SanDisk 1TB Extreme PRO Portable External SSD - Up to 1050MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.1 - SDSSDE80-1T00-A25

Need more store

ive only had this a short while, so all i can say is - so far so good.

I was previously using SanDisk Extreme SSDs (1TB and 2TB) and then purchased this Extreme PRO SSD of 500GB capacity, thinking I would get around 1000MB/s read speed, but its not. Surprisingly write speed is more than the read, 913 MB/s write against 886 MB/s read.

Works perfectly, just plug it in. I have COD installed on it and its fast enough to game.

Super nice

this is my second sandisk SSD. I was already quite happy with my Extreme SSD 500Gb from 2018, but needed larger capacity and faster speeds. I read the reviews and was tempted for a while with the samsung T7. However, I heard about throttling issues there, and decided to go for the Extreme Pro. my 700Gb backup was so quick I had to run it a second time and check files to see it for myself. The device is larger than the Extreme, a bit thicker, but still very pocketable and feels higher end and solid. The speed was simply amazing. Such a increase in productivity. Note that I have re-formatted on NTFS and installed the latest version of bitlocker for Windows 10 for security. I use auto-unlock. Thank you Sandisk!

So I got this could be about a year ago or so to replace my then Time Capsule which was being used for backup but then began giving trouble backing up getting stuck in the process. I went with this because I know SanDisk to be a good brand and of course cant beat SSD drive-wise.

I have never had a faster external hard drive. Both for large files, and when copying lots of little files. It gets warm, but not too hot. It runs silently. Between my 2015 MBP and my 2020 MPB, they are both fast, but there is a noticeable boost in speed when copying to/from the newer laptop. This thing blows away my old HDD based external hard drives and I will be taking a drill press to them soon.

Pleased with the heavy duty-seeming dongle cord, which is especially helpful with laptops where it gets torqued around during use pretty good. The drive itself runs a little warm. R/W is nice and fast, and it helps a lot to run our media files from there to speed up our Adobe Premiere and After Effects projects by quite a bit.

SanDisk has an inability to wrote software. The app doesnt see the drive most of time. It just keeps flashing and screen twitching. Absolutely useless app. impossible to use on android. PC experience is not much better.
