Review: Fantastic speeds, lightweight and durable - This is the only external hard drive I'll probably never bother putting in a case. It's small, light, but incredibly durable. I wasn't actually expecting it to be as small as it is, which is a plus in my opinion. One of the main reasons I wanted this drive was that it is USB-C – having moved over to the new MacBooks in 2017 I wanted to go some way to leaving the clumsy adapters behind. The drive comes with a very short USB-C cable, with a small adapter if you're using on a device with standard USB-A ports. The build itself is very good, it's amazing how far USB devices have come even in five years – this isn't much bigger than about three of my old Kingston drives put together, and is about 60 times the capacity. The design is modern and a bit funky, and the firm rubber edging makes it bounce when dropped and provides good protection, though it is a magnet for dust. Even though this is a rugged drive, it would've been nice to have even a small slipcase included, considering the price. As for speeds, I'm not one to meticulously get into the nitty gritty and measure them on these fancy pieces of software. I preferred to test it in a way which would produce real world numbers, so I just transferred some files. I saw a file of 5 gb transfer in 9 seconds, a file of 15gb transfer (from my USB-C MacBook Pro) in 28 seconds, and a group of files totalling 38 gb transfer in two minutes. That, to me, is incredible. Every time I transfer a video file or a collection of RAW photos files I'm amazed at the speed, compared to my old HDD which took an age to transfer, with the frustration and clunkiness of adapters on top. This is a drive that would be perfectly suited to being used as a video or photo archive, which is what I am using it for, and obviously it's ideally suited to be a Time Machine or any other back up drive. The speed and ease of transferring, through a cable my Mac is designed for, makes my work flow so much better. In the end, even with the 'deal of the day' I got, this was triple the price I've ever paid for an external hard drive, but I'm so glad I dove in. Review: New lease of life for my original Xbox One - The load times on my original Xbox One were getting poor. As I do not have a 4k TV I did not want to splash out on an new Xbox one X as I only wanted the extra processing power and improved load times. 4k capability was useless to me. Instead of spending ~£400 on an Xbox One X I just bought this little beauty. It is a fantastic bit of kit with blisteringly fast speeds. I now load in faster than my buddies who have an Xbox One X. If I ever do get an upgraded unit I can still use this drive as extra storage so no wasted money at all. I could have got a cheaper unit which was not designed to be so robust and portable; but I really liked the look of this unit. And it does not disappoint. It is well made and has a pleasing aesthetic. It is smaller than I expected and the place to attach a loop for carrying is nice. The has been running for a few weeks now with no problems. My only (minor) complaint: the included USB cable is *very* short. I cannot even plug it into the back of my xbox and leave the unit sitting on the top. I understand it is probably short by design to keep everything neat; but I don't think double the length would affect this and it would give a lot more flexibility in the units use. I didn't knock a star off as this is easily fixed - I have more loose USB cables than I know what to do with. ## Features - High-speed transfers of up to 550MB/s let you move hi-res photos and videos fast - Rugged, water- and dust-resistant (IP-55 rated).

I would like to inform you that the external SSD is shipped together with USB 3.1 Type-C connector and also includes a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a Type-C to Type-A adapter. More information will be found in the product page: https://www.sandisk.com/home/ssd/extreme-portable-ssd If you have any additional questions regarding our products you may contact us via our support email: english_support@sandisk.com  and provide us with the date of this post. Best regards, Shira SanDisk Global Customer Care **Q: Can this drive be formatted as mac os extended (journaled) to act as a bootable backup or time machine backup for mac os?** A: Yes, absolutely. Having said that, not sure why you would want to have a very fast (and expensive compared to regular HDDs) Solid State Drive as a backup device. In my view, you are better off with a normal hard disk. **Q: Does it require a lithium battery as stated in specifications, please?** A: Dear David Campbell, My name is Shira from SanDisk Customer Care. I would like to inform you that the portable SSD does not require any battery. it operates by cable connected to the computer. If you have any additional questions regarding our products you may contact us via our support email: english_support@sandisk.com and provide us with the date of this post. Best regards, Shira SanDisk Global Customer Care **Q: Does this drive come hardware encryption as nearly everyone requires this if ever misplaced?** A: The drive has SanDisk encryption software on it when you get it. There's a Windows and Mac version but no Linux. Personally I would recommend VeraCrypt for encrypting your drive instead. It's open source, audited for security, and well known to be almost impossible to crack (even for the FBI). Plus it's free. Compared to BitLocker it's miles ahead: BitLocker only comes with Windows 10 Pro, is honestly more difficult to set up, backs up your encryption key in OneDrive (so Microsoft can decrypt all your files or if they're hacked so could anyone), and it's closed source with no way to verify how secure it is. That last criticism applies to the SanDisk encryption software too. I'm not saying it's malicious, but when software is intended to provide security and privacy through encryption it should be open source. Most commonly used encryption software and systems trusted to be secure are open source (e.g. the software running on web servers to provide HTTPS, the server software itself, the OS under it... all open source). I work with servers run by big companies and they would never trust closed source encryption. You shouldn't either. TL;DR: Download VeraCrypt for free, it's extremely secure and does what you want and more. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic speeds, lightweight and durable *by U***K on 27 May 2019* This is the only external hard drive I'll probably never bother putting in a case.

A SSD drive looked to be a better option and a quicker method of backing up, and already owning a SanDisk iXpand flash drive, which has USB to Lightning connections for easy transfer between laptop & iPad, the SanDisk Extreme seemed ideal. It's easy to set up and install the Secure Access software, which offers password protection and enables you to back up encrypted files in its Vault. Alternatively, you can just use as a normal additional drive, and copy files / folders to the drive's root folder. My only niggles are that if you choose the Secure Access option to save images in the Vault, it doesn't list them (as in Windows Explorer) in strict numerical order, it sorts by the first digit NOT the actual file number. As I number my images in bulk which show as 'Image (1), Image (10), Image (100)' etc., in the Vault, Image (10) follows Image (1), Image (11) comes between Image (109) & Image (110), and Image (2) comes after Image (199)! Then it lists Image (20) followed by Image (200), etc. As you can only view the files as Details, List or Icons - NOT thumbnails, this makes it a bit difficult to find an image when can't view all the actual images, though you can double-click on an individual image to view it. I'm not fussed about images being locked away and encrypted, so copying images / folders to the drive's root folder and viewing in Windows Explorer is better for me. The Secure Access option seems better suited for such as document files, i.e., MS Word, Excel, PDF, etc. Oh, and the supplied cable could be longer! However, I do really like it, and though yes it is a bit expensive, it is quite small, very light and truly portable - and very stylish too! Certainly would buy another when the drive gets full. ## Frequently Bought Together - SanDisk 1TB Extreme Portable External SSD - Up to 550MB/s - USB-C, USB 3.1 - SDSSDE60-1T00-G25 - Case Compatible with SanDisk 1TB 2TB 500GB / for SanDisk PRO Extreme Portable SSD, External Solid State Hard Drive Storage Holder for SDSSDE61/ SDSSDE60/ SDSSDE81 (Box Only)(Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/56909942-extreme-portable-ssd-1tb-up-to-550mb-s-read-solid](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/56909942-extreme-portable-ssd-1tb-up-to-550mb-s-read-solid) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
