2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD - Up to 2000MB/s Read Speeds - Black

Are you finding researching a new SSD a complete minefield? Theres so many out there and I didn't know what to buy. I had 3 questions that I had to answer to come to my decision. Spoiler...they are not all equal! 1. Q: is it compatible with my iMac 2020 and iPad Pro 2018? (I'd read loads about compatibility issues and even contacted SanDisk who wouldn't commit to a clear answer). A: so far it works well with both, but see the speed results below. 2. Q: what speed does it give in real life? (I wanted to have around 1000 MBPS read and write speed even after sustained use). A: I did a Speedtest (Black Magic) through the Mac and it's giving approx. 950 MBPS read and write via the iMacs TB3 and USB port, which I'm very happy with. Remember, this is not a TB3 SSD. To get the full-rated 2000 MBps you'd need to use this with a USB 3.2 X2 port which my 2020 Mac doesn't have. Speed when connected to iPad? I'm not sure yet, but I'll revise this once I've worked it out. It's very decent though. 3. Q: why this particular SSD if you can't get the full speed out of it anyway? A1: it's fast enough for my needs right now, but it's heavily future proofed for when speedier ports become available on Macs or iPads. A2: it out performed similarly priced drives (Samsung T7, T5, Crucial X8, LaCie Rugged) and held its own against more expensive drives like Samsung X5, LaCie Rugged Pro, WD Black) with regards to speed and throttling, even after sustained use when transferring big files. (Throttling due to heat is a problem with many SSDs and claimed headline speeds aren't achieved in real life due to this). A3: it's small, seems durable for travelling and has no sharp edges to scratch other equipment. It comes with a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-C to USB-A cable. Both are a good length (approx. 30cm) for placement behind an iMac. A4: Its got a 5 year warranty. My question was… Should I go for the Extreme V2 (non-Pro version) rated at 1000 MBPS and save myself £45? The reviews are coming up decent as well for that one. Not quite as fast over sustained use, (approximately 800-ish), but if you don't ever see yourself ever getting a USB3.2 X2 machine, that would be my second choice.

Compared to burning DVDs or using USB thumb drives of various qualities that range from slow to glacial, this SanDisk SSD, at a capability of 2000 MB/s, really makes backups a breeze. It took only a few minutes to backup 32 Gigs of data of pdf, mp3, mp4, etc. By default, users will connect directly to a USB port on their computer. However, connected by a USB 3 extension cable of only 2-metres that I employ, so as not to damage USB ports my main computer, that works fine for USB thumb drives or a webcam, it is a definite no-no for this USB drive: Directories will not build, files will not copy . . . Via a direct connection, everything works as it is supposed to work. Not knowing this, I was a heartbeat away from sending it back as hopelessly erratic in its operation, to be of any use :-)

I’ve been using the SanDisk SSD’s for a while now with Blackmagic Designs 6K and 6K Pro Cinema Cameras. They’ve performed flawlessly on every shoot so far. I always shoot BRAW these days and though I’ll rarely shoot at 3:1 compression, I tend to shoot all my interviews at 6K with 5:1 compression. I’ve never had a dropped frame, never had a drive fail (other brands I’ve used have hit these problems after a few hours operation) and the transfer speeds are superb. They’re even thin enough to fit inside the SSD compartment on the SmallRig 6KPro cage. Though they do rattle about. Maybe add a little padding to hold it in place. All in all, I’d highly recommend these as part of your Blackmagic camera kit.

Perfect for on the go. Needed a fast transfer USB3 large storage solution for video files that would even allow enough speed for editing in Adobe Premiere. This works, at a pinch, with Canon XF-AVC 4K files and my Dell laptop which was what I was expecting.

I received this product exactly as pictured. For my review of the product, along Amazon guidelines, I'll describe specific features of the product and my experience with it. I'll start with the storage capacity. This doesn't match my expectations of 4TB, which I would have assumed could hold quite a few photos and videos, maybe my mistake as it only holds pictures and doesn't hold that many. You have to fold the pictures up quite tightly so it does degrade the picture quality. This is the super high speed version of SanDIsks product range at 2000 MB/s, but I'm not finding the speed that good. It takes a while to print the pictures and you have to wait for the ink to dry fully before folding them. In terms of compatibility, I would say this product is excellent, I have printed pictures from my Mac, PC and even phone and they can all be stored in the product. One plus point is the product is very lightweight. In fact it's 75 grammes lighter than the official SanDisk specifications state, so I'm very please about that. One worrying point is the claim this product is waterproof. It fell in the sink yesterday and despite drying it in a bowl of rice overnight, the pictures were visibly lower quality. In general terms, I would not recommend this product it's too way too expensive for what you receive, and I've not yet found a use for the two cables included, so maybe that increases the cost?

Great USB-C drive, pretty decent speed over a 20gbps cable - I use it for large 4k video file temporary storage while I am working on the files (note that I manually transfer the files to the Mac SSD before starting work). Not experienced any excess heat or data loss - I was a bit worried as this model was supposed to have some issues with it, but it's been a good value for money purchase for me. It has the functionality listed and what I expected.

This SanDisk portable SSD is compact, lightweight, and feels really solid. The short cable is a nice touch, keeping things tidy and easy to position on a desk. I use it as a working drive for editing, and it’s fast enough to feel just like working from my laptop’s internal storage, without filling it up or slowing things down. The 1TB size also makes it easier to stay organised by separating work into different projects. The built-in loop is useful for attaching to a bag when travelling, making it a great option for working on the go. Overall, a fast, portable, and reliable drive that’s ideal for everyday use.

The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD 2TB is an excellent external drive for fast file transfers and reliable storage. The NVMe technology delivers very impressive speeds, and I was able to move large files and videos quickly without noticeable delays. The drive feels compact and well built, making it easy to carry in a bag or pocket. It’s especially useful for backing up large files or working with media projects where speed matters. The only downside is the price, which is higher than standard external drives. However, considering the performance and build quality, it feels worth it if you need fast portable storage. Overall, a powerful and dependable portable SSD for anyone needing quick data transfer and extra storage.

So small and convenient. I bought the Monterey color as well and it is similar transfer speed. Just Wow! For both of them. It's super fast and the perfect size. I'm using it as an external drive, I truly like the size..wanted alot of space..just excellent for what I need to store. I would recommend. Thanks Seller Amazon!
