Product Information

USB 3.2 Gen 1 (a.k.a. the old USB 3.0), typically good enough a ceiling for older external SSDs with SATA-based silicon, caps read and write speeds for external SSDs at about 550MBps and 500MBps respectively. While you can use the Extreme Pro V2 drive with any of these interfaces, buying it without provision for a Gen 2x2 interface would be like buying a Corvette for runs to the grocery store.

Editor’s Note, August 17, 2023: As recently reported in Ars Technica , a critical mass of users on SanDisk’s forums and Reddit have reported failures of some SanDisk Extreme, Extreme Pro, Extreme V2, and Extreme Pro V2 SSDs, resulting in data loss, as well as the drives becoming unreadable/unmountable. In May, parent company WD released firmware updates for the 4TB SanDisk Extreme, as well as the 4TB, 2TB, and 1TB Extreme Pro models, plus the 4TB Western Digital My Passport, but complaints continue. We are doing our own stress-testing of the sample drives we originally reviewed. As of today, however, we no longer recommend buying any of the aforementioned SSDs, until we are satisfied the issue has been resolved. ( A class-action suit has been levied against WD surrounding issues with these drives.) We have left our original review in place here for reference.] Full HD (1920x1080) and 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) video support may vary based upon host device, file attributes, and other factors.
