Speed, Capacity, and Reliability – SanDisk Delivers

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

Color: BlackCapacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

I recently acquired the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance and features.

First and foremost, the speed of data transfer is exceptional. Whether I'm transferring large files, editing videos, or running applications directly from the drive, the SSD handles everything with remarkable speed and efficiency. It has significantly reduced waiting times, enhancing my overall productivity.

The 2TB storage capacity is a game-changer for those dealing with large media files or extensive data libraries. It provides ample space without compromising on portability. The compact and rugged design ensures durability, making it an ideal companion for on-the-go professionals or anyone who values data security.

The inclusion of USB-C and USB-A cables adds versatility, allowing seamless connectivity with various devices. The compatibility with both Mac and Windows systems is a definite plus.

What sets the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD apart is its durability. The robust build and IP55 water and dust resistance make it suitable for various environments, providing peace of mind during outdoor or travel use.

The drive's encryption capabilities contribute to data security, and the added bonus of a 3-year limited warranty reflects SanDisk's confidence in the product's reliability.

While the price might be slightly higher than some competitors, the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD is a worthwhile investment for those who prioritize speed, capacity, and durability. It has become an indispensable tool for my digital lifestyle, earning it a well-deserved five-star rating.

The Perfect SSD, Small, Light, Quiet, and doesn't get hot!

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

Color: MontereyCapacity: 4TBVerified Purchase

I've been using the SanDisk SSD for a while now, and it's hands down the best backup drive I've ever owned. It's small and light, and I can take it anywhere without even noticing it's in my bag.

The speed is impressive. I'm backing up my files so quickly, and it's super quiet. No annoying buzz or heat, even when I'm pushing it with larger transfers. And it feels sturdy too, which is reassuring because I'm not always gentle with my gear.

This is actually my second purchase because I love it so much. I've recommended it to all my friends and colleagues because it really is that good. Great product, great job SanDisk!

Perfect for travel photographer

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024

Color: Sky BlueCapacity: 2TBVerified Purchase

Was looking for a small, portable, and durable SSD hard drive to backup pics on travel/vacation. This SSD ticks all of those blocks. I travel with an iPad pro and my cameras, leaving the laptop at home. This allows me to travel lighter and still manage to do light post processing if I want to. One of the major issues with using an iPad to view or post process photos is that if you are shooting in RAW+JPG, only the JPG imports into the iPad. My work around, is to connect the camera and hard drive to the iPad and copy both file types to the hard drive. I am then able to pull the raw file from the hard drive into my iPad (either copying it into the iPad or opening it straight from the hard drive into Affinity Photo). This method allows me to back up my photos as I go, so really no extra steps. Nonetheless, this little SSD works great and i was surprised at just how small it really is. Easily slips into one of my external pockets on my camera backpack or camera sling bag. In fact, it is so small, i can connect it to my iPad when on a flight and work on pics without issue.
Another issue that this workflow has helped with is that one of the cameras that I travel with is the Sony A7CII. The current iPad IOS (16) does not support these RAW file types yet. However, Affinity Photo does. So, I can pull the RAW files from that camera directly from the hard drive into Affinity Photo fro iPad and edit them. If you try to save the RAW file directly to your iPad it doesn't work.

As a tech enthusiast, I recently experimented with the SanDisk 500GB Extreme Portable SSD and it has thoroughly impressed me. The most striking aspect is its speed - the read and write speeds are significantly faster than traditional hard drives, making it ideal for tasks like video editing, handling large images, or swift data transfers. Its portability is another huge plus. The SSD is compact and lightweight, perfect for those on the go, and its robust build with shock resistance adds to its appeal, ensuring data safety even in rough conditions.

Compatibility-wise, this SSD has worked flawlessly across various devices and operating systems, including both Windows and Mac, which is crucial for someone who regularly switches between different platforms. Security is well-addressed too, with the inclusion of password protection backed by 256-bit AES hardware encryption, offering peace of mind for sensitive data.

The design of the SSD is sleek and modern, and it includes practical elements like a carabiner loop for secure attachment. The 500GB capacity hits a sweet spot, providing ample storage for most tasks without the need for unnecessary extra space. Finally, considering its array of features and overall performance, the SSD stands out as a good value for money, making it a solid choice for professionals or anyone in need of reliable, fast external storage. Overall, the SanDisk 500GB Extreme Portable SSD is a top-tier option for tech aficionados seeking a balance of speed, durability, portability, and security in their external storage devices.
