    5.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT confuse with Sandisk Extreme
    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019
    Amazon has a mistake in their reviews. They have mixed reviews for the Extreme Pro with the Extreme. The Extreme Pro is almost twice as fast as the Extreme. The Extreme Pro has only been out a few months so reviews from 2018 are for the Extreme. The Extreme Pro is slightly larger than the regular Extreme, and will NOT fit in the cases Amazon suggests under "Customers also bought". You can easily identify which is which. The Extreme Pro has an orange metallic band around the perimeter, the Extreme is solid black. The Extreme Pro (using in Macbook Pro USB-c port) is wicked fast. Ideal for storing / transferring GoPro video.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Muy bueno.
    Reviewed in Mexico on April 30, 2021
    Al abrirlo me sorprendió su tamaño, me lo imaginaba del tamaño de un disco duro externo como western digital, pero es más pequeño y delgado. Es tan delgado como mi smartphone (Moto Z2 Play) con funda, y mucho más pequeño (foto adjunta). Es súper portable.

    Incluye 2 cortos (muy cortos) cables:
    - USB A a USB C
    - USB C a USB C

    Así que debería ser compatible con cualquier computadora moderna que incluya puerto USB A o USB C.

    En cuanto a durabilidad promete, pues utiliza tecnología TLC. Si en el futuro falla antes de lo esperado actualizaré mi reseña.

    Como sugerencia antes de usarlo recomiendo que lo formatees a NTFS. Claro, respalda antes la carpeta que tiene incluida que incluye un software para encriptar una carpeta. Y después de formatearlo vuelves a poner la carpeta con el software en el disco sandisk.

    La anécdota que da pie a mi recomendación es la siguiente:

    Compré este disco duro externo para respaldar la información de un disco duro mecánico (HDD) que está en formato NTFS y con 550 GBs de datos.

    Como inicialmente venía con formato exFAT, no le tomé importancia y simplemente copié todos los datos de mi HDD interno al SSD externo. El proceso duró 4 horas y media y al final noté que los datos en el SSD externo ocupaban casi 650 GBs. Casi 100 GBs más que lo que ocupaba en mi HDD interno. Y la velocidad de transferencia me descepcionó.

    Al día siguiente formateé el SSD externo a NTFS y volví a hacer el respaldo. Esto resolvió los problemas. La transferencia fue mucho más rápida y ahora sí ocupaba 550 GBs.

    Solo remarco mi recomendación, antes de usarlo formatéalo a NTFS! (no olvides respaldar el software incluido para encriptar).
