Overview
SanDisk built the Extreme Portable SSD as a tough external drive that connects to a computer over USB and clips to a bag through its carabiner loop. Password protection with AES encryption guards the files if the drive goes missing.
Ruggedness is the reason to choose it: splash, dust and drop protection suit a drive that travels on a pack instead of living on a desk. Mac users face an extra step, since password protection there needs a software download.
Who it's for
Outdoor shoots and travel bags are where this drive earns its place, clipped on and shielded from splashes and grit. People who only back up a desk computer may not need the rugged shell.
Pros and cons
- Splash and dust resistant shell
- Drop protection for field use
- Carabiner loop secures it to gear
- Password protection with AES encryption
- Connector and cable type not listed
- Mac password tool needs a software download
- Must be clean and dry before use
Performance notes
Top transfer rates need a host port that matches the drive's fast USB link, and on a slower port the drive runs at the port's limit. The protection rating comes from internal testing against water flow and limited dust contact, so it covers rain and grit on the move, not a dunk in water.
