Blazing Fast and Rugged - Perfect for Work
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a portable SSD that could keep up with my demanding photo and video editing workflow, and the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 2TB has absolutely delivered. From the moment I plugged it in, I was impressed by the speed and overall performance. Speed is King: This thing is FAST. Transferring large RAW photo and 4K video files is incredibly quick compared to my older portable drives. The NVMe technology really makes a difference. I'm seeing sustained read and write speeds that are perfect for working directly off the drive in editing software. No more waiting around for files to load or render! Rugged and Ready for Anything: The "Extreme Pro" name isn't just marketing hype. This drive feels incredibly solid and well-built. The rubberized coating gives it a nice grip and makes me feel confident taking it on location without worrying too much about bumps or knocks. While I haven't intentionally abused it, it definitely feels like it can handle the rigors of being tossed in a bag and taken on the go. Portable Powerhouse: Despite the ruggedness and speed, it's still incredibly compact and lightweight. It easily fits in my pocket or camera bag. The included USB-C cable is convenient, and the compatibility with USB-C and USB-A (with an adapter, not included) is great for connecting to all sorts of devices. 2TB of Reliable Storage: Having 2TB of fast storage in this small of a package is a game-changer. I can carry entire projects with me without needing to worry about running out of space. SanDisk is a brand I trust for reliability, and this drive feels like it will last. Minor Nitpicks (but not dealbreakers): If I had to be picky, the included USB-C cable is a little short for desktop use, but easily replaceable. Also, it can get a little warm during very heavy sustained transfers, but it's never been alarmingly hot and performance hasn't been affected. Overall: If you need a portable SSD that prioritizes speed, ruggedness, and reliability for demanding tasks like photo/video editing, content creation, or just moving large files quickly, the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 2TB is an outstanding choice. It's a bit of an investment, but the performance and peace of mind are absolutely worth it. Highly recommended! Pros: Blazing fast NVMe speeds Extremely rugged and durable design Compact and portable 2TB of spacious storage Reliable SanDisk brand Cons: Included USB-C cable is a bit short Can get slightly warm during heavy use (but not problematic) Price may be a bit premium for some (but worth it for performance) Would I recommend this to a friend? Absolutely, without hesitation.

DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A MAC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE A MAC. You will NOT get advertised speed. It gets even worse if you update to Ventura. I'm am currently getting speed of less than 500mb's write and 650 read. A lot less then 2,000 mbs advertised speed

Surprising transfer speed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded my external hard drive. I was taken aback on how fast the transfer speed was in comparison to my old external drive. This little thing is much more compact. Slimline and lightweight in addition the speeds are much faster in transferring and accessing my files.

Used this for 3 years and wont go back
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The SanDisk Extreme Pro 2TB has been a solid external drive for handling video and photo projects. Transfer speeds are excellent — moving multi-gigabyte files happens in minutes, and editing directly off the drive is smooth with no stutter. The rugged build is a plus; I’ve tossed it in my bag for shoots, and it’s held up well against bumps and dust. The USB-C connection works seamlessly with both my Mac and PC setups. It also stays relatively cool compared to other SSDs I’ve used under heavy transfers. The only drawback is the price — it’s not the cheapest option — but for speed and reliability, it feels justified. If you need dependable portable storage for professional work, this SSD does the job extremely well.

So larage yet so small

This is compact, small, and attractive. It stores a lot of data easily and quickly. I have found SanDisk to be reliable. If you own a pc in 2025, external storage is required.
