Review: Fast, durable, and great customer service - Fast, durable, and great customer serviceI got the SanDisk 2TB Extreme portable SSD mainly because the price was really good for this speed and capacity.

If your pc storage drive has a read speed of 250 mb/s then that's the speed the files will transfer even though the USB drive will write faster it can't get the data off of the pc storage drive fast enough. Hope this helps a little bit. **Q: Has the 2TB Pro 1050mb drive password protection?** A: Dear Cath Harrison, My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care. I would like to inform you that the drive will have password 3rd party application on it pre-installed. You may contact us via our support email: english_support@sandisk.com and provide us with the date of this post. Best regards, Shira SanDisk Global Customer Care **Q: With apples camera (usb cable) can i use this drive with just a charging cable? as currently have to use a powered usb hub with a drive.** A: The Sandisk Drive draws it's power and communication (Files) through a single USB-C Cable. It depends whether the Apple camera's connection can output enough power to run the Drive. Do you use the Charging cable to transfer Data as well as charge the Camera ? If it's just for charging i'd think it's not going to work. I personally would send an Email to Sandisk & Apple to enquire if it's possible **Q: Will this work for the Dashcam in my Tesla?** A: I use it on a 2016 Mac book pro,,,, it works well, if you back to this ssd through time machine it will auto format the drive to Mac format the first time you use it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely Fast, Compact and Reliable *by D***T on 17 March 2026* Very impressed with this drive. It is extremely fast for transferring large files and the compact size makes it easy to carry around. Feels well built and reliable. A great portable storage option from SanDisk. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, durable, and great customer service *by S***M on 8 August 2025* Fast, durable, and great customer serviceI got the SanDisk 2TB Extreme portable SSD mainly because the price was really good for this speed and capacity. Before buying, I heard about an issue in one of the older versions of this drive where it could suddenly fail. I contacted SanDisk directly, and they confirmed that my model is not affected by that problem.

So far, it’s been reliable, and I’m very happy with it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive, functional, look great *by R***W on 7 October 2025* These SanDisk Extreme Portable SSDs are well designed and look great as well as being small and extremely functional. I have found no flaws in my using of them. However, as with all drives, you don’t get the stated 2 TB, 1 TB as stated, but slightly less. This could be considered a scam, but is due to the way manufacturers of drives and operating systems measure storage. Manufacturers use a decimal (base-10) system to market storage (1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes), but computers use a binary (base-2) system to calculate it (1 TB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes). A terabyte is actually 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, but the operating system reads in 1024KB blocks so you end up with it reporting only 931GB and you "lose" 69GB in the conversion. Thus with a 2TB drive it only offers 1862GB, or 1.8TB rounded. There of one may not get quite what you thought you might onto your SSD drives. That said, these little SanDisk drives are great, if but a little expensive. My only criticism would be for a label area to mark them up and easily identify the drive without having to plug them in. Of course one can simple place a sticker on them and mark it accordingly, but it does spoil the aesthetics a little. ## Frequently Bought Together - SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD - Up to 1050MB/s, USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2, IP65 Water and dust Resistance, Updated Firmware, Monterey - External Solid State Drive - SDSSDE61-2T00-G25M - Hard Case Compatible with SanDisk 500GB/1TB/2TB/4TB Extreme Portable SSD - Up to 1050MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.2 Gen 2 - External Solid State Drive.
