Overview
Not a slow USB-A thumb drive, the SanDisk Extreme PRO is a USB-C flash drive with SSD-like transfer speeds in a metal body. It plugs straight into USB-C laptops, computers and tablets, with a keyring hole for carrying.
Read and write speeds near portable SSD territory make moving large video files quick, and the metal shell handles a keyring. Peak speeds need a matching fast port, and the drive offers USB-C only.
Who it's for
Video editors, photographers and consultants who shuttle large files between USB-C devices get fast transfers in a pocket-sized drive. Owners of older USB-A-only machines need an adapter or a different drive.
Pros and cons
- Very fast read and write
- Compact metal body
- USB-C plugs into tablets and laptops
- Auto backup via Memory Zone app
- USB-C plug only
- Full speed needs a matching port
- No hardware encryption listed
Performance notes
Transfer speed depends on the host port: a matching fast connection reaches the rated speeds, while slower ports cap them. Large single files move fastest, while many tiny files transfer more slowly.
