Review: Fast and easy to use solid SSD - A great fast and easy-to-use SSD high-capacity drive! This drive is perfect for all my photo libraries. It is small enough to sit on my desk without taking up much room. It does get hot, which is perfectly normal and not a problem. It is so much better than some of my previous WD drives, which would take ages to mount on the desktop. It is expensive, but I would say very good value for money, especially if you need a good, solid, reliable system. Review: Great Asset - Effective and, as expected of an SSD, completely silent in operation. Can get warm when accessed but this has not been a problem. I reformatted mine on arrival to APFS (Apple File System), and it works perfectly – a step not to be taken if compatibility with Windows is required. ## Features - Available in capacities up to 8TB SSD(1), giving you capacity for your photo and video collection, music library, and important documents. - Access your content faster, 4 x faster than a desktop HDD4, with read speeds up to 1000 MB/s(2). - Quickly back up your files with SSD speeds using Apple Time Machine, or make backups automatic with the downloadable Acronis True Image for Western Digital backup software(3). - Maximize your desk space; the compact design of this SanDisk desktop SSD will feel natural in any work setting. - Get up and running quickly and easily on Windows or Mac out of the box with exFAT formatting, using the USB Type-C cable. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CXV72LYR | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,259 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 52 in External Solid State Drives | | Box Contents | External Solid State Drive | | Brand | SanDisk | | Brand Name | SanDisk | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 8 | | Color | Slate Grey | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connectivity technology | USB | | Country of Origin | Malaysia | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 173 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 8 TB | | Digital storage capacity | 8 TB | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Form Factor | Compact design | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.1 | | Hard disk form factor | 3.5 Inches | | Hard disk interface | USB 3.1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 8 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.2 Gen 2 | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 270 Grams | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | SDSSDT40-8T00-EM25 | | Media Speed | up to 1000MB/s | | Model Name | SDSSDT40-8T00-EM25 | | Model Number | SDSSDT40-8T00-EM25 | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Compact, Fast Speed | | Product Warranty | 3 year | | Read Speed | 1000 Megabytes Per Second | | Special feature | Compact, Fast Speed | | Specific Uses For Product | General Personal Computing, High-Performance Computing | | UPC | 619659207823 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SanDisk - **Colour:** Slate Grey - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Digital storage capacity:** 8 TB - **Hard disk description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard disk form factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** USB 3.1 - **Installation type:** External Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Compact, Fast Speed ## Images ![SANDISK Desk Drive 8TB, Desktop External SSD, USB Type-C, Speeds up to 1000 MB/s, High-capacity Solid State Drive, back up your favorite and important content, Acronis True Image Software, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lFgRVKadL.jpg) ![SANDISK Desk Drive 8TB, Desktop External SSD, USB Type-C, Speeds up to 1000 MB/s, High-capacity Solid State Drive, back up your favorite and important content, Acronis True Image Software, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Sh4XXpxOL.jpg) ![SANDISK Desk Drive 8TB, Desktop External SSD, USB Type-C, Speeds up to 1000 MB/s, High-capacity Solid State Drive, back up your favorite and important content, Acronis True Image Software, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Gq7oxUOdL.jpg) ![SANDISK Desk Drive 8TB, Desktop External SSD, USB Type-C, Speeds up to 1000 MB/s, High-capacity Solid State Drive, back up your favorite and important content, Acronis True Image Software, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81szqcHubjL.jpg) ![SANDISK Desk Drive 8TB, Desktop External SSD, USB Type-C, Speeds up to 1000 MB/s, High-capacity Solid State Drive, back up your favorite and important content, Acronis True Image Software, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gPignDAyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast and easy to use solid SSD *by S***B on 18 January 2026* A great fast and easy-to-use SSD high-capacity drive!
