Pros and cons

According to our External SSD expert

Thanks to the USB 3.1 generation 2 connection, you can transfer data with 10Gbps up to two times faster than with USB 3.0.
Because this external SSD is compact and resistant to dust, water, and extreme temperatures, it's very suitable for on the go.
You don't need a power cable, as the power runs through the USB cable.
The drive's encryption is software; it doesn't have hardware encryption for extra-safe encryption.

Description

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 500GB is an external SSD for demanding users. If you're taking lots of photos on the go, you can safely store them on this SSD, because the drive has an IP55 rating. That means it's splash proof and dustproof, so all your photos will survive a rainstorm or a walk in the sand. On top of that, this SSD writes quickly. Transferring a folder of high-resolution photos with a total size of 4GB will take around 8 seconds, thanks to the 550MB/s transfer speed. You can connect the drive to a laptop with a USB-C port via 2nd-generation USB 3.1. The SSD has an integrated key ring, so you can hang the drive from your camera strap, allowing for easy access. Thanks to its 39-gram weight, your SSD weighs about the same as a passport, and you'll barely feel the drive while you're on the go.

Review is 10 out of 10.

So reliable it gets boring.

It works without any problem
It works with Windows10 system installed, connected to MacBookAir
Connection cable does not come off easily

My son bought a MacBookAir last year, this year the school told every student to buy a laptop. Since we had just invested in the mac, we didn't like that. So I had to make sure that windows 10 was also installed. The mac's SSD is only 125GB, so I thought about an external drive on Thunderbolt, these are very expensive. Then I thought let's try USB3. And it works, and fast enough. It is not noticeable that the operating system is on an external drive.
