Physical dimensions are tiny, no taller than a standard pen, as wide as two of my fingers put together. Enclosure is light, made from a hard plastic. Included cable appears to be a standard 1 foot long USB-A to USB-C cable. Actual drive size is expected, reading as 1.8 terabytes in Windows 11. CrystalDisk results posted below, connected to a USB 3.1 port directly into motherboard. Will update with any additional information/issues as I use. So far, exactly as advertised.------------------------------------------------------------------------------CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 x64 (C) 2007-2021 hiyohiyoCrystal Dew World: https://crystalmark.info/------------------------------------------------------------------------------* MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s [SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s]* KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes[Read]SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 564.254 MB/s [ 538.1 IOPS] < 14830.53 us>SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 494.511 MB/s [ 471.6 IOPS] < 2118.86 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 122.299 MB/s [ 29858.2 IOPS] < 1069.12 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 19.233 MB/s [ 4695.6 IOPS] < 212.66 us>[Write]SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 501.601 MB/s [ 478.4 IOPS] < 16659.14 us>SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 447.585 MB/s [ 426.9 IOPS] < 2339.82 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 103.196 MB/s [ 25194.3 IOPS] < 1265.34 us>RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 29.733 MB/s [ 7259.0 IOPS] < 137.44 us>Profile: DefaultTest: 1 GiB (x5) [F: 0% (0/1863GiB)]Mode: [Admin]Time: Measure 5 sec / Interval 5 secDate: 2023/02/09 18:28:32OS: Windows 11 Professional [10.0 Build 22621] (x64)

The media could not be loaded. This is a nice little external storage drive. High capacity, smaller and lighter than a smart phone. Seems well constructed and able to survive drops Works right out of the box. I use it to back up projects and store digital plug ins for my digital audio workstation.

The SanDisk 1TB Portable SSD has been an invaluable addition to my digital toolkit, offering blazing-fast speed, ample storage capacity, and rugged durability in a compact form factor. This SSD is perfect for users who need reliable and high-speed storage for their work, media, and gaming needs.

This, to me, is by far the best external or portable SSD out there as of now. I have tried many others and they either break down on me in a short period or they are just flimsy and made of cheap materials. This product is sturdy and robust and I have dropped it many times and it keeps ticking. I am glad that SanDisk decided to make a line of external SS drives that are catered to rough and "clumsy people" like myself since I am always on the go and this item gives me the confidence that I would not lose anything data or that it would just spontaneously break down on me like some others I have had. The built is SOLD and it doesn't feel delicate like the other external SSDs I have had. So far, I have purchased 5 of these SSDs from SanDisk (beginning 6 years ago) - and so far so good!

It's an external ssd. It's portable. Transfer speeds depends on your device. It's quick when your device is quick. If not, then it's not. Smaller than i was expecting. About as small as my T5 or T7 Touch. But it's small enough that it can fit in your pocket and you'll forget it's there. It's plasticky so don't be dropping it left and right. But it's light. And it works. What more do you need? I don't know if it's encryption-capable. Haven't tried nor will i ever. It's not going to be used for any stolen classified information. Those i keep in my spare bathroom.

Prducto de muy buena calidad lo he usado ya por casi 3 años y aun funciona muy bien y lo mejor te permite almacenar 2 Terabytes de informacion importante, por otro lado, sus dimensiones hacen que lo puedas ubicar en tu cartera sin ocupar tanto espacio o llevarlo como llavero.

Love the size and convenience of this drive - the software that came with it was a little complicated but once I figured out that it's not required, everything worked out.
