I shoot RAW and this 4TB is plenty to hold all of my shots. And it’s so small and compact compared to my 1TB external HD.

Gets a wee bit warm when pushed but so far so good, I expect that from SanDisk.

The SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD V2performed as promised. I’m a satisfied customer.

I have a 2TB V1 for some time and bought this 2TB V2 as a second backup of photo and video off iPad Pro and MacBook. This is USB not Thunderbolt drive so don’t expect and get disappointed with the speed as it won’t give you the speed specified with Apple. However, I use it as backup and don’t do any editing on them so it’s no big deal to me. I read some YT reviews stating since the speed is limited on Apple, why spend extra money on the faster Pro V2, but my experience is V2 is noticeable faster than V1 on my MacBook, iPad Pro is less different. Therefore, there is speed advantage with Pro V2. The drive is small, the rubber ISS finishing is nice to touch, it does get warm to almost hot in sustained connection/usage. I don’t like the security software of this drive so I didn’t turn on encryption which means I don’t want to lose it so I don’t keep anything confidential or personal on it. I carry a spare empty V1 1TB drive when I travel so the potential loss is what I shoot in the trip and not my entire backup.

I don’t think this was the fault of the drive, but my computer kept crashing while trying to transfer over files (from my old drive) initially – finally worked when booted in Safe mode, so I think it was less of a drive issue, but took HOURS. Now that the files are over (I’m using for my Lightroom Library) it’s working great!

Well, it does what it’s supposed to do and it’s a lot smaller than I expected it to be. Also does seem rugged. The true test with the hard drive is in whether it manages to keep my data safe though and for that only time will tell.

Just plug it in and go. Love how small it is.

Out of the box the SSD is formatted with exFAT and will work on almost any computer. However, I reformatted to Apple’s APFS as I will only be using with macOS. The SSD is very compact, actually a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but that is fine as it tucks away in the camera bag easily. Build quality appears top notch. Performance is very fast. I tried it with both supplied cables (Thunderbolt-Thunderbolt and USB-Thunderbolt) and 80 GB transferred to the drive quickly with both cables. The included cables are about a foot in length, which I like as there is less cable to pack in the camera bag. Just plan to keep the SSD right next to the computer when using it.

fast drive, compact

This was recommended by editor friends for speed on the go, plus SanDisk just merged with G-tech so I have extra faith in their products. So far so good

Now that SanDisk has brought out this version of their SSD, I have moved all of my photos and Lightroom catalog to this drive and have it connected full time. Works well and fast enough that it is a good alternative to using the internal SSD that came with my MacBook Pro

Great addition to my equipment. Fast and easy to use for my needs.

As a very serious portrait photographer, I use ten of these SanDisk 2TB SSD drives to store separately two complete sets of my hundreds of thousands of photographs taken with my Nikon D850. Each of my five categories of my original RAW image files are stored on two of these SSDs. I trust nothing else with my images.

Very good and useful device.

The Sandisk 2TB Extreme Pro is touted as a super fast read/write SSD, but I find it only a little faster than my old Seagate external drive. It takes 25 minutes to back up 540GB of photos. Additionally, the connection port seems to be loose. I have to be very careful not to bump or move the SSD after connecting it to my computer. Doing so sometimes causes it to lose connectivity, and I get a device improperly disconnected message. Especially bad during file back-ups. Not sure if this is just my Sandisk SSD, or if other users have experienced the same issues?

Plus fast!
Irwin Willms (verified owner) –
Not much faster, but faster than the first generation. The disadvantage is that it is larger than the first generation.

This drive surprised me for sure, I am actually able to record BlackMagic RAW in 12k on this, and 8k120FPS. Even bigger surprise is that it does not heat up nearly as bad as the T5 series does, even with these much higher top speeds. I built an external NVME 980PRO to external USBC case, and the speeds are on par with each other. Don’t hesitate, it works perfectly !!! Quick tip, TEST your cables with a speedtest – I tried out a few different high speed USBC cables, and found a couple that gave me an additional 5-8 percent higher read/write speeds. Don’t really need it, but if your trying to squeeze all the speed you can, worth a check.
