SanDisk Extreme and Extreme PRO portable SSDs announced from RM589

While SSDs are inherently more durable than HDDs, making them great for use as portable storage solutions, a strong enclosure still helps to protect your precious data. That’s where the SanDisk Extreme and SanDisk Extreme PRO portable SSDs come in, with a sturdy aluminium chassis and a durable silicone shell to withstand substantial amounts of abuse on the go.

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD offers up to 1050MB/s read and 1000MB/s write speeds.
