    Excellent product

    This is the smallest hard drive I have ever used.
    Nice, thin, super handy with its USB-C cable and the little USB adapter (perfect for those who juggle between PC and Mac).

    The only downside for me is that it lacks a small system to keep the cable and adapter without the risk of losing it.

    I recommend it.

    Great product but formatting to be done

    Very nice product, doesn't take up much space but it needs to be reformatted as the ex-Fat formatting is not great.
    110GB of real data takes up 200GB on the disk.
    A small case to carry the cable would have been great.

    Perfectly suited to my needs.

    Small and discreet, hardly more bulky than a key ring.
    Elegant shape and material.
    Conveniently located in the body of the case, requiring a small lockable carabiner for security.
    Suitable for almost all OS and USB configurations, old or new.
    Small encryption software on the ssd that you can choose to install or not.
    Caution: for tower and floor PCs, where the connection is at the back, a 2m cable is required to be safe.

    SANDISK EXTREME SSD 500GB

    I have been using a Sandisk Extreme flash drive for over 7 years without any problems, so I bought this SSD Extreme drive with confidence.
    I partitioned this drive with W10 to make a "system backup" partition and a "personal" file partition to backup. I have since made a "Survival kit" on the backup partition which was created in NTFS (EXfat originally), without any problem.
    I've been using it for a while now, and it's been a great success. I've been using it for a while, and it's been a great success, too.
    In conclusion: buy this drive with confidence. Sandisk is "all good"! One star less as it can be found for 30 or 35 € less in other big stores...

    Superb

    A fast transfer! It's nice when you need fluidity.
    The small size of the SSD is amazing, very practical for transport.

    Excellent product

    Small, very fast, all-purpose, you can carry it with you at all times. The only small flaw is the cable that is lying around. Personally, I put the whole thing in a laptop "sock".
