Physical dimensions are tiny, no taller than a standard pen, as wide as two of my fingers put together. Enclosure is light, made from a hard plastic. Included cable appears to be a standard 1 foot long USB-A to USB-C cable. Actual drive size is expected, reading as 1.8 terabytes in Windows 11. CrystalDisk results posted below, connected to a USB 3.1 port directly into motherboard. Will update with any additional information/issues as I use. So far, exactly as advertised. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 x64 (C) 2007-2021 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World: https://crystalmark.info/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * MB/s = 1,000,000 bytes/s [SATA/600 = 600,000,000 bytes/s] * KB = 1000 bytes, KiB = 1024 bytes [Read] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 564.254 MB/s [ 538.1 IOPS] < 14830.53 us> SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 494.511 MB/s [ 471.6 IOPS] < 2118.86 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 122.299 MB/s [ 29858.2 IOPS] < 1069.12 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 19.233 MB/s [ 4695.6 IOPS] < 212.66 us> [Write] SEQ 1MiB (Q= 8, T= 1): 501.601 MB/s [ 478.4 IOPS] < 16659.14 us> SEQ 1MiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 447.585 MB/s [ 426.9 IOPS] < 2339.82 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 32, T= 1): 103.196 MB/s [ 25194.3 IOPS] < 1265.34 us> RND 4KiB (Q= 1, T= 1): 29.733 MB/s [ 7259.0 IOPS] < 137.44 us> Profile: Default Test: 1 GiB (x5) [F: 0% (0/1863GiB)] Mode: [Admin] Time: Measure 5 sec / Interval 5 sec Date: 2023/02/09 18:28:32 OS: Windows 11 Professional [10.0 Build 22621] (x64)

This is a nice little external storage drive. High capacity, smaller and lighter than a smart phone. Seems well constructed and able to survive drops Works right out of the box. I use it to back up projects and store digital plug ins for my digital audio workstation.

I actually only have a USB 3.1 port and this still worked, although at the lower speed supported by the port. Works flawlessy. Recommended especially if you have a USB 3.2 port.

It's a handy portable backup storage due to the small size. speed seems adequate for me.

Love the size of this. Connects quickly! Storage volume works for my level of entertainment. Plug and play. Nice job San disk!

works well, even few years after I bought it

Love the size and convenience of this drive - the software that came with it was a little complicated but once I figured out that it's not required, everything worked out.

Mooi, snel en een groot geheugen.

This drive is great, small, quick and good value

Super rápido, muy compacto, pequeño, ligero y con 2 TB... Un disco SSD perfecto para llevar datos y transportarlo.

Once I have received my product, I went to SanDisk site to register it, I typed in the S/N and the site gave me an error that the S/N I typed does not exist. Tried doing that multiple times and every time dot the same error.

Compact, lightweight (does not mean less durable) and quality storage device with none of the overheating that other users say they have experienced. Completed a full 970 GB Time Machine backup on a 2015 MacBook Pro in circa 2.5 hours. This back up was then successfully restored in circa 2 hours to the same device that I had completed a factory reset on. I'm sure USB 3.0 connectivity on the newer Apple devices would speed to timings up further. Very pleased with this portable 2 TB Sandisk SSD, the speed and exceptional Black Friday price. Definitely recommend.
