This drive is fast and a good value, but after 6 months, I can say that it’s rather finicky on a Mac. So I’m reducing my rating to 4 stars.

My first issue was that the drive became unrecognizable on my MacBook Pro M1. The Mac couldn’t see the drive in Disk Utility or give any sign that the drive existed at all. Even more bizarre, when I plugged it into three other Macs, it worked fine. Eventually, I figured out that it was because I wasn’t using the original cable that came with it, which I think is perhaps a lightning cable or something, which apparently my MacBook Pro M1 really wanted. But to work on 3 other macs just fine with a regular USB-C cable? Bizarre. So there was quirk number one.

Later on, when encrypting the drive, I either unplugged it too soon, or the operating system didn’t unmount it properly, and the drive became corrupted and this time, though showing up in DiskUtility, couldn’t be formatted or partitioned without failing with a strange error each time. Others on the internet who had this issue said they ultimately had to return the drive for a new one. I was about to return mine too, but then as a last-ditch effort, I borrowed a Windows 11 machine, which recognized the drive no problem. So I re-partitioned it there, and then brought it back to my Mac, where Disk Utility was happy to deal with it again.

The third quirk is that often, my Mac refuses to eject the drive. Ventura, and Sonoma before it, almost always says the drive is in use, even when every program is closed. Spotlight isn’t indexing it. Maybe it’s because I have my primary Photos Library on it and it’s doing something in the background? But it’s not obvious, and I have to shut-down my computer almost every time to eject this disk. I’ll have to put more time into researching active processes to see what the deal is, but I just don’t have this issue with my other external drives. So again, Sandisk and Apple need to coordinate on this.

So while I’d love to give this drive five stars, all these quirks on the Mac have wasted a lot of my time. And SanDisk (Western Digital) needs to really take a look at some of the compatibility issues with Mac and update the firmware / drivers on this.
