Our Take

SanDisk's Extreme Portable SSD is a pocket-sized external drive aimed at photographers, videographers and anyone needing fast, rugged backup storage on the move. The 2TB model offers a solid middle ground between capacity and price in SanDisk's range, competing with Samsung's T7 series. It's built for outdoor and travel use rather than desk-bound bulk storage.

Key Features

USB-C connection using USB 3.2 Gen 2, with a USB-A cable also included in the box

Rated up to 550MB/s sequential read speed

IP55 rating for resistance to dust and water splashes

Rubberised, textured exterior designed to cushion against drops

Integrated carabiner loop-out for clipping to a bag

Compact, lightweight design that easily fits in a pocket

Our Verdict

A dependable choice for anyone who shoots photo or video on location and needs durable, reasonably fast portable storage without paying premium prices for top-tier speed. If you need the fastest possible transfers for large video workflows, look at NVMe-based drives instead; for everyday backup and travel use, this is a sound buy.

What We Like

  • Genuinely quick transfer speeds for large photo and video files
  • Tough, weather-resistant build that suits location work
  • Small and light enough to carry everywhere
  • Wide device compatibility out of the box

Things to Consider

  • Slower than NVMe-based rivals advertising 1000MB/s+ speeds
  • No USB-C to USB-C cable length options beyond the short one supplied
  • Rubber casing can pick up fluff and dust over time
  • Street prices for competitors' faster drives are often similar
