![]() Luckily, a lot of high-end laptops and desktops come with that port and it is likely to grow in popularity thanks to the fact that Intel has opened the platform, lowering the cost of adoption and offering a more standardized approach to data transfer. The Sabrent Rocket XTRM-Q ( $200 for 1TB, $350 for 2TB) might not be a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 drive but its Thunderbolt 3 interface means that it can reach much higher speeds than the Extreme Pro V2 if you have a compatible port. CrystalDiskMark, for example, hit more than 1GBps on sustained read and write speeds using default settings. Our tests show that the Sandisk Extreme Pro V2 performs on par with current USB 3.2 Gen 2 drives and that’s not a surprise. Note that the Extreme pro Portable SSD v2 includes support for hardware encryption via the Sandisk SecureAccess application. We tested the Sandisk Extreme Pro 1TB external portable SSD using a Dell Latitude 7490 business laptop which is equipped with a Thunderbolt 3 port. They will be lucky to reach even 55% of that number which puts it slightly ahead of the Extreme Pro Portable (v1) and could explain the relatively modest price premium between the two (remember, it’s only $20 for the 2TB model). ![]() We suspect that a lot of potential customers will buy the drive and expect read/write speeds of up to 2GBps (as per the numbers on the box). Sadly, we didn’t have anything at hand to test its claimed performance. You will need to have a compatible host device to make the most out of this Extreme Pro v2. ![]()
