SanDisk Extreme PRO USB-A 512GB

The SanDisk Extreme PRO USB-A is a high-performance flash drive offering 512GB capacity. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and delivers read speeds up to 1000MB/s with write speeds up to 900MB/s. The drive features a premium metal design with a keyring hole and includes RescuePRO Deluxe software for data recovery.

Ideal for fast local file transfers

This drive suits users who need rapid transfer of large files between USB-A equipped laptops and desktops. The 128-bit AES encryption protects sensitive data while the lightweight metal casing aids portability. Buyers requiring USB-C connectivity or capacities beyond 512GB should look at alternative models.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A interface

The USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A connector determines host compatibility and maximum throughput. Systems limited to USB 2.0 will only achieve a fraction of the 1000MB/s read potential. Verify your device has a compatible USB-A port to utilise the stated performance.

Questions about this item

Does the 512GB Extreme PRO need a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port to reach its 1000MB/s read speed?

Yes, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port is required for the full 1000MB/s read and 900MB/s write performance; it will work on older ports at lower speeds.

Is there a driver to install before the drive appears in Windows or macOS?

No driver is needed — the drive is plug-and-play on both Windows and macOS; the only extra step is running the included RescuePRO Deluxe installer if you want the file-recovery software.

How do I enable the 128-bit AES encryption that comes with the drive?

Use the SanDisk SecureAccess software (available from SanDisk's website) to create a password-protected vault; the hardware itself handles the 128-bit AES encryption once the vault is set up.
