Sandisk has unveiled a new generation of portable SSDs designed to meet the needs of creative professionals and everyday users alike.
The series expands its previous portfolio with three different models, each offering improved performance, durability and safety.
These products are designed to handle ever-increasing file sizes, AI-generated content, and the diverse demands of modern digital workflows.
Three-tier storage for every type of user
The new offerings include the Sandisk Portable SSD, Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD and Sandisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD.
“As photo and video resolutions continue to increase and AI-generated content becomes more prevalent, users at all levels are managing more data across a wider range of devices and environments,” said Susan Park, Vice President of Consumer Products at Sandisk.
“With nearly twice the speed and a purpose-built, pocket-sized design, our latest portable SSD portfolio can move massive files at lightning speed.”
The company says each tier addresses different performance needs, from simple file backups to high-speed content transfers for professional media work.
The Extreme and Extreme Pro models offer strong protection against drops and spills with IP65 ratings and up to 3m drop resistance.
These features ensure that users can work safely on the go without worrying about accidental damage.
The Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD is aimed at photographers, video editors and creators who manage large projects.
With read speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s, it allows the transfer of thousands of high-resolution images in under a minute, making it convenient for efficient management of creative workflows.
The Extreme Pro model pushes performance further, reaching 4,000 MB/s and enables professionals to edit and move extremely high-resolution media in real-time.
These devices are designed to keep up with workflows that rely on large AI-generated files or multi-stream video content, providing performance that traditional HDDs or legacy SSDs can’t match.
For students, office workers and home users, the Sandisk Portable SSD offers reliable storage in a compact design.
Its read speeds of up to 1,000 MB/s make backing up documents, photos and videos simple and efficient.
The Extreme and Extreme Pro models include password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption, ensuring sensitive projects remain secure.
Users can rely on these SSDs to store critical creative work or business files without the worry of unauthorized access.
Portable SSDs provide the speed and flexibility of flash storage while reducing reliance on traditional HDDs, which are slower and less shock resistant.
With future-proof capabilities and the ability to support AI-driven content, Sandisk’s new SSDs meet changing storage requirements across multiple use cases.
“Whether at home, in the office or on the go, this new generation of portable SSDs supports customers across their storage needs,” said Heidi Arkinstall, Vice President of Consumer Marketing at Sandisk.
“From casual users, to creative enthusiasts, to production professionals, the Sandisk portable SSD portfolio balances performance, portability and durability to give people storage they can rely on as their needs evolve.”
