Portable SSD for creators

The SanDisk Extreme V2 is a 500GB external solid-state drive that connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 1050 MB/s and write speeds up to 1000 MB/s using NVMe technology. The drive includes a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adaptor for broad device compatibility.

Suits mobile professionals.

Photographers and videographers who need rugged, pocket-sized storage for high-resolution files will benefit from the IP55 water and dust resistance and two-metre drop protection. The integrated carabiner loop secures the drive to gear during travel. Users who require internal storage upgrades or larger desktop-capacity arrays should consider other form factors.

USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C interface decides fit

The drive operates exclusively over a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C connection, so the host device must provide that port or a compatible adaptor. Performance scales with the host controller, reaching the stated 1050 MB/s read and 1000 MB/s write only when the link supports the full 10 Gbps bandwidth.
