Description

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 500GB is a compact external solid-state drive with a formatted capacity of 500 GB. It is built to withstand the rigors of field work and travel, featuring an IP55 rating for water and dust resistance and a durable silicone shell that protects against drops from up to 6.5 feet (1.98 meters). The drive connects via a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface (10 Gbps) and is bus-powered, meaning it doesn’t require an external power adapter.

The drive leverages a fast internal NVMe SSD to deliver exceptional performance, with sequential read speeds of up to 1,050 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s. This speed is crucial for tasks like offloading high-resolution photos and videos from a camera, or for editing content directly from the drive. For security, it features 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection to keep your private content 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 for broad compatibility. A handy carabiner loop on the corner allows you to clip it to a belt loop or backpack for added security.
