Description

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 1TB is a rugged and compact external solid-state drive with a formatted capacity of 1 TB. Its durable design is a key feature, with an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance, and a shock-resistant core that can handle drops from up to 6.5 feet (1.98 meters). The drive is an excellent companion for field work and travel.

Underneath its tough exterior, the drive utilizes an internal NVMe SSD connected via a fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface (10 Gbps). This combination allows for blazing-fast sequential read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s. These speeds are ideal for quickly offloading high-resolution photos and videos, or for editing content directly from the drive without a performance penalty. The drive is bus-powered, drawing all necessary power from the USB connection.

For added security, the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection. The included SanDisk SecureAccess software makes it easy to set up password-protected folders to keep sensitive files safe. The drive is compatible with both Windows and macOS and comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter, ensuring wide-ranging compatibility with modern and older devices. A small carabiner loop is integrated into the design, allowing it to be clipped to a belt loop or backpack for easy transport and security.
