- Does it reach 2,000 MB/s on any USB-C port?
- No. It needs a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20Gbps) host port to approach its rated speed. On common 10Gbps USB-C ports it runs at roughly half that.
- Can I use the cartridge in other devices?
- The Pro-Blade cartridge fits SanDisk's Pro-Blade docking and reader products. It is not a standard M.2 drive and will not slot into a laptop or generic enclosure.
- Is it good for video editing?
- Yes for editing footage stored on the drive, especially with 20Gbps connections. For the fastest multicam work, many editors still keep active projects on an internal drive.
- Does it work with Macs?
- It connects over USB-C and works with macOS, but most Macs do not support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, so expect 10Gbps-class speeds rather than the full rating.
- Is the drive bus-powered?
- Yes. It draws power over the USB-C cable, so no separate power adapter is needed.
- Is it encrypted?
- There is no built-in hardware encryption. You would rely on software encryption such as FileVault or BitLocker.
