## Description

Immerse yourself in the action with the supercharged, ultra-rugged SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD. Built for compatibility with both Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C, this versatile drive enables you to efficiently collaborate across devices. . Sustaining speeds up to 3000MB/s read via Thunderbolt 3, the SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD powers through the most demanding workflows so you can go wherever your vision takes you.

Review: This first thing to know about the Pro G40 is to discard the included cable and use a true Thunderbolt 4 cable if you are using a Mac M1 or above. The second thing is to ignore the results from other reviewers who didn't use a fast cable to run their tests. See the results I obtained with a TB4 cable and a Mac Mini M2Pro in the included graphic. It actually exceeded the 3000MB/s rating and also properly identified the internal WD-Black SSD that SanDisk is using (lower left corner). Initially I used the included cable as did another reviewer, but those results didn't quite make 1000MB in sequential reads. Something had to be wrong. I don't know why such a feeble cable is included with this very fast drive...but that's the reality. For readers of this review I held my breath and dropped the G40 from waist high first on carpet, then on a floor protector as one uses under an office chair, and finally on a very hard floor. The performance before and after was identical for practical purposes. The accompanying performance chart numbers are the results after the 3 drops. This drive puts my SanDisk Extreme Pro 4TB and Costco SanDisk Extreme Go 2TB in the rear view mirror, each performing at roughly a third of the speed of the G40. And for those of you who are curious, the Costco SanDisk Extreme Go is a slightly slower performer compared to the SanDisk Extreme Pro. I hope this review makes clear how to obtain the best performance of this very fast and rugged portable drive. I tested 5 TB4 cables each under $20 from desertcart and found they all performed identically, so take your pick, it's a good investment. Otherwise it makes no sense to buy this expensive drive. Highly recommended.
