door into the vault; as you would expect, if you forget your password. The data in the vault is gone forever.

Fast enough for large file transfers, premium feel, compact. Come with a magnetic ring to support older generation phones.

Very happy. I will transfer all the movies and videos I recorded to this drive. It has a USB C to USB A cable and a USB C to USB C cable. The USB C connector on my XPS PC is faster than USB A.

Very Portable storage. Millions of pictures and all my records fit in a pocket.

I did a full Windows 11 backup and noticed it was a little warmer than most SSDs but it was pretty fast.. If it lasts then I'll be a happy buyer.

It's just a good device to back up files, I added the USB-C-to-USB to connect it to my computer, and it's a modern equivalent to the external hard drive, but very compact and efficient.

I used the other brands before, they are pretty much the same. But this brand is cheaper. Why pay more? If you can have it for a better price.
