Buy Samsung T5 instead

Bought a 1Tb extreme 2 years ago as an alternative to Samsung T5s which I use extensively. Started using it about 10 weeks ago for backups. It shows up this morning as a removable after working fine for 10 weeks. Unable to use it, can't format it, SanDisk's own application does not even recognise it. Has not been moved or written to and has remained connected to the pc overnight (as have 2 other Samsung T5s which are fine). Useless product. Will use Samsung now exclusively. Product is now in the trash

Dead in first use.

Got two 4tb extreme pros, yesterday first time i used them to download data in a shoot, the day after the partition won't mount it looks available but won't mount. Searching on internet have read it had happen to other people several times. Please don't buy!.

Concerned by older review comments

Purchased from "Brick and Mortar" store with intent to use with my MAC and Time Machine for back ups. Before opening the package, I did a more in depth study of pros and cons reviews. I was very hesitant to open the product and considered returning to store for refund or exchange for a similar product. I've had nothing but good results from other SanDisk flash drives so I decided to take the chance and opened this box. Plugged it in with the supplied cable and selected Time Machine App on the MAC. Followed the menu options in Time Machine and completed my first backup seamlessly. Happy so far. Performed as expected.

Sandisk Extreme PRO 2T - auto unmount from MCP 21'

I bought that disk about year ago for storing data file of FCPX and not be troubled with a speed. Since half year ago, I realized that disk is, somehow, automatically unmounting from Mac or even worse, when I stepped out for a while and come back I have a message about UNCORRECT UNMOUNTING OF DISK and FCPX message, changes can't be saved. Solution is nowhere on forums nor here, I have latest MacOS 12.6 in October 2022 with M1 Silicon and MCB 16" 2021 version with 2T internal storage and 64GB RAM. I believed in Sandisk until now, I had really doubtful experience in Western Digital and that was my last try...

No problems at all.

No problems at all. Using it with Dell XPS 15" & 13" laptops to back up pictures and HD video on location. Will probably buy some 1TB versions when price comes down. Easy to travel with as can easily fit 2-3 of these drives in jeans front pocket.
