1TB Portable NVMe SSD

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD delivers up to 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write speeds in a 52 gram chassis measuring 100.8mm by 52.55mm by 9.6mm. It targets creators and field professionals who need fast NVMe solid state performance in a rugged, pocket-sized drive for content capture and transport.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 Connectivity

The drive connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C interface and ships with a Type-C to Type-C cable plus a Type-C to Type-A adapter for broad host compatibility. It requires Windows 10 or macOS 10.13 and draws power directly from the bus, leaving no need for an external power supply. IP65 water and dust resistance plus up to three-meter drop protection let it survive harsh environments without extra ruggedised enclosures.

Upgrade From Slower Portable Drives

Users moving from mechanical portable hard drives or earlier-generation portable SSDs gain a substantial speed jump for large-file workflows such as 4K video offload and high-resolution photo libraries. The jump is worth it when transfer time directly affects shoot schedules or field turnaround. Buyers who need more than 1TB of capacity or who rely on interfaces faster than USB 3.2 Gen 2 should consider other solutions.

Questions about this item

At what point does thermal throttling reduce the 1050 MBps read speed during long transfers?

The drive has no active cooling; sustained heavy workloads will eventually hit thermal limits and lower speeds below the 1050 MBps peak.

How much heat and power does the SSD draw when running continuously?

It draws power only from the USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, stays cool enough for handheld use, and produces no audible noise.

Which host port and operating system are required to reach the rated performance?

A USB-C port supporting USB 3.2 Gen 2 plus Windows 10+ or macOS 10.13+ are needed for the 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write rates.
