Compact, rugged, and blazingly fast, the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 ($299.99 for 1TB, $499.99 for 2TB as tested) stands at the apex of SanDisk s Extreme line of solid-state drives. Built for video editors, photographers, animators, and other creatives aiming to take advantage of the very latest USB 3.2 standard to move ginormous volumes of files in a hurry, the Extreme Pro V2 turned in some of the fastest transfer speeds we ve seen from an external SSD. However, since native support for the top version of USB (the 20Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2x2) is harder to find than a Sony PlayStation 5 on a store shelf, you ll probably have to spring for an expansion card if you don t want to settle for the mortal speeds that a mere USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface will afford you.
