SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD, USB-C USB 3.2 Gen 2, External NVMe Solid State Drive, up to 1050 MB/s, IP65 rated for dust and water resistance

Product Information

As for IOPS - what is the point of testing the device outside of its designed enclosure if it is forever going to be used in the enclosure? I can test portable SSDs' IOPS perfectly fine as they come. They are not going to be used as internal SSDs, only as portables. So, comparing the performance without the bridge chip they come with is irrelevant. And again, I've already reviewed the internal devices as linked above. ;)

Save time storing and transferring data with the forged aluminum chassis that also acts as a heatsink to deliver higher sustained speeds. We devote hundreds of hours of rigorous testing to help make sure your drive is worthy of your best work — and so you know your precious files are in good hands. Also you need to tear down the External drives in each review to see which NVME SSD is in there ... it will also help you to determine TBW/IOPS if the external drive does not say just by discovering which NVME SSD they are using inside.

A Content Creator's Dream SSD\u2014With a Catch

SanDisk Extreme Pro leverages our lightning-fast in-house NVMe technology to dramatically increase transfer speeds to up to 1050 MB/s 6 and fully saturate the USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface. 6 So you’ll be able to edit right from the drive – providing full-frame editing with little interruption while saving you time and keeping your computer’s internal storage free. SanDisk provides a generous five-year warranty, which we have also seen on other Western Digital products such as the 2020 version of the My Passport SSD. (WD is SanDisk's parent company.) We’re looking for 2TB superfast, extremely rugged, IP67+ rated external solid state drives. That disqualifies the likes of the popular Samsung T7 Touch which is not waterproof. Danke dass sie sich die Mühe gemacht haben meine Rezension zu lesen. Ich hoffe ich konnte hiermit bei der Entscheidungsfindung helfen. Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

There are plenty of external storage solutions out in the market, but very few of them will be as durable as the Extreme Pro Portable SSD. It’s got great transfer speeds to keep you going, plenty of storage, and comes in a variety of storage sizes. Restart your computer and press the F2 key or any key according to your PC to enter BIOS interface. Can you please gather the best NVME external boxes in the market and test them with something like Samsung 970 Evo Plus or 970 pro ? make a round up ? and see if they reach 3000MB/s ??? Da ich bereits gute Erfahrungen mit verschiedenen SanDisk Speichermedien sammeln konnte habe ich mich für diese Festplatte entschieden. Warum ich nicht die schnellere Version gewählt habe kann man oben im Text lesen falls es interessiert. The Sandisk Professional G-Drive is not your bog standard external drive. Not only is it rugged, it also comes with a five-year warranty but fails to match Seagate’s Rescue Data Recovery Service which is now bundled for free, with quite a few mainstream external SSD (like the recently reviewed Seagate OneTouch 1TB external SSD ).Another thing about the flash memory is the indurance of the cell, how many times the memory cell accepts write/erase cycles until it starts to "wear" and not store anymore the information. That number is in the hundreds now days. If you read correctly the specification of an SSD drive, you will find a specification called "TBW", total bytes written. Dividing that number by the capacity of the drives yields the number of erase/write cycles that will wear the cells. Given that the drive is HFS+ formatted out of the box, you will have to reformat the G-Drive to use it with Windows 10, which implies a detour via Computer Management to launch Disk Management and create the partition. Once that was done, we managed to reach a real life performance (moving a single 10GB file using Windows Explorer) of just under 400MBps while various benchmarks (AJA, CDM, ATTO and AS SSD) show that the write speeds ranged between 947 and 1041MBps while the read speeds reached up to 1064. Not bad at all. From SanDisk, the brand professional photographers worldwide trust to handle best shots on their toughest assignments.

Choose to initialize the disk as MBR or GPT style in the pop-up window. Learn the difference between MBR and GPT from here. The Extreme PRO® SSD works with PCs and Mac™ computers right out of the box and connects with USB Type C and Type A, 3 making it easy to start and keep working in almost any situation. Also, that enclosure is made with an older Alpine Ridge TB3 controller, not titan ridge or newer like on some of these portable SSDs. So, its older tech. Die Leistung der Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Datenübertragung erfolgte blitzschnell, was bei der Bearbeitung und Übertragung großer Dateien äußerst vorteilhaft ist. Die integrierte 256-Bit-AES-Verschlüsselung verleiht mir zudem ein Gefühl der Sicherheit, wenn ich sensible Daten darauf speichere.

Customer Reviews

USB 3.2 Gen 1 (a.k.a. the old USB 3.0), typically good enough a ceiling for older external SSDs with SATA-based silicon, caps read and write speeds for external SSDs at about 550MBps and 500MBps respectively. While you can use the Extreme Pro V2 drive with any of these interfaces, buying it without provision for a Gen 2x2 interface would be like buying a Corvette for runs to the grocery store.

Hier verstehe ich den Nutzen nicht wirklich. Mir ist NICHT wichtig wie schnell eine Festplatte arbeiten KÖNNTE, sondern wie schnell sie an meinen Geräten arbeitet. Ich habe einen 4,7GB großen Ordner vom Tablet (iPad Air 5) auf die Platte übertragen und dies in ca. 10 Sekunden. Wenn die Langlebigkeit so wie bei meinen anderen Speichermedien von SanDisk ist bin ich mehr als zufrieden.Editor’s Note, August 17, 2023: As recently reported in Ars Technica , a critical mass of users on SanDisk’s forums and Reddit have reported failures of some SanDisk Extreme, Extreme Pro, Extreme V2, and Extreme Pro V2 SSDs, resulting in data loss, as well as the drives becoming unreadable/unmountable. In May, parent company WD released firmware updates for the 4TB SanDisk Extreme, as well as the 4TB, 2TB, and 1TB Extreme Pro models, plus the 4TB Western Digital My Passport, but complaints continue. We are doing our own stress-testing of the sample drives we originally reviewed. As of today, however, we no longer recommend buying any of the aforementioned SSDs, until we are satisfied the issue has been resolved. ( A class-action suit has been levied against WD surrounding issues with these drives.) We have left our original review in place here for reference.] Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. Because all portable SSD are a box with internal off the shelves NVME SSD .. I am 100% sure you will find the same Version of SANDISK Extreme Pro as a stand alone NVME ... Für alle die keine Lust haben sich alles durchzulesen schreibe ich am Ende ein Pro und Kontra sowie ein Fazit.
