TBerwick - I confess I fell in love with the idea and apparent useability of SanDisk’s rugged Extreme Portable SSD drive. I put my money where my mouth was and ordered one from B&H Photo. Then it arrived - with absolutely no documentation. I went online to SanDisk and found no formal user guide or documentation there either. There was a Q&A file with various random comments, none of which amounted to a user guide. Finally, after piecing together reviews from various vendor sites, I learned the compact SanDisk SSD drive cannot be connected to iOS devices such as an iPad or iPhone. The incompatibility with iPad makes it useless for me. Having obtained an RMA, I will be returning the drive to B&H in hopes of a full refund. Interesting technology, but not yet ready for Prime Time. Thanks to B&H for their, as always, excellent help - this fiasco was not their fault. — Ralph

It’s not the technology that’s not ready for prime time, it’s the vendor and/or the file system or you needed help in installing - should be no need for instructions - just treat it like any other new hard drive. I gave both my sons Samsung USB3 connected 512GB SSDs for Christmas. About the size of a pack of cigarettes - fits in your shirt pocket, 4-5 ounces, rugged, vibration resistant and probably waterproof. No instructions needed. Since it came partitioned and formatted correctly, it was simply plug and play on a Mac for one and a PC for the other - plugged it in and it showed up as a drive letter. Next time (if there is one), choose Intel or Samsung.
