Desk Drive SSD 8TB, Up to 1000MB/s Read Speeds

A great fast and easy-to-use SSD high-capacity drive! This drive is perfect for all my photo libraries. It is small enough to sit on my desk without taking up much room. It does get hot, which is perfectly normal and not a problem. It is so much better than some of my previous WD drives, which would take ages to mount on the desktop. It is expensive, but I would say very good value for money, especially if you need a good, solid, reliable system.

Effective and, as expected of an SSD, completely silent in operation. Can get warm when accessed but this has not been a problem. I reformatted mine on arrival to APFS (Apple File System), and it works perfectly – a step not to be taken if compatibility with Windows is required.

Great external SSD. Fast and reliable

Great device, looks really nice on the desk. Not cheap but worth it for reliable storage. Comes with a USB lead and power supply so you can promptly get started up. During operation it does get very hot to the touch but from other reviews this seems quite normal.

Though it now works fine - I did at first think I had a defective item. Mainly because of the lack of written instructions supplied. A small leaflet shows how to plug it in to computer and a wall socket. It does not say on the leaflet or on the product description before purchase that the item should be plugged directly into a wall socket and not a power strip. Initially I plugged it into a power strip fed by an uninteruptable power supply and it just did not work. Unless I unplugged the unit and then plugged it back in. Eventually after delving arround on the SanDisk site I found I out that it should be plugged in directly. Additionally I also discovered that I had to let my Dell XPS Desktop fully boot and load all start up programs before switching the device on. Then it is recognised and works fine. It is a bit disappointing to find these issues after purchase as I might have looked to an alternative product as I have never had any issues with external drives before though this is my first external SSD.

Not cheap but it’s relatively compact and portable. Ideal for my MacBook Pro photo library.

A terrific SSD for my iMac. Works silently in the background keep all my documents and photographs up to date. Very good value for money.

I never leave reviews but I feel I have to stop anyone else from wasting their money. If you plan to use this with Macs of any kind say away because this ExSSD disappears all the time. Sometimes it would work but then a lot of the time it wouldn't show up. I used the USB C and A connections and neither would work when it did this. After safely unplugging from one Mac studio and then plugging into a MacBook Pro it will not show up at all. Plugging it back in to the original computer and it still will not show. Disk utility can't find it either. The drive was formatted correctly for Macs. For £600+ don't bother getting this as most of the time it's effectively a paper weight.

Utmärkt och snabb, har nu övergått till att använda den som huvud backup med Samsung T9 4tb som arbets disk

This SSD drive works seamlessly and great. The whole process manageable of backing up data is ultra fast in mentioned write speed proceeded quickly, efficiently, accurately as well in excellent results! Thanks Amazon

Zowel de levering en het product zelf zijn perfect. Beter is nu niet te benoemen!

Fait bien son travail. Rapide et reste discret sur le bureau. A conseiller sans réserve.

Davvero utile, lo lascio sempre collegato al PC e fa bene il suo lavoro, surriscalda ma non in modo eccessivo o preoccupante
