IPEC 60529 IP 55: Tested to withstand water flow (30 kPa) at 3 min; Limited dust contact does not interfere with the operation. Must be clean and dry before use. Durable, fast, and dependable—great for both daily use and emergency backups If you're someone who tends to knock things around, drop them, or lose stuff under the couch, this drive holds up surprisingly well. I’ve kept mine plugged in constantly for things like File History and versioned backups, and it hasn’t overheated or caused any issues, even after long stretches of use. It’s great if you regularly move, copy, or delete large files. Transfers between computers are fast, and it’s spacious enough to toss everything on without worrying about space or speed. It's especially handy for storing photos and videos—there's plenty of room, and moving them around is quick and easy. This also makes a great "emergency" drive. You can load it with critical files—photos, documents, medical history, bank records, anything you absolutely can’t afford to lose—and just stash it somewhere safe. If you ever need to leave in a hurry or your main system fails, you can just grab it and go. It’s basically a digital safe for your most important stuff. This might be overkill for use as a simple backup drive, but if you find it for a great price, then go ahead. I picked up the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD as an upgrade from my older external hard drives, and it’s easily one of the best storage devices I’ve used. 

The speed difference alone makes it worth it—transfers that used to take minutes on my traditional hard drives now finish in seconds. Large files, videos, photos, and backups move incredibly fast with no lag or stuttering. The size is another huge win. It’s unbelievably compact—smaller than most phones and light enough to clip onto a backpack or keep in a pocket without even noticing it’s there. Despite the small size, it feels durable and solid, with a rugged rubberized exterior that helps protect it from drops and everyday wear. Compared to traditional hard drives, there’s no spinning disk, no noise, and no worrying about bumps causing damage. It stays cool during most normal use and has been extremely reliable so far. I use it for work files, media storage, and backups, and it has handled everything without a single issue.

A few small caveats worth mentioning:
• It can get a little warm during long or heavy file transfers (not dangerously hot, just warm to the touch).
• To get the full advertised speed, you need a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2. On older ports, it will still work fine but will be slower.
• Like most SSDs, it’s pricier than traditional external hard drives, but the speed and portability make the difference worth it.
• The included cable is on the shorter side, so you might want a longer one depending on your setup.

Overall, this SanDisk Extreme SSD is a huge step up from regular external drives—faster, smaller, tougher, and much more convenient. If you need a dependable portable drive with great performance, this one is absolutely worth it.
