Christmas may be over but it does not mean that people cannot upgrade to new technology, or spoil or gift themselves with new gadgets that would make their work or hobbies better. Solid State Drives have been popular since its release, offering fast read and write speeds with a more durable body, now made portable by SanDisk s Extreme Pro lineup.

Most computer hard drives, particularly the mid to top tier variants, have all dual hard drive systems, with a hard disk drive (HDD) and solid-state drive (SSD) functioning together to create a powerful experience. SSDs would focus on performance while HDDs would focus on storage.
Geared to content creators, SanDisk's Extreme Pro Portable SSD V2 offers some of the fastest read and write speeds we've seen from an external solid-state drive. But you'll likely have to buy and install an expansion card on a desktop PC to attain them.

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.
