Meet the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD
Easy to clip on to a backpack or a belt loop, this external USB SSD is a good choice for hikers, outdoor photographers, and media workers seeking additional space for photos, videos, and other digital media shot on the spot.
The Outer Design
The enclosure has a black rubberized finish on the back and sides, with a textured, pitted front face in a contrasting charcoal plastic.
Both Kinds of USB
The drive comes bundled with a standard USB Type-C-to-C cable, in addition to a USB-C-to-A adapter.
Take a Dunk
The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is rated for the IP55 standard, making it resistant to water ingress, dust exposure, and shock.
An Open Port
Despite the water resistance rating, note that the drive doesn't have a cap or stopper over its USB Type-C connector.
Four Sizes, All Rugged
The Extreme Portable SSD comes in four different capacities: 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB.
Adapter in Action
Connecting to an ordinary USB Type-A port requires use of the bundled adapter, which is a little clunky.
