What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing is inconsistent about weight, giving 63.5 g in the product dimensions and 64 g elsewhere. Its model name omits “PRO” although the title and feature copy use Extreme PRO, and its speed fields vary in wording. Listed burst speeds are up to 4000 MB/s read and 3800 MB/s write, while 3100 MB/s is the claimed average sustained write speed for 2 TB–4 TB models. Confirm the exact model and expected host connection before buying. The manufacturer says performance varies with the host, interface and conditions, password protection requires its app, and the drive must be clean and dry before use after water exposure.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

Video editors, photographers and other users keeping large project files on an external drive.
Buyers who want 4 TB of portable storage and can use a compatible USB Type-C connection.

Less suited to
