High Speed Storage
The SanDisk 1TB SSD boasts up to 1050MB/s read speeds and write speeds that are only a hair behind, at around 1000MB/s. That kind of speed is ideal for quick transfer of big files. With USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface via USB-C, you can plug this drive directly into newer laptops or even certain tablets and smartphones with ease. The speedy data transfer rate means less waiting about so you can get on with what matters.
This drive carries an IP65 rating so it’s water and dustproof to a reasonable extent. That gives you extra confidence if you’re carrying it around in a backpack or briefcase. It may become splashed or dusty but that will not prevent your data from remaining secure. It is also lightweight, measuring approximately 4 inches long and half an inch thick so it will not occupy much space when traveling.
The drive features 256-bit AES encryption with password protection which is easily manageable with free SanDisk software. It keeps your files locked down to unauthorized access even if your drive for some reason gets misplaced. All you need to keep in mind is that this security feature functions optimally with Windows and macOS; some phones might not support it totally.
It supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 10 and newer, macOS 10.13+, and plenty of USB Type-C capable devices. And in addition, the drive is powered by the bus, which means you won’t need an extra power cable — all you do is plug into the USB port and you’re ready to roll.
The construction is solid without being blocky and SanDisk offers a five-year limited warranty. That provides some added peace of mind if you’re planning on relying on this drive as your workday driver, school driver, or personal project driver. Speed, reliability, and resilience all coexist in neat package form in a easily pocketed or bagged form.
