Do not under any circumstances buy the Sandisk SSDs, especially the 4tb ones, especially their top of the line drives. They are known to fail abruptly. I thought that my photo SSD was backed up. I discovered that I was terribly wrong. This is the only time it has happened, and I am paying the price.
If I am lucky, very lucky, it may only cost me $1000.00 or so.
File Savers wanted $4500.00.
I’m an idiot. For now, avoid Sandisk.
Just like mine. They have only lasted (and are still going) 5 months (latest purchase) and 4 years (first purchase) without fail. (I) don't know where I screwed up.
