SanDisk Professional 1TB G-DRIVE ArmorLock SSD - Encrypted NVMe Solid State Drive, 1000MB/s, USB-C, High-Level Security, Ultra Rugged - SDPS41A-001T-GBANB

The ssd worked great once I worked out the reason that it kept connecting and then disconnecting was due to a faulty usb c to usb c cable. Not the end of the world but annoying at this price range. Also had I not checked the cable I would have assumed the product was faulty. Other than that, a great product which was quick and easy to install, not sure about the formatting comments from other users as this happened automatically in the fast installation process and required no imput from me other than choosing my required format. For anyone who requires a secure ssd this is a great choice and I would be happy to leave a 5 star review was it not for the faulty cable provided with the product.

If you do everything on your home/office computer then this device is perfect for your peace of mind knowing your more private information is secured. I especially when I get a report from my Interprovider and Norton Antivirus that our Modem was hit/blocked with over 300 attacks in one month. This caused me to purchase this device and remove all my family/business documents on this device. I love the fact that no one can access it unless I unlock it and when I leave my office or if I forget to lock it when I leave the house. I can just use my phone to lock from it anywhere. It's easy to setup and yes you need your cell phone to unlock the device. Think of it as a 2nd Authentication you use for your bank or email accounts. With the need of a 2nd device to verify you wanted to open/unlock your files you know not just anyone can gain access to your personal information. My only recommendation is that they provide a longer cable for Desktop users where the USB ports are on the back of the PC and with their provided cable the device will hang unsecure. Unlucky for me I had an extra port on top of my PC to allow me to plug in without having it hang off the back. I used the box it came with to create a buffer away from the PC. Two Thumbs up!

I still have not figured out how to get this to work. You must have a Computer Degree I assume it is above my head and I work with Computers daily. I even had my friend who is very Tech Savvy to try and help me make it work and he gave up! I had planned on sending back but time ran out. At this point such a waste of my money not to mention frustration.

This is a great idea in theory but execution is TERRIBLE. The armor lock feature should be able to be turned off and the app developers need to fix some serious issues and bugs before you sell this to another working professional. I have wasted so many hours of my life and my energy trying to connect these drives. Not trying the first time, but trying almost every time I plug the drives into my computer. Forget about trying to give this drive to an editor or to a client because they will never get into the drive. Sure they are very fast but I've wasted so much time connecting these drives that it ends up being slower that a 7200 rpm drive. Save your money and buy one of the other SSD drives without the armor lock.
