## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with any cables (like the samsung ssd t5 does [usb to c cable, and also a c to c cable])? thanks**
A: Dear , 

My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care.

I would like to inform you that the external SSD  is shipped together with USB 3.1 Type-C connector and also includes a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a Type-C to Type-A adapter. More information will be found in the product page:

**Q: Can this drive be formatted as mac os extended (journaled) to act as a bootable backup or time machine backup for mac os?**
A: Yes, absolutely. Having said that, not sure why you would want to have a very fast (and expensive compared to regular HDDs) Solid State Drive as a backup device. In my view, you are better off with a normal hard disk.

**Q: Does it require a lithium battery as stated in specifications, please?**
A: Dear David Campbell,
 
My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care.
 
I would like to inform you that the portable SSD does not require any battery. it operates by cable connected to the computer.

**Q: Does this drive come hardware encryption as nearly everyone requires this if ever misplaced?**
A: The drive has SanDisk encryption software on it when you get it. There's a Windows and Mac version but no Linux. Personally I would recommend VeraCrypt for encrypting your drive instead. It's open source, audited for security, and well known to be almost impossible to crack (even for the FBI). Plus it's free. Compared to BitLocker it's miles ahead: BitLocker only comes with Windows 10 Pro, is honestly more difficult to set up, backs up your encryption key in OneDrive (so Microsoft can decrypt all your files or if they're hacked so could anyone), and it's closed source with no way to verify how secure it is.

That last criticism applies to the SanDisk encryption software too. I'm not saying it's malicious, but when software is intended to provide security and privacy through encryption it should be open source. Most commonly used encryption software and systems trusted to be secure are open source (e.g. the software running on web servers to provide HTTPS, the server software itself, the OS under it... all open source).

I work with servers run by big companies and they would never trust closed source encryption. You shouldn't either.

TL;DR: Download VeraCrypt for free, it's extremely secure and does what you want and more.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SUPER TINY and FAST!! Impressive.
*by M***U on 11 December 2019*

Purchased as I needed to replace my Seagate one. Nothing wrong with Seagate, but due to the new USB-C ports machines now have, the cable on the old Seagate one kept cutting in and out and was dying on me. Chose this. Was expensive, but was in middle of a live project and so had to invest.SIZEWOW. I think this is a real selling point for me. I was so surprised by how small it was. I've tried to take a pic for buyers to relate to it. It can sit in palm of hand. About size smaller and so light, than a computer mouse.RUGGEDNESSCompletely feels secure, and has already has had some knocks being on set and around my bag. When you plug it in, you know the cables are secure and during transfer. Yet to test against external extreme conditions.EASE OF USELike with all of the portable drives. They are simple to use. Simply plug and play. Up to you if you want to use it as an external drive, or/and as a back up drive. No issues what so ever. Up to you if you want to install the Sandisk encryption software.If it wasn't so pricey (as everyone is different), I would snap up another.... maybe if I save up after this festive season..Definitely recommend. I'm work remote and so my needs are for it to be quite resilient.Hope this review helps others.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute MONSTER - Best IT purchase for a long time
*by P***U on 22 August 2019*

No words. Absolute monster on speed, weight, size and theoretically on durability too.When I saw the product box I was astonished. When I opened it and grabbed the disc I was shocked.As you can see from the attached pictures (sorry for poor quality) it is a lot smaller than a WD My Passport Ultra 2Tb, specially a LOT thinner. What you can't see is how LIGHT it is. It also feels sturdier, specially knowing there's no moving parts inside. I'm just happy to throw it around now with no care at all.Comes with a (short) USB-C to USB-C cable plus a USB-A 3.1 adaptor for the computer side. This is probably the only weak side of the whole product - as with any other, be careful with the connection.Ah! Forgot about the blasting speeds (CrystalDiskMark run on Win7, on a 4 years old Latitude E5570). It is 3-4 times quicker than all the portable HDD I've got. It's almost as quick as the SSD in my laptop.If you live on the move, and moving lots of files, this is a no-brainer and a must-have. Save some money up, it's well worth it.PS: Main downside: it's so amazing you are going to fill it up too quickly! Can you tell I fell in love with it?UPDATE:2 extra pics, speed checks this time with a new Latitude E5501 with Windows 10, first one running on USB-A, second on Thunderbolt port.Also, after extensive and hard use, hard drive becomes quite hot. This is I suppose quite normal, though a potential point of concern for durability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it and hella fast
*by A***R on 3 July 2020*

I had been torn for about half a year in trying to decide whether I should invest in a new SSD drive or simply go with an older, cheaper, bigger, and mechanic model. I wanted to use this drive to back up old books, pdf, and personal files, so likely wouldnt use more than 500 GB. After a lot of deliberation, I just decided to go for this one, since it was well rated.Overall, I can say I am very happy I did. The drive is very small, about the size of a credit card and the thickness of a pen. It feels like quality and sturdy, not flimsy and not like you have to worry about breaking it in daily use. Its ridiculously fast, too. Others here have provided better information about it, but for common use and without much technical knowledge the speed boast compared to my previous drives is VERY noticeable. It also comes with a very flexible USB-C and USB adapter for all varieties of outputs. Only thing that was useful to know (which another user here posted) was that its helpful to reformat the drive to use a lower minimum file size. I also bought the carrying case for it, which definitely allowed to store all the stuff more comfortably, so I can recommend that as well. Overall a great piece of technology.
