I have been a fan of Sandis’ portable Extreme Pro SSD for many years. When I travel with my laptop, I take a couple with me so that I can support my photos and videos every day. People who are using transfer data up to 2,000 MB/s (sustainable reading and writing speed). They are very durable, with good water and dust resistance (IP65).
Because they are sharp, I actually use them to edit 4K videos – even when I am at home – I am doing better than doing so on the internal drive of my MacBook. So when Sandisk launched a new, fast version of these magnificent drives recently, I was a happy.
A SSD is the perfect storage tool for travel. They are small, fans, and do not require external power. They are perfect if you need to get out your laptop and review and edit and edit and edit some video footage at the coffee shop or airport, then they are perfect.
The new sandisk extreme pro portable SSD is designed for USB 4.0, for photographers and filmmakers who want high performance and stability. They are able to achieve reading speeds up to 3,800 MB/s and are able to write speeds up to 3,700 MB/s. For people with USB 3.2 or USB 2.0, they will not be so fast, but are compatible and still provide excellent performance.
Two versions are available: one 2 TB and one 4 TB.
Like the older versions of these drives, they have an inherent loop designed to attach a carbinner, so you can secure your valuable data in your bag to help it avoid theft by the pickpocket.
My thoughts
As a person works too much video, SSDs are very useful rapidly. Priceless, really.
As I have shot high-resolution video formats such as priorus, my memory-intensity is a fast drive to easily and quickly return.
As I do a lot of editing work on the drive with file sizes that are growing up due to improvement in camera capacity, I am getting that I sometimes require more than 4 TB, so the 8 TB version of this drive is a good addition – especially for the shooting of those 8k60 raws or on the road for weeks with a medium tip camera. Perhaps there is one in the pipeline?
They are very well made, with an aluminum cover and rubber -resistant shell. The older generation of extreme supporters SSD is about 4.25 x 2.25 inches and weighs 77.5 grams. These new people are large at about 5.5 x 2.5 inches, weighing 172 grams.
Sandisk offers the best warranty in business in five years, and they have proved to be very reliable in my experience. Despite the increase in weight and size on the USB 3.2 version, one of the couples in your travel bag still understands if you want sharp and reliable backup and assure durability. The negative side for some people is the cost. They are pricier compared to rivals. The 2TB version is $ 279.99And this 4TB version is $ 429.99,
A Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD – whether you choose USB 3.2 or new USB 4.0 version – is the perfect tool for traveling creative.
