Conclusion
...offering good aesthetics, great build quality and providing over 700MB/s transfers.Faster broadband and higher-quality files put renewed focus on a system's storage potential at a time when most are moving over exclusively to SSDs. Such a time presents a great opportunity for fast, portable external drives that can hold and move terabytes of data quickly between computers.
The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD is a case in point. Offering great aesthetics, good build quality and providing over 700MB/s transfers in real-world use through the adoption of an internal WD SN750 NVMe SSD bridged over to USB-C, there's a lot to like.
We prefer the SanDisk model over the sibling WD My Passport SSD 2020 for its faster internal SSD, semi-ruggerdised form factor and better cabling. SanDisk itself now offers a newer version touting double the sequential speeds, but it costs a fair bit more than the £170 asking price here.
As a dependable chunk of speedy external storage, the SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD is a well-rounded solution that deserves attention, especially if on sale when making way for the newer iteration.
