Great speeds for transferring large files Compact design


Awesome prize....and good service by newegg...delivery on time.


I got this drive for my iphone and my pc backup. Very, very fast and easy to do.

Small, fast, reliable product

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.

Very fast backup of my Mac Mini. What once took the better of an hour using an external hard drive now takes minutes.





Samsung has always been a favourite of mine and for a great reasons. Quality with speed too.


-Shipped very quickly -Arrived in perfect shape -Plug and play function -USB C connection was easy and fast -Received tons of files in short order and ate it right up


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.
