SanDisk Professional 500GB G-DRIVE Ultra-Rugged and Portable NVMe Solid State Drive

SanDisk Professional 500GB G-DRIVE SSD Ultra-Rugged and Portable NVMe Solid State Drive SKU: SDPS11A-500G-GB

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Slow with some computers or TVs Slow as 1MB/s with some Windows 10 computers and Samsung TV. Fast as 1+GB/s with another Linux computer. Seems like it is recognized as USB1.1 device with max 1.2 MB/s speed on some devices. The reason is unknown. Firmware upgrade is unavailable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Robust I formatted it to NTFS and hooked it to my Linksys MR8300 router as a network drive. It's been 6 weeks so far, and the reliability is good. I don't have a Thunderbolt port, so I can't comment on speed, I'm after reliability. I've been using Sandisk and WD products for decades and haven't had any problems, so I expect this to be the same.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Drive, Faulty Cables This isn't my first G-Drive. They're great. Mty issue was with the supplied usb cables. Specifically the usb-a to usb-c cable. It was unusable and had me scratching my head over 4 hour transfer speeds for 11 gb of data. Swapped the cable to something I had laying around the house and boom I was in business. Lightning fast. Is a good quality usb cable to much of an ask? Seriously disappointed.
