FAQs

What is the maximum read and write speed of this SSD?

The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD offers sequential read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s. Actual performance may vary depending on host hardware, software, usage, and drive capacity.

Does this SSD work with my smartphone?

It can work with smartphones that support USB Type-C connectivity and external storage. However, compatibility and performance may vary by device, and mobile operating systems might have limitations on external drive access.

How do I set up the password protection?

You need to download and install the SanDisk SecureAccess software from the SanDisk website. Once installed, you can create a password-protected vault on the SSD to store your sensitive files.

Is the drive truly waterproof?

The drive has an IP55 rating, which means it is resistant to dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets. It is not designed for submersion in water and should be dried thoroughly if exposed.

What types of cables are included in the box?

The drive comes with two cables: one USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable and one USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable.

Can I use this SSD for gaming?

Yes, its fast speeds can improve game loading times if you install games directly onto the SSD and your system meets the requirements for game storage.

Does this SSD require external power?

No, the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD is powered via the USB connection and does not require a separate power adapter.

Troubleshooting

Drive is not recognized by the computer.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the drive and the computer. Try a different USB port or a different compatible cable. If using USB Type-C, ensure your port supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 or higher for optimal performance. Check Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to see if the drive appears there.

Slow transfer speeds.

Verify that you are using a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) or faster USB Type-C port on your computer. Ensure the drive is not overheating; allow it to cool if necessary. Check that you are not bottlenecked by other processes on your computer or the source/destination drive if transferring between two storage devices.

Password protection not working.

Ensure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of SanDisk SecureAccess software. Try reformatting the drive (backing up data first) and setting up password protection again. Confirm you are using the correct password.

Drive shows errors or is inaccessible.

Safely eject the drive, disconnect it, and reconnect it. If the issue persists, run a disk check utility (like `chkdsk` on Windows or Disk Utility's First Aid on macOS) to scan for and repair errors. Back up any recoverable data immediately if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast read/write speeds up to 2000 MB/s.
  • Durable construction with drop and water/dust resistance.
  • Built-in heatsink for sustained performance.
  • Hardware encryption for data security.
  • Compact and portable design with a carabiner loop.

Cons

  • Maximum speeds may require compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2 or higher ports on the host device.
  • Can become warm during extended high-speed transfers, though the heatsink mitigates throttling.
  • The included cables are relatively short.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD to your computer using either the included USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable or the USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable, depending on your available ports.
  2. Your computer should automatically detect the drive. If prompted, follow any on-screen instructions for formatting or driver installation.
  3. For password protection, download and install the SanDisk SecureAccess software from the SanDisk website.

Compatibility:

  • Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS v10.13 or later.
  • Ports: Requires a USB Type-C or USB Type-A port. For maximum speeds (up to 2000 MB/s), a USB 3.2 Gen 2 (3.1 Gen 2) or USB4 port is recommended.

Care:

  • Avoid exposing the drive to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
  • Keep the drive clean and free from excessive dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning; avoid liquids.
  • While rugged, prolonged submersion in water is not recommended. Ensure the drive is dry before connecting after exposure to moisture.
  • Safely eject the drive from your computer before disconnecting it physically to prevent data corruption.
