Yes, but you will need a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Note that speeds will be limited by the older port technology.

Use the SanDisk Dashboard software on your PC or Mac to check for and install available firmware updates.

Try a different USB port or cable, or check your computer's Disk Management/Disk Utility to see if the drive needs to be initialized.
Ensure you are using a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port. Using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port will significantly throttle the drive's performance.
Ensure the SanDisk security software is installed and running, and check for any firmware updates for the drive.
To begin using your SSD, simply connect the included cable to your computer's USB-C port. The drive is compatible with both Windows and macOS, though you may need to format it depending on your primary operating system. To enable the security features, install the provided SanDisk software for password protection. Regarding care, keep the ports free of debris and ensure the drive is safely ejected via your computer's operating system before disconnecting the cable to prevent data corruption. While the drive is rugged, avoid submerging it in liquids unnecessarily and keep the external shell free of heavy abrasives.
