Connecting to MacBook Air is hit or miss
on April 25, 2026
Posted by: Nerak
Do not buy if you want to use this on a MacBook Air. The first drive I purchased would only connect to the computer intermittently. I have tried this on multiple Mac's with the same result. I sent this back and received a replacement drive and still have the same issue. Returning for another replacement wouldn't make sense if I still have the same issue.

We're sorry to hear about your experience. Please ensure it is firmly connected and try a different port, cable or computer to help isolate the issue. You may also try formatting the drive using these steps: https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/20821 (please ensure to backup your data before formatting since it is a data-destructive process). If the issue persists, please contact us at: https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/askweb and we'll assist you further.

Fast and compact

This is a pretty good SSD.
High transfer speeds and a lot of storage space in a compact case.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this unit to cover recordings produced by my Rivian R1T’s Gear Guard, a motion driven camera system.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great product my only complaint is that I had to buy an adapter for it to work with my phone because it did not come with a usb-c ti usb-c cord
I would recommend this to a friend!

doesn't work on Mac
on March 24, 2025
Posted by: Trev 63
I bought the 1 TB version a while ago and it can't be formatted on a Mac. I have tried to remedy this issue on the Sandisk support page but it doesn't seem to work? the internet is full of reports and there is no solution by Sandisk/WD it's officially not affected so I guess there will never be a solution. I will buy from a more reliable manufacturer.

Poor performance, extreme heating issues
on February 9, 2025
Posted by: rvfet
False advertisement at its finest! I have a pretty beefy setup that is more than capable of providing at least 1gbps, this *800mbps drive is able to transfer 300mbps for around 10 minutes, then drops to 100mbps with hand-burning heat. This is a terrible product if you are planning to do anything more than storing old family photos in it. Neither made for intensive usage, nor for professionals.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback and would request you to kindly connect with our support team at: https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/askweb so we can assist you with the issue.
