About this deal

As well as offering a mobile store for images or video, the Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 can be used as a working drive while editing video and, with the right computer, you can expect stutter-free editing and viewing. You will need to have a compatible host device to make the most out of this Extreme Pro v2. Sadly, we didn’t have anything at hand to test its claimed performance. We suspect that a lot of potential customers will buy the drive and expect read/write speeds of up to 2GBps (as per the numbers on the box). The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable V2 is also the only one of the two to come with a forged aluminum chassis that functions as a heat sink. The SanDisk Extreme Pro V2 supports the latest and fastest USB flavor (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, also called SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps), which offers transfer speeds of up to 2,000MBps for both read and write when connected to a compatible USB-C port. It tested just short of that (1,909MBps read, 1,919MBps write) in our Crystal DiskMark 6.0 sequential read and write testing. Its scores were also a smidge under the speeds we recently saw from the Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSD (1,992MBps read, 1,967MBps write), which supports the same 2x2 interface. (See how we test SSDs.)

https://shop.westerndigital.com/products/portable-drives/sandisk-extreme-usb-3-2-ssd#SDSSDE61-500G-G25 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. Perlindungan jatuh hingga tiga meter dan ketahanan air dan debu IP65, 5 dan kait carabiner praktis untuk mengaitkannya ke sabuk atau ransel, yang semuanya menjadikan drive ini cukup tangguh untuk dibawa ke mana saja.Our tests show that the Sandisk Extreme Pro V2 performs on par with current USB 3.2 Gen 2 drives and that’s not a surprise. CrystalDiskMark, for example, hit more than 1GBps on sustained read and write speeds using default settings. The competition From SanDisk, the brand professional photographers worldwide trust to handle their best shots and footage. The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 can be bought in three capacities as you can choose between 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB. Model Number Get extra peace of mind with a 5-year limited warranty 3 and a durable silicon shell that offers a premium feel and added protection to the drive’s exterior. 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.

Like the original drive, the Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 has a hole through one corner which can be used to clip it onto your bag using a karabiner or something similar to keep it safe. Dari SanDisk, merek yang dipercayai oleh fotografer profesional di seluruh dunia untuk menangani bidikan terbaik mereka dalam pekerjaan yang paling berat.When it comes to the interface, the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2 uses USB 3.2 Gen 2, which has a bandwidth of up to 10 Gbps. The new SanDisk Extreme Pro v2 comes with some changes under the hood, too. A new ASMedia ASM2364 bridge controller communicates with the host at faster speeds because it has twice the PCIe lane count as the ASM2362, which means twice the throughput. Not only does it maintain a speedy 20 Gbps link while connected to a PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, but it also features link power management to reduce idle power consumption. The controller also supports Trim to keep performance predictable. On a positive note, the drive comes with two 9-inch cables: USB-C-to-USB-C and USB-C-to-USB-A. That's better than an awkward converter dongle.

Dapatkan ketenangan pikiran saat Anda berada di dunia luar berkat garansi terbatas 5 tahun 3 dan kombinasi pelindung silikon & casing aluminium tempa yang menawarkan tampilan premium dan perlindungan tambahan. 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.

Quick Summary

The normal version of the Extreme Portable V2 is slightly smaller than the Extreme Pro Portable V2.

The Extreme Pro is IP55 water and dust resistant and rated to withstand a two-meter drop, though we feel that is a very conservative rating. At 85 grams, the Extreme Pro has a solid and weighted feel to it. That, along with the smooth rounded silicone-coated edges, conveys an apple-esque quality. The pro version also has the advantage over the normal version when comparing the maximum sequential writing speed. The two products do come with an USB Type-C to USB Type-A adaptor, which means that you can also plug the drives to an USB Type-A port. Interface The SanDisk Extreme Portable V2 is smaller than the pro version. It is also the only one to offer a 500 GB capacity option. 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. ;)From SanDisk, the brand professional photographers worldwide trust to handle best shots on their toughest assignments. 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. Dapatkan kinerja SSD NVMe™ yang dahsyat yang memiliki kecepatan baca/tulis hingga 2000MB/dtk 2 dalam drive portabel yang cukup andal untuk dibawa dalam petualangan apa pun.
