SKU CH-X044-8XSS3

  • NVMe performance delivers up to 1050MB/s read speeds
  • IP55 rating resists water flow and dust ingress
  • 256-bit AES hardware encryption protects private files
  • Carabiner loop secures drive to belt or backpack
  • SanDisk Memory Zone app manages files and frees space

Capacity and speed

This SanDisk Extreme portable SSD delivers two terabytes of NVMe solid-state storage with sequential reads up to 1050MB/s and writes up to 1000MB/s. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 using a USB-C interface for fast transfers on compatible hosts. The drive is built for creatives and professionals who need high-capacity, high-speed external storage that can travel with them.

Rugged upgrade from basic drives

The IP55 rating and two-metre drop protection replace fragile mechanical drives or unprotected flash storage when work moves outdoors or between sites. Hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption adds a security layer that software-only solutions cannot match. The jump is worth it when your workflow demands both physical durability and data privacy in a single compact enclosure.

Host compatibility and software setup

Verify that your device provides a USB-C port running USB 3.0 or higher to reach the advertised speeds; older ports will still work but at reduced throughput. Windows 8, Windows 10 and macOS 10.9 or later are supported for the included encryption and SanDisk Memory Zone app, though the Mac software requires a separate download. Ensure the drive is clean and dry before use to maintain its IP55 seal.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5-inch form factor need a mounting bracket or can it sit flat?

The drive is a compact portable enclosure with a built-in carabiner loop, so it sits flat on any surface or clips to a bag without extra brackets.

What is the correct way to enable the 256-bit AES hardware encryption on Windows 10?

Download the SanDisk Security software from the official site, set a password, and the drive will lock automatically when unplugged; skipping the software leaves the volume unencrypted.

After frequent outdoor use, what should be checked before plugging the IP55-rated drive into a USB-C port?

Ensure the housing is clean and dry, inspect the USB-C connector for dust or moisture, and wipe it gently if needed to maintain the IP55 seal.
