SanDisk launches high-speed Extreme PRO SSD with USB4

SanDisk has launched a new Extreme PRO external SSD featuring USB4 technology, offering read speeds of 3800MB/s and write speeds of 3700MB/s. The drive is larger than competitors but provides better damage protection and hardware encryption. The Extreme PRO is available in 2TB and 4TB capacities, priced at $279.99 and $429.99, respectively. This pricing is significantly higher than the Corsair EX400U, which offers similar performance at a lower cost. While the drive performs well with USB4 connections, users may experience reduced speeds with Thunderbolt 4 and older USB standards. The lack of a USB-A adapter and the high price point may deter some buyers.
