SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 1TB up to 550MB/s read Solid State Drive

Product Information

We saw some good numbers here, with the caveat that the Type-C connector – not Type-A – was used. This little SanDisk product outperformed all non-Thunderbolt 3 drives we’ve tested with CrystalDiskMark, delivering nearly 560MBps in terms of read speed and just over 500MBps in write. A 100GB file was transferred in 294 seconds, which equates to a transfer rate of about 334MBps.

This is WD's latest version of its popular MyPassport SSD, not to be confused with the previous incarnation which is still on sale. The new version has a smoother, more rounded design, but while it looks different, it still goes by the exact same My Passport SSD name, just for that little extra confusion. Connection type: For this review we primarily considered portable SSDs with USB-C connectors, which are replacing older, slower USB Type-A ports on thinner laptops. But all the drives come with either a Type-A adapter or a separate cable to ensure compatibility with the desktop PCs, laptops, gaming consoles, and tablets you may have around your home. As a result, you still get the best speeds that your computer can handle, and your drive will be able to keep up with newer devices in the future. Was heutzutage nicht mehr ganz „up to date“ ist, ist das beigelegte USB-C auf USB-A Kabel. Dies wird sicherlich daher kommen, dass es die Platte bereits seit mehreren Jahren auf dem Markt ist. Ein USB-C auf USB-C Kabel wäre heutzutage für viele sicherlich nützlicher. Dies soll die Bewertung allerdings nicht beeinflussen, da man ein Kabel sicherlich entweder rumliegen hat oder sich im schlimmsten Fall für ein paar Euro einen Adapter oder ein Kabel kaufen kann. Man sollte es nur vorab wissen. Some drives are pre-configured for either Mac or Windows. This can almost always be changed with the right software. Kompakte Größe: Die SSD von SanDisk ist wirklich klein und handlich. Sie passt problemlos in die Tasche, was sie zu einer hervorragenden Wahl für Menschen macht, die unterwegs sind und einen zuverlässigen Speicherplatz benötigen. Die kompakte Größe ermöglicht es, sie überallhin mitzunehmen, ohne viel Platz einzunehmen.From SanDisk, the brand professional photographers worldwide trust to handle their best shots and footage. 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. The Extreme Portable SSD comes pre-formatted as an exFAT device which means that it can work on Windows and Mac out of the box. Reformattingit to NTFS will limit compatibility to Windows but will enable TRIM which will improve the longevity of the drive. Wenn die Langlebigkeit so wie bei meinen anderen Speichermedien von SanDisk ist bin ich mehr als zufrieden.

Indicator light: Some drives have an LED indicator that lights up when the drive is connected to your device, and although this indicator is not a requirement, we found it useful.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. The ADATA SE730H is another competitor that perhaps deserves more recognition. It is smaller than the SanDisk Extreme Portable, slight cheaper, and sports an IP68 rating making it far more resilient. Like the Extreme, it has a Type-C connector, a three-year warranty and uses 3D NAND Flash technology – but it is slightly slower and comes from a lesser-known brand.

Don’t expect even an SSD to transfer a large batch of image files as fast as it’ll shift a single video file of the same size. What's more, the drive is also well-made and durable - it's designed to survive being dunked in water or being dropped from 2m - which gives you confidence that your files will be kept safe.

When used with a USB Type-C cable, the SanDisk Extreme rises above the competition with some stellar numbers. The design and form factor are spot on and while we have one reservation regarding the bundled cable, you can’t go wrong at this price. Creative professionals know the value of storage space. With capacities of up to 2TB, 5 you’ll have enough room for the files you need to work on or deliver. Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: Inside the toughened shell is a fast SSD which SanDisk claims can transfer data at up to 560MB/s - impressive stuff. The drive connects via an up-to-date USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C connection, though a Type-A converter is included to maintain compatibility with older computers. Bei vielen Geräten wird die maximale Geschwindigkeit sowieso nicht erreicht und mir langen als Privatperson die Übertragungsgeschwindigkeiten.
