No matter where your adventures may lead, the 1TB SanDisk PRO-G40 1TB Thunderbolt 3 Portable SSDhelps you store your important footage, including large raw images and 4K video files. Featuring a tough, rugged design, this portable solid-state drive is IP68 rated for water and dust resistance in addition to withstanding up to 9.8' drops and 4000 pounds of crushing force.

[0.39 lb] This SSD IS SMALL. It has enough capacity to hold photos from very demanding shoots. It Is well-made and appears to be durable although I have never put it to the test. Lightning fast as well. 5

[Aluminum] I have been using G Tech drives for editing in Final Cut for 17 years because my instructor told me they work best with Macs (compared to La Cies, etc.) With San Disk's recent purchase of G Tech, I tried one of these. Although it get quite hot - simply as a result of being mounted to the desktop without actually being used by an app - I like the speed and portability, including being able to edit using only the battery of my Mac Book Pro during a thunderstorm! (I place mine in a plastic bag surrounded by cold pack from the freezer for sustained video editing.). While rotating HDs are not nearly as susceptible to the over-heating issue I truly like the high speed rendering capability of an SSD. Development of these portable SSDs seems to have plateaued at the 4TB capacity.... 5

[1 TB] After formatting it works on Windows 10\11, the speed is excellent and the shell itself is of high quality 5

Heather	22/07/2024
[Bus Powered] This drive is super compact and handy. I'll be purchasing another one. It's a great choice for Time Machine backups since it takes up almost no room on a desk. 5

Sam	06/07/2024
[1 TB] This is one of the best SSDs I've used and have been blown away by its super fast transfer rates, ability to stay relatively cool and not overheat. I was worried about it overheating with large file transfer but it has not been an issue at all. It's smaller than my phone and can be slipped in your pocket for on the go use. 5

Dale	05/07/2024
[Aluminum] This is the second one I've purchased and I'll probably buy another one soon. 5

Kenneth	14/06/2024
[5.6 x 4 x 1.3"] Easy set up, no issues and it's significantly faster than my regular SanDisk SSD. For my Mac, Thunderbolt 3 is worth the added expense if speed is important. 5

Daniel	11/06/2024
[5.6 x 4 x 1.3"] The title sums it up for me. This appears very well designed and made too. No compatabality issuse for me on either of my macs (M1 Mini and M2 Studio). 5

Benjamin	06/06/2024
[Aluminum] I picked up 2 of these to fast-track some projects and I never want to use my old drives now. They're super responsive, formatted in APFS so I could use them right away, and I love how they look and feel. No notes. 5
