Review: All works great until it doesnt, just within 3 years it doesnt work anymore. - The ssd failed within the first 2-3 years of use, and due to the design it can’t be fixed. I have been trying to make a claim under the warranty and desertcart told me to speak with WD. Sandisk now deals with this area so the claim has to now go through them. I would look for another brand or style of SSD so if this failure occurres you have a possibility of fixing it. Its a shame, when it worked it was great, speeds were good enough and it was small and portable which was a great factor when trying to carry minimal gear
Review: Seemed ok - soon became clear it's useless for MacOS - will never buy SanDisk again ever. - It's fast and compact, but I needed this to work as external drive on Mac mini. The problem is it disconnects every single day and sometimes in the middle of use. I have to unplug and connect again each time. After checking online, seems a very common issue and solution might be to update firmware. I just don't want to be bothered with that and decided to buy Samsung external SSD instead and will never buy SanDisk or WD again. This is so embarrassing, even pathetic - the one thing it's supposed to do...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, my new extreme v2 1050mb/s is only getting 40-100mb/s . why? it's on usb 3.2 gen 1 (the old usb 3.0).**
A: To clarify, the speed you can transfer files to and from this drive depends on the read/write speeds of the drive you are transferring from. If your pc storage drive has a read speed of 250 mb/s then that's the speed the files will transfer even though the USB drive will write faster it can't get the data off of the pc storage drive fast enough. Hope this helps a little bit.

**Q: Has the 2TB Pro 1050mb drive password protection?**
A: Dear Cath Harrison,
 
My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care.
 
I would like to inform you that the drive will have password 3rd party application on it pre-installed.
 
You may contact us via our support email: english_support@sandisk.com  and provide us with the date of this post.
 

Best regards,

**Q: With apples camera (usb cable) can i use this drive with just a charging cable? as currently have to use a powered usb hub with a drive.**
A: The Sandisk Drive draws it's power and communication (Files) through a single USB-C Cable. It depends whether the Apple camera's connection can output enough power to run the Drive. Do you use the Charging cable to transfer Data as well as charge the Camera ? If it's just for charging i'd think it's not going to work. I personally would send an Email to Sandisk & Apple to enquire if it's possible

**Q: Will this work for the Dashcam in my Tesla?**
A: I use it on a 2016 Mac book pro,,,, it works well, if you back to this ssd through time machine it will auto format the drive to Mac format the first time you use it.

### ⭐ Stay away
*by M***N on 15 July 2022*

Thankfully I am writing this review after over 6 months of use and up until last week I would say that it was great, very fast and perfect, but then the nightmare happened. While still plugged in and not touched the 'eject error' appeared on on screen, which was weird as I hadn't touched the device and then my iMac wouldn't read it, not even in disk utility. I even tried a Windows computer as that can sometimes work but still nothing. After contacting a specialist recovery company they said that the device had failed and that is was a case as to whether the data can be retrieved. I am still waiting to find out but either way the device is useless now. I thought SSD were supposed to be better, he said that in some respects they were, ie you can drop and it would break but that if not being used remotely, living the house etc then HDD are better. I am completely gutted about this. I am professional wedding videographer and to have this happen is a nightmare. I'm yet to find out the result but I'm dreading having to make those phone calls.
