Review: 3rd Purchase. Never misses a beat. - I've been a loyal customer of SanDisk for quite some time now, and the SanDisk Extreme 2TB portable NVMe SSD continues to impress me with its exceptional performance and reliability. This is actually my third purchase of this fantastic device, and I felt compelled to share my positive experience. First and foremost, the speed of this SSD is simply mind-blowing. With read speeds of up to 1050MB/s and write speeds of 1000MB/s, it's like having a turbocharger for my data transfers. Whether I'm transferring large video files or working on intensive photo editing tasks in Lightroom, this SSD handles everything with ease. It significantly reduces the time I spend waiting for files to load or transfer, making my workflow smoother and more efficient. The durability of this SSD is another standout feature. Its water and dust-resistant design give me peace of mind when I'm on the go. I can confidently take it with me on outdoor shoots or in less-than-ideal conditions without worrying about data loss. SanDisk has truly built a device that can withstand the rigors of real-world use. Moreover, the sleek black design of this SSD is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry in my bag or pocket. The USB-C connectivity ensures fast and hassle-free connections with my various devices. What I appreciate most about the SanDisk Extreme 2TB portable NVMe SSD is its excellent value for money. SanDisk consistently delivers top-notch performance and durability at a price that won't break the bank. In fact, I've made it a yearly tradition to upgrade to a new one because the improvements are always worth it.
Review: First one faulty, second one faultless - The first one I got arrived looking fine, but after writing to it for a little bit of time the front popped off around the bottom of the casing between the front pannel and the rubber bumper. (See picture). You could see the inside of it quite clearly if you didn't press it back into place, but it'd pop again after a few minutes, slowly opening up again. After describing this fault to desertcart, they issued a replacement and I sent this one back - after wiping it completely. I put it down to being a defective unit. Does happen sometimes, nothing is perfect. The replacement arrived and I started playing around with it. It came formatted with ExFAT, as well, so be aware, if your device doesn't support ExFAT, you just need to format it to something that can read it. I got speeds faster than advertised, 1086MBps read (vs 1050MBps advertised) and 1038MBps write (vs 1000MBps advertised). There was 1.81TiB of usable space on the 2TB version I purchased, which is absolutely expected and not false advertising as some of the comments suggest. (A quick note to those people, a TB is not the same as a TiB. The 2TB version is 2TB, which is ~1.81TiB, what it shows in the OS, albeit falsely labeled in Windows). The leaflet suggests I can update the firmware on it, and should do that when I get it, however I am unable to find anything on the website about this and I assume it should be fine. It says it has hardware encryption capabilities, which uses the software provided but I never trust that stuff. I just formatted it to EXT4 in Linux (My OS of choice) and used Veracrypt, which you can use in Windows (and MacOS, I think), to encrypt my drive with FDE (Full Disk Encryption). The drive is extremely responsive and I was able to fill it up with my files, and was able to read them all afterwards. It should be noted that whilst the first one got hot during operations, the second one seemed to run quite cool. I'm not sure why this is and I'm not going to complain either. It seems to be quite solidly built and I do recommend it if you want to store lots of things, but it may be more expensive than a hard drive or the equivalent in M.2/NVMe. I got mine during Prime Day so it was quite cheap. All in all I highly recommend it. It's a solid drive and time will tell if it's reliable. I will update this after a year or so. Edit: Nearly two years later and it's still going strong. Massive thumbs up for that. Upgrading to 5/5.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, Fast & Travel-Friendly – Great External SSD!
*by J***N on 24 April 2025*

I’ve been using this 1TB SSD to back up all my travel photos and videos, and it’s been absolutely perfect. The transfer speed is super fast, which makes it easy to offload everything quickly after a trip. It’s really compact and doesn’t take up any space in my bag, which is great when I’m on the move. I’ve accidentally dropped it a few times, and it’s held up without any issues—super durable! If you’re looking for a reliable and fast external hard drive for backing up photos and videos, especially while traveling, I’d definitely recommend this one.
