QuestionThe specs on this device states that it uses 128-bit encryption algorithm but I've seen other info which says it should have 256-bit encryption algorithm. Is this a typo ? If not, which version of this 2TB SSD Portable uses 256 ?
Asked 4 years ago by Curious.
- Answer This model [ Model:SDSSDE61-2T00-G25 / SKU:6427551 ] your question posted to is 256-bit. Another model with the same 2TB storage size is 128-bit [ Model:SDSSDE81-2T00-G25 / SKU:6427554 ]. The differences between the two models are the read/write specs and the price. The 256-bit models has a lower read/write speed, and the price is lower. The 128-bit has 2x the read/write speed and the price.

QuestionCan it accept input from SD card reader?
Asked 1 year ago by Credo.
- Answer Not directly, as, how would you transfer from a card reader only ? But if the card reader is plugged into a PC/Laptop and the SSD is also plugged on the same computer, you can transfer the SD card content to the SSD, bypassing any storing on the computer itself.

- Answer Hello, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused by your SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB SSD. This issue may be related to file system corruption, possibly caused by unsafe ejection, power interruption or formatting issue. We recommend formatting the drive after backing up your existing data using another device as formatting storage is a data destruction process.
