Our take on the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 1 TB

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is an external USB-C drive rated at up to 1,000 MB/s read and write over USB 3.2 Gen 2. It is built for travel: a rubberized shell, a metal ring for a carabiner, and a stated 2-meter drop and IP55 dust and water rating. It suits photographers, videographers and anyone moving large files between machines. Against Samsung's T7 it trades a little peak speed for tougher sealing, and it is far faster than any spinning portable hard drive.

Questions and answers

Is it fast enough for 4K video editing?: Yes for editing off the drive at 4K. It reads and writes at up to 1,000 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2, which handles 4K footage comfortably. Very large sustained copies slow down once the cache fills.
Does it work with a Mac?: Yes. It connects over USB-C and works with macOS, Windows, Android and iPadOS. It comes formatted for exFAT or APFS depending on the version, so check the format before switching systems.
Is it waterproof?: It carries an IP55 rating, which means resistance to dust and low-pressure water jets, not submersion. It survives rain and splashes but should not be dropped in water.
How does it compare with the Samsung T7?: Both are 10 Gbps USB-C drives with similar peak speeds. The SanDisk adds an IP55 rating and a drop rating, while the T7 is slightly smaller and often a touch faster in sustained writes.
Can I use it with a phone?: Yes, with a USB-C phone or tablet it mounts as external storage for photos and files. iPhones need a USB-C model or an adapter.
What is in the box?: The drive and a USB-C cable, plus a USB-C to USB-A adapter on most versions. No pouch or software disc is included.
