SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2 Review

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2 brings IP55 dust and water resistance to a more mainstream price and speed tier than the Extreme Pro model covered elsewhere on this site, aimed at everyday users who still want real durability from their portable drive.

At up to 1,050 MB/s, this drive delivers solidly fast portable transfer speeds appropriate for everyday backup and file transfer needs, without reaching the Extreme Pro model's higher-tier throughput. Against the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2, covered elsewhere on this site, that drive nearly doubles this model's speed at a higher price, worthwhile specifically for large video file workflows. Against the Samsung T7 Shield, also covered elsewhere on this site, both offer rugged, mainstream-priced portable durability.
