Overview

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2 is a fast external hard drive suitable for photographers, videographers, content creators, or those who need fast data transfer and high security. It uses the latest USB 3.2 Gen 2 standard with a Type-C connector and transfer speeds of up to 1050MB/s, compared to USB 3.0 at less than half that speed. The drive comes in four capacities of 500GB, 1TB, 2TB and 4TB.

The rugged case, rated at IP55 dust and water-resistant, can withstand a two-meter drop and has a carabiner loop to attach the drive to a belt or backpack. SanDisk is confident enough to give this drive a limited 5-year warranty which speaks volumes.

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2 supports password-protected AES 256-bit hardware encryption to secure your data and comes with a free Android app called Memory Zone that lets you unlock, access, and back up your phone’s files in one location.
