If i connect this drive to a tb3 port, what speed will i get?

This is one of the first USB-C 3.2 gen 2X2 devices on the market. SanDisk claims read/write speeds of up to 2GB/s, which is 16Gbps. Obviously, a 5Gbps USB 3.0 connection or a 10 Gbps USB 3.1/3.2 gen 2 connection won't be sufficient to support the drive's maximum bandwidth requirements. USB-C 3.2 gen 2X2 supports a speed of 20 Gbps, which is sufficient to support this drive. Unfortunately, very few computers and no USB hubs that I know of support the gen 2X2 standard yet. However, a TB3 port, with its speed of 40 Gbps, will support this drive at its maximum read/write speeds of 2GB/s. Right now, TB3 is the only way to get the rated speed out of it. Otherwise, you might as well get the old version.

Would a macbook pro 2013, read and write 2000 mb/s? or would i need a 2x2 ucb-c port? because i know it depends on the device/host to get the 2000mb/s

Macbook Pro 2013 (Retina, 13", late 2013) has two Thunderbolt 2 and two USB 3 Type A ports (or what is now called USB 3.2 Gen1). you should use the correct caps for the terms (e.g. MB/s vs Mb/s, etc), because they mean different things and people are often confused when x doesn't do y because of it. MB or GB is Mega or Giga "byte". Mb or Gb is Mega or Giga "bit". The Thunderbolt 2 ports have transfer speed up to 20Gb/s (equal to 2.5GB/s or 2500MB/s). The USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports have transfer speed up to 5Gb/s (equal to 625MB/s). SanDisk Extreme Pro has capability of up to 2000MB/s (or 2GB/s) read/write, so to maximize read/write capability of the SanDisk you would want to use the Thunderbolt 2 ports. You'll need an USB C-Thunderbolt 2 adapter or USB C-Thunderbolt 2 cable, though. You can still use the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A port on the Macbook Pro 2013, but the bottle neck will be the 625MB/s transfer speed of the port versus the 2000MB/s read/write of the SanDisk drive.

No. It would easily fit in your shirt pocket and you might forget it was there. This is a very fast SSD external hard drive. If I purchase any more external hard drives, this one will probably be the one I purchase again. I highly recommend it. Having said that, I wouldn't give you two cents for their worthless customer support.

Overall Good Exp.

SDD is Great. but No difference between 2000MB/s & 1000MB/s. Transfer rate almost so so. I suggest try 1000MB/s is Best for Home users.

Worst product with no technical support

I have purchased 2TB extreme pro model and its keep on crashing while transferring data. First of all, it will not gives you the transferring speed of 2000/mb as mentioned on the product secondly, it will keep on disconnecting with the error message. Don't buy this version if you wanted to save your time and money. Regret to purchased this and post even no replacement

Do this to get Speed Upto 900 MBPS

I bought it at 25,999. The mistake most users did is they didn't insert USB fully in USB 3.1 or 3.2 port. If you insert it half, then it will give max speed of around 41 MBPS. Push it and then you will get more than 700 MBPS. I was about to return but I found this fault on my part. Otherwise product is amazing. Please do the above thing if you are facing speed issue.
