    Small package but packs a BIG punch!
    This lil hard drive is AMAZING. Straight out the box it’s ready to use. It’s Formatted in ExFAT format. I plugged it into my MacBook Pro M2 laptop 💻 & it picked up immediately. Transfer speed: It took about 2hrs 37mins to transfer over approx 40,000+ songs. I started at 10:10a & finished 12:47pm. That’s a lot of songs iykyk. It copied aprox 379.16 gb that quickly. My 1TB thumb drive took over 4 hrs for the same transfer. While plugged into the computer I didn’t hear any noise. It’s very quiet. It comes with the tiny drive a USB-C to USB-C plug & a USB-C to USB-A adapter for older computers or ones with no USB-C ports. For those saying it’s not truly 2TB, straight out the Box it had 80.7mb used. I’m guessing that’s the security software for Mac & Windows computer. As you can see in the pic I still had 2TB BEFORE copying 40,0000+ songs STILL left me with about 1.62 TB available. During the 2 hour transfer it was warm. Definitely not hot, but warm as expected. This is a great value for the price because I saw another retailer sell the 1TB for around this same price. This drive can definitely store 2TB! (See pics) Oh & I plugged it into my iPhone 16 Pro Max & it picked up immediately. You have to make sure you hear/feel that “click” when you plug it in. My husband has an Android phone Galaxy S25 & it picked up immediately on his phone also. Def a WIN! I haven’t plugged it into my iPad Pro 12.9” yet but if it works on my phone & my Mac I’m sure I’ll have no problems. I plan to carry this with me at ALL times since it can hold so much music. The only thing is I wish it would have come with is a carabiner clip. I got one & hooked it to it.

      I should start by saying prior to this SSD I had only been using SD cards. So I can’t speak exactly to the reliability or speed of other SSD’s on the market. Even still. Previously I had even purchased the SanDisk ‘PRO-READER ​SD Express Dual Card​​’ in hopes that it would improve transfer speeds and while maybe it did, there’s still absolutely no comparison between this SSD speed and the SD cards even with the additional $120 reader. The speed alone is reason enough to buy this. Now I am slightly skeptical as I am a Mac OS user and I’ve read plenty of reviews lamenting issues with disk corruption. So if something like that is to happen for me I will be sure to come back here and update this review. The other bonus is the size. I bought one of the Samsung T7 SSD’s for my friend so when I ordered this I expected the size to be roughly the same. Boy was I wrong. It is much much smaller. And to me that is also a huge plus. It’s roughly the size of a business card but of course a little thicker. Much better size imo than the comparable 3/4 of a phone size most other SSD’s clock in at.

      An additional note:
      Although I did download the SanDisk security software that comes already on the SSD in .dmg format I’ve opted to not use a password. I’m not concerned about someone else having access to it and additionally even if anyone else did gain access to it I don’t store anything confidential on it so it wouldn’t really matter to me. I’ve also chosen to do this because from what I’ve read of other reviews it seems that somewhere in between the computer/hard drive and password protection and SSD programming might be where the potential data corruption issues arise after possessing it for a bit of time. As such in efforts to avoid this possible corruption I’ve decided it better off to not have it PW protected.

      Durable, fast, and dependable—great for both daily use and emergency backups

      If you're someone who tends to knock things around, drop them, or lose stuff under the couch, this drive holds up surprisingly well. I’ve kept mine plugged in constantly for things like File History and versioned backups, and it hasn’t overheated or caused any issues, even after long stretches of use.

      It’s great if you regularly move, copy, or delete large files. Transfers between computers are fast, and it’s spacious enough to toss everything on without worrying about space or speed. It's especially handy for storing photos and videos—there's plenty of room, and moving them around is quick and easy.

      This also makes a great "emergency" drive. You can load it with critical files—photos, documents, medical history, bank records, anything you absolutely can’t afford to lose—and just stash it somewhere safe. If you ever need to leave in a hurry or your main system fails, you can just grab it and go. It’s basically a digital safe for your most important stuff.

      This might be overkill for use as a simple backup drive, but if you find it for a great price, then go ahead!

      I picked mine up “used – like new” for $89, and it came in standard packaging with no issues. I’d happily grab another if I saw it again at that price.
