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

Storage & Memory

Our Take

The Extreme PRO is SanDisk's flagship portable SSD, aimed at photographers, videographers and anyone shifting large files who needs speed without a fragile drive. It sits at the premium end of the portable SSD market, competing with Samsung's T7/T9 range. Rated up to 2000MB/s, it's built to survive life outside a laptop bag rather than sit on a desk.

Key Features

Sequential read/write speeds up to 2000MB/s (requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host port to hit that figure)

USB-C connector, backwards compatible with USB 3.2/3.1/3.0 ports at reduced speed

IP65 rating, so it resists dust ingress and water jets

Forged aluminium casing wrapped in a rubberised silicone bumper

Rated to survive a 2-metre drop

Included USB-C to USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables in the box

Our Verdict

Worth the outlay if you regularly move huge files and own hardware that can actually exploit the top speed, or if you need a drive that can survive rain and rough handling. If your laptop only has standard USB-C or USB-A ports, the non-Pro Extreme model will save you money for very similar everyday performance.

What We Like

Genuinely fast transfers for large video or RAW photo files, when paired with a compatible port
Rugged build feels reassuring for location work or travel
Compact and light enough to slip in a pocket
Comes with both cable types, so it works with laptops and most phones/tablets out of the box

Things to Consider

Real-world speeds depend heavily on having a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port; older laptops will see roughly half the rated speed
No physical bundled software or encryption key included, unlike some rivals
Noticeably pricier per GB than standard (non-Pro) portable SSDs
No carry case included, just the bare drive and cables
