SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD SDSSDE61-4T00-G25

Price listed for the 4TB is now: $257.80 (1/11/2024)

i bought three 4tb and two 2tb of them as a photographer, i fill them on a daily basis....2tb are dead, didnt even make it 6 months, before files went missing or corrupt. two of the 4tb developed same issues just took 9-10 months....sandisk replaced them all, and i sold the new ones they sent me. changed over to a usb-c nvme enclosure and nvme drives, no issues. //@Anonymous: Just because most people bought 2TB version. The control circuit has serious hardware issues, not the SSD. //@Anonymous: most complaints are from 2TB version. it seem 2TB ones got lots of failures. so please check and do more research before purchasing them.

That was before Sandisk was acquired by Western Digital //@Anonymous: Sadly Sandisk used to be the gold standard for flash storage

it is a SN550 inside this E61 4TB version

Better to go with a Crucial or Samsung portable SSD, this one has major issues.

Yes, I think so. //@Anonymous: Is it the drive caused lawsuit?

Don't buy it if you don't need it. I paid ~$130 for a 500G one 5 years ago. It has been collecting dust most of the time since.

If you carry it outside of house and lose it, you lose $449

$449....same price //@Anonymous: Check Costco - They usually have it for $399
