Extreme Pro 8TB portable SSD

The SanDisk Extreme Pro SDSSDE61-8T00-G25 is an 8TB external solid-state drive with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface. It delivers up to 1050 MBps sequential read and 1000 MBps sequential write speeds using internal NVMe performance. The drive weighs 52g and measures 100.8mm by 52.55mm by 9.6mm. It includes a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a Type-C to Type-A adapter.

Creators needing rugged high-capacity storage

This drive suits photographers, videographers and mobile professionals who require up to 8TB of fast, portable storage with physical durability. It offers up to three-meter drop protection and IP65 water and dust resistance. A carabiner loop allows attachment to bags or belts. Buyers who need hardware-based encryption beyond password protection, a different interface, or sustained write performance above the rated sequential figures should look elsewhere.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection. It requires a host port that supports this standard to reach the advertised 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write speeds. The drive works with Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.13 or later. Without a compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2 port, transfer rates will fall to the host's maximum capability.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need a USB-C port to use the SanDisk Extreme Pro 8TB SSD?

The drive includes a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter so it works with USB-A ports, though USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds require a compatible USB-C or USB-A 10 Gbps connection.

Will the SDSSDE61-8T00-G25 run at full speed on my older laptop that only has USB 3.0 ports?

It will work on USB 3.0 ports but sequential read and write speeds will be limited to the 5 Gbps bandwidth of that interface instead of the rated 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write.

How can I verify the Extreme Pro 8TB is delivering its rated 1050 MBps read and 1000 MBps write performance after setup?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or Blackmagic Disk Speed Test on a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port; results should approach the stated figures for large-block transfers.
