Overview
Not a slow keychain stick, the SanDisk Extreme PRO is a USB-A flash drive that reads and writes at SSD-like speeds over a fast USB port. A metal body with a keyring hole carries it, and password protection with AES encryption guards the files.
Read and write speeds near those of a portable SSD make big video and photo transfers quick in a keychain-size package. Older USB ports will slow it down, and USB-C-only laptops need an adapter.
Who it's for
Creative professionals and IT staff get fast, encrypted portable storage on a key ring. Phone and tablet users with USB-C ports should look at a dual-connector drive.
Pros and cons
- Very fast read and write
- Password protection with encryption
- Recovery software included
- Durable metal body
- USB-A only, no USB-C
- Full speed needs a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port
- Box contents not listed
Performance notes
Sustained speed depends on the host port: on a matching high-speed USB port the drive approaches its rated read and write figures, while older ports cap it lower. Encryption runs through the bundled password software, and RescuePRO helps recover deleted files.
