SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, 1TB, USB-C 3.1

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is a rugged, pocket-sized drive that connects to new and old USB ports and exploits the size, speed and robustness of solid state storage. It works with Macs and PCs and is available in four models from 250GB to 2TB. It’s surprisingly compact, easily slipping into any pocket and the absence of moving parts makes it more robust and tolerant than traditional mechanical drives. The IP-55 rating allows it to shrug-off mild splashes, while the lightness means it can dangle from its short cable without damaging your ports - ideal for laptop workers who have to get up or move around. But it’s the speed that really impresses - when connected to a port that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2, like the USB-C ports on a modern Mac, it’ll achieve the quoted rates of up to 550Mbyte/s. This not only allows you to quickly backup data, but also easily free-up space to complete projects on a packed internal drive. Indeed it’s sufficiently fast for you to use it as active project storage when video editing, say to store common assets or a final render. I strongly believe everyone needs at least one portable drive, and if you value speed, size and robustness, the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is a perfect choice.
