The loop looks cool, but is of limited utility. In reality, attaching a carabiner and keys would be a mistake-not only would it add bulk that might be uncomfortable in a pocket, but the keys would almost certainly mar or gouge the silicone rubber that covers the case. Still, it's a bit bulky compared to other external SSDs.
Not that it's huge, mind you we're talking about 1TB of storage in a 6.1-ounce package measuring 0.4 by 4.3 by 2.3 inches. The Extreme Pro's convenience is slightly diminished by its form factor: Mainly to provide room for a corner loop to which one might attach a carabiner or other clip, the case is larger than it has to be. It'll satisfy many shoppers, but it falls short of an Editors' Choice. But its cost of 23 cents per gigabyte, while not outrageous, is somewhat steep, and it's not as rugged as some rivals. SanDisk's Extreme Pro Portable SSD ($229.99 for 1TB) does a great job in some of these areas-it's very fast and it comes with two USB Type-C cables, one with a Type-C and one with a Type-A end for your computer, rather than an easy-to-lose USB-C-to-A adapter.
There are plenty of good portable solid-state drives to consider, so your choice comes down to a mix of affordability, speed, convenience, and value-added extras.
