Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum theoretical read/write speed of this SSD?

The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable NVMe SSD offers up to 2000MB/s read and 2000MB/s write speeds, achievable when connected via a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port.

Does this drive require a specific type of USB port?

It uses a USB Type-C connector. For maximum speeds (2000MB/s), a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port is required. It is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2), USB 3.0, and USB 2.0, but speeds will be limited by the port's capabilities.

Is the data on the drive encrypted?

Yes, the drive supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption, which can be enabled using the SanDisk Security software for password protection.

What does IP55 resistance mean?

IP55 rating means the drive is protected against dust ingress (limited protection, not dust-tight) and protected against water jets from any direction (limited, does not protect against immersion).

How durable is the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD?

It offers up to 2-meter drop protection and IP55 water and dust resistance, making it suitable for rugged use. However, it is still an electronic device and should be handled with care.

What operating systems are supported?

The drive is generally compatible with Windows and macOS operating systems. Ensure your OS is up to date for best performance and compatibility.

What is included in the box?

The drive typically includes the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD and a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable.

What is the warranty period for this SSD?

The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD comes with a 5-year limited warranty.

Troubleshooting

Drive not recognized by computer

Ensure the USB Type-C cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. If using password protection, ensure it is unlocked. Check if the drive needs formatting if it's brand new or was previously used on a different OS without proper ejection.

Slow transfer speeds

Verify that your computer's USB port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 for maximum speeds. If not, speeds will be lower. Ensure no other demanding applications are running that could be using system resources. Check for driver updates for your USB controller.

Password protection not working

Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of the SanDisk Security software from the official SanDisk website. Ensure you are entering the correct password. If you have forgotten your password, data recovery might not be possible due to hardware encryption.

Drive disconnects intermittently

Check the USB cable for damage. Ensure a stable power supply to your computer's USB ports. Try connecting to a different port, preferably one directly on the motherboard (for desktops) or a higher-powered port.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast read/write speeds ideal for large files and video editing.
  • Rugged design with drop, water, and dust resistance for field use.
  • Hardware-based encryption offers strong data security.
  • Large 4TB capacity accommodates extensive project libraries.
  • Acts as a heatsink to maintain high speeds during continuous use.

Cons

  • Requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port to achieve maximum 2000MB/s speeds; many systems may not support this.
  • The USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 connector can be less common than standard USB-C.
  • The bright orange color may not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • While durable, it is still an electronic device and requires careful handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD to your computer using the included USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable.
  2. If your computer has a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port, you will achieve the maximum speeds.
  3. If your computer only has USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) or USB 3.0 ports, the drive will still function but at slower speeds.
  4. For password protection and encryption, download and install the SanDisk Security software available from the SanDisk website.

Compatibility:

  • Operating Systems: Generally compatible with Windows and macOS. For optimal performance, ensure your operating system is up to date.
  • Ports: Requires a USB Type-C port. For maximum speed, a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port is needed. It is backward compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.1, and USB 3.0, but speeds will be limited by the port's capabilities.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the drive to extreme temperatures outside its operating range (-20°C to 85°C storage, 0°C to 45°C operating).
  • While resistant to water and dust (IP55), do not submerge the drive.
  • Keep the USB Type-C connector clean and free from debris.
  • To ensure longevity, perform safe ejection of the drive before unplugging it from your computer.
