This drive is certainly bigger and heavier than most drives. That being said, it is exceptionally fast and capacious. I get speeds of over 800 megabytes (not megabits!) per second. It works well on mac and PC and feels high quality. It does heat up, but doesn't seem to overheat. One downside is that only the USB C or the USB A ports are covered, but not both. I do recommend this drive, it's built well, fast, and large. I would recommend splurging on the higher capacity models as I feel like that makes more sense for a drive like this, but it depends on what you need from it. I would recommend waiting for a sale of at least below $160 which seems to happen frequently for this drive. Read more
This is exactly what we needed to move large files around to different types of devices (not phones). It is compatible with all apple devices and I was impressed at the speed of large file transfer it achieved. (The speed is a key selling point and it didn't disappoint me. I seriously thought the file transfer was gonna take all day. I think this is especially good for researchers as it makes large file transfer seem more routine). While I have considered keeping it on a keychain due to its size, I think a work lanyard is more appropriate because this is longer and thicker than a normal jump drive, but it seems durable and I expect it to last a long time. I also think the largest memory sizes would be a great as a backup storage option if you don't use a cloud service like time machine. Read more
Right out of the package, this drive feels heavy duty, it is not light, it is built like a tank. When you spin the drive to select USB A or USB c side, it has a clicking lock mechanism that keeps it in place. It just feels good in your hands. It is lightning fast and when formatted as FAT32 works great for digital DJing with Rekordbox. Having a whole 1T thumb drive for under $100 (currently the sale price is an insane value), with both USB connectors makes this highly recommended. Seems like it will past the test of time. Only a few small negative things I could call out is it gets pretty warm when in use, the lack of connector covers (although pretty standard these days), and with how heavy it is, hoping it doesn't cause stress on usb ports if its not supported by sitting on table etc. Read more

Works as described - transfer speed is really nice on both USB-C and USB 3. I'm getting 400 MB/s on my computer and realize theoretical speed and personal PC, etc. affects actual speed. Very nice to have both USB types for convenience but it is a bit bulky in size so on some laptops a bit difficult to use. Also, the packaging should clearly state this is SSD - had to research online quite a bit to confirm as I was about to return this. SSD is important. Read more
The SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Dual Drive USB is an absolute beast of a flash drive. It’s a bit bulkier than the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe, but with 2TB of storage and up to 1000MB/s speeds, the added size makes sense—and honestly, it’s still pocketable and sleek enough. See my photos for size comparison between the Luxe, this Extreme PRO, and a pen. Performance-wise, it really delivers. In my disk speed tests, it consistently hits around 800MB/s read/write, and real-world large file transfers confirm those numbers. It’s super fast, and noticeably runs cooler than the Luxe, which is a nice bonus during long copy sessions. While the Luxe is already a fantastic drive, this model feels like a step up across the board. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but when you consider that this little USB stick offers performance and storage on par with my Samsung T7 2TB SSD—at a similar price point—it’s pretty amazing. I got this at $149 during Springs Sale btw. Highly recommended if you want high-speed, high-capacity portable storage in a compact form. Totally happy with this purchase. Read more
Very handy that it can switch from USB A to C, and even the pivoting connector makes it easier to squeeze the device into a USB port in a tight situation. it is a little heavy and bulky, but considering a whopping 512gb capacity normally requires a sandwich-sized hard drive, the size is perfectly acceptable.
