Portable NVMe storage

This SanDisk Extreme portable SSD delivers up to 1050 MB/s read and 1000 MB/s write speeds over USB 3.2 Gen 2. The 1 TB drive uses NVMe technology in a compact, rugged enclosure rated IP55 for water and dust resistance. A built-in carabiner loop lets you clip it to a bag or belt, and it survives drops of up to two metres.

Who it suits and who it doesn't

The drive suits photographers, videographers and mobile professionals who need fast, encrypted external storage that withstands rain, dust and knocks. It includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection for Windows 8, Windows 10 and macOS 10.9 or later. Buyers who need higher sustained throughput for internal workloads or who want a drive without the rugged housing should consider other options.

Deciding specification

The critical figure is the USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface with up to 1050 MB/s sequential read speed; if your host port is limited to USB 3.2 Gen 1 or USB 2.0 you will not reach the advertised performance.

Questions about this item

Which host interface do I need on my computer to reach the 1050MB/s read speed?

A USB 3.2 Gen 2 port is required; slower ports will reduce the transfer rate.

Will the IP55 rating protect the drive if I keep using an older USB 3.0 cable?

Yes, the IP55 water and dust resistance is a property of the enclosure itself and does not depend on the cable generation.

How can I verify that the 256-bit AES hardware encryption is active after I set a password?

The SanDisk software will show the drive as locked until the correct password is entered, confirming encryption is working.
