Review: 🔥 Blazing Fast, Ultra-Compact, and Totally Worth It! - I absolutely loved my purchase! Exceeded my expectations from the very first use. The storage capacity of 1TB is perfect for anyone who needs extra space for large files, backups, photos, and videos without constantly worrying about running out of room. The performance is outstanding. File transfers take just seconds and, even under heavy workloads, the noise level is non-existent — completely silent, which I really appreciate. Another big plus is the compatibility. It worked flawlessly with my devices using USB-C, with no setup or additional software required. Just plug and play. The design truly stands out. It’s very small, exactly as shown in the photo, making it extremely portable and easy to carry in a bag or backpack. The fit in my hand feels great and gives a strong sense of durability and premium quality. Considering the speed, portability, build quality, and brand reliability, this SSD offers excellent value for money. It’s fast, compact, durable, and incredibly efficient. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful external SSD that delivers performance and convenience in a small package. An excellent choice! 🚀💯
Review: Fast, reliable, and perfect for backing up photos and video - I’ve been using the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD (1TB) to back up photos and video, and it’s been one of the most useful pieces of gear in my kit. Transfer speeds are genuinely fast, so moving large batches of RAW files or video clips takes minutes instead of forever. Drives in this line are rated around 1000–1050 MB/s read and ~1000 MB/s write, which makes a noticeable difference when working on tight timelines. ￼ The size and build are a big plus. It’s small enough to keep in a pocket or camera bag, and the rubberized shell feels rugged. These drives are designed with water and dust resistance and drop protection, which gives some peace of mind when traveling or shooting outdoors. ￼ Setup is simple with USB-C, and the included cable and adapter make it easy to use with both newer laptops and older USB-A ports. I’ve used it for everything from field backups to editing directly off the drive, and it’s been consistently reliable. If there’s one small downside, it’s that like most compact SSDs, it can get slightly warm during long transfers, but nothing concerning. Overall, it’s a great portable SSD, especially for photographers, videographers, or anyone who moves large files regularly. Fast, durable, and easy to carry, which is exactly what you want in a travel drive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much faster is this than an external HDD?**
A: With an SSD over HDD, you're obviously paying for the increase in speed. Nobody actually answered your question of "how much faster." Even though it's been over a year now, maybe it will help someone else. A typical portable HDD speed seems to be about 120 Mbps, whereas this drive claims 1,050 MBps read and 1,000 write. So about 8 or 9 times faster.

Also, it is pretty fast relative to other portable SSDs. 1 GBps seems to be about the standard right now for drives in this price range. The T7 quotes the same speed, from what I can tell. Definitely not "3-4x" faster. The X5 quotes twice the speed (at twice the price).

**Q: How to get the full 1000 mb/s? only getting about 800 mb/s write and 700 mb/s read. plugged directly into a macbook air m1 (2020). blackmagic test**
A: The numbers quoted are for the raw data rate - how fast the drive can accept bits.  You will never see this in real life.  Some factors affecting real-world performance include:

* File system overhead.  Your file system (whether FAT, NTFS, HFS, APFS, ext or anything else) has overhead.  This overhad consumes bandwidth, but you won't see it in a benchmark that only measures the data used by your files.
* Your testing application may not be getting enough CPU cycles or USB bandwidth to be able to push data at the device's maximum speed.  Testing labs use a computer with a specialized operating system that can ensure sufficient bandwidth, but an app running on a normal operating system can't make such a guarantee.

**Q: It's not showing up on my ntfs for mac but is in finder. also keeps asking me to authenticate in order to do anything with it?**
A: Ntsf is a windows format. A Mac will not write to it natively. You will need to get 3rd party software like Paragon or another to fully work with a ntsf formatted hard drive on a Mac. Format it to apfs if it is only going to be used on a Mac or buy ntfs for Mac software if you need to go back and forth.

**Q: Can I use this as an additional storage *continuously* connected to my mac?  any overuse or overheat issues?**
A: Since my poor MacBook Pro 2016 has gotten slower because I refuse to update the OS (because I know what would happen), I started using my 2TB 1050mbps SSD Sandisc external drive for my heavy video editing and music production projects and it flies without any problem. I would say though that it is true that at some point it gets quite hot but nothing’s affected it’s performance. My advise is just connect it when you need it and that’s it. I love this little friend!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Solid Option
*by D***D on February 11, 2026*

This seems to work pretty well. I don't have much to compare it to, since my last external drive was a disk drive, but it transfers data relatively fast and I like the password protection feature that comes with it. I haven't tested the limits of the storage, but I have used it right after it was in the cold (about 15°F) and it worked well. It's also a nice compact size, but not so small that it can get lost easy. Overall, I think this is a solid option for external storage. I bought a case for it separately, and it gives me some additional peace of mind that it won't be damaged, so I would recommend buyers do that, too. Is it worth the price? So far, so good. I'll definitively say yes if it's still working well in eight years or so (that's how long my old external disk drive is and it still functions well).
