Capacity and Interface

The SanDisk My Passport SSD offers 2TB of storage in a portable external drive that connects via USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C. It uses NVMe technology to deliver sequential read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1000 MB/s. The package includes a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a Type-C to Type-A adapter for broad compatibility.

Suited For and Not For

This drive suits creators and professionals who need fast, encrypted portable storage for large media libraries or direct iPhone 15 Pro video capture via the Files app. It is not suited for buyers who require internal installation, drives larger than 2TB, or hardware encryption beyond 256-bit AES.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface with NVMe performance up to 1050 MB/s read. If your workflow demands this specific bandwidth and connector, the drive matches; if you need a different interface or higher capacity, look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How long can the My Passport SSD sustain 1050 MB/s reads before thermal throttling?

The metal chassis acts as a heatsink, and the drive is rated for shock and vibration resistance up to 6.5 ft, so it maintains NVMe performance during extended transfers without active cooling.

Does the drive get loud or hot when writing at 1000 MB/s for hours?

There are no moving parts, so it runs silently; the aluminium body dissipates heat from the NVMe controller, keeping surface temperatures comfortable during all-day workloads.

Which host port and OS combination lets me use the included USB-C cable and 256-bit AES encryption without reformatting?

Windows 10 or macOS Catalina and later with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port provide native support for the hardware encryption and full 1050 MB/s read speed.
