SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 1TB up to 550MB/s read Solid State Drive

Product Information

As compared to 7200 RPM SATA 2 hard drive. Based on published specifications and internal benchmarking tests. When used with a USB Type-C cable, the SanDisk Extreme rises above the competition with some stellar numbers. The design and form factor are spot on and while we have one reservation regarding the bundled cable, you can’t go wrong at this price. PCMark Vantage scores generated using a 3.4GHz Intel i7-3770 processor on an Intel Z77 chipset with 8GB of Memory, Windows 8 64bit SP1 and version 11.7.0.1013 of the Intel iRST driver. NVMe™ solid state performance with 2,000MB/s 2 read write speeds in a portable drive that’s never not fast SanDisk Extreme Pro leverages our lightning-fast in-house NVMe technology to dramatically increase transfer speeds to up to 1050 MB/s 6 and fully saturate the USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface. 6 So you’ll be able to edit right from the drive – providing full-frame editing with little interruption while saving you time and keeping your computer’s internal storage free.

From SanDisk, the brand professional photographers worldwide trust to handle best shots on their toughest assignments. Hard drives based on magnetic retention of data are better in this respect, since the retention time is greater if the device is kept properly. We saw some good numbers here, with the caveat that the Type-C connector – not Type-A – was used. This little SanDisk product outperformed all non-Thunderbolt 3 drives we’ve tested with CrystalDiskMark, delivering nearly 560MBps in terms of read speed and just over 500MBps in write. A 100GB file was transferred in 294 seconds, which equates to a transfer rate of about 334MBps.

LaCie, Seagate, Glyph, WD, Lexar and G-Technology also have similar rugged and high capacity external SSDs, but none of them have a unique selling point that would make them stand out against the T5, the SE730H or the SanDisk.Trust your gaming to an SSD with superior performance so consistent it's guaranteed to last for a decade. Flash memory based drives have now implemented a special "wear" algorithm, such that new data is written on cells that are not progammed with data, and so files are moved continuosly across the drive to mentain a balance of erase/program for all the cells, otherwise if a file is continuously written and modified on the same memory cells, these will wear after those few hundred of cycles and not be able to be used anymore. That is why a worn out SSD drive, that has reached a TBW spec, will not retain the information for long. The Extreme PRO is SanDisk's new flagship SSD with a groundbreaking 10-year warranty and the best SATA III performance we've measured to date.” Save time storing and transferring data with the forged aluminum chassis that also acts as a heatsink to deliver higher sustained speeds. Give your gaming an edge with data that never gives up. The SanDisk ® Extreme PRO ® SSD was engineered to protect the brains of the operation.

We devote hundreds of hours of rigorous testing to help make sure your drive is worthy of your best work — and so you know your precious files are in good hands. The Extreme PRO® SSD works with PCs and Mac™ computers right out of the box and connects with USB Type C and Type A, 3 making it easy to start and keep working in almost any situation. Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:

Upgrade your game with super-fast SSD performance that lasts.

Now, to answer your question, powering up the drive containing that memory does not refresh it's content. You can keep it powered up continuously, the information stored in the transistors is NOT UPDATED OR REFRESHED by the power applied to device, unless you write again the information. This principle of refreshing the data from time to time is used in the RAM memory in computers, and losing power leads to losing data. The sole connector on the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is a USB 3.1 (Gen 2) port which is handy when used with the bundled Type-C to Type-C cable, allowing it to hit up to 550MBps according to the manufacturer – a fraction higher than when you use it with the bundled Type-A adaptor. From SanDisk, the brand professional photographers worldwide trust to handle their best shots and footage. There’s not much competition in this price range. The Samsung T5, which costs marginally less and is far more portable, is the only rival that is widely available. It is not IP-rated, though, and its metallic surface is likely to get scratched easily. The drive has a rated maximum data transfer rate of 10Gbps, but in reality, it never reaches that because of the inherent limitations of the physical port.

Up to three-meter drop protection and IP65 water and dust resistance 5 mean this durable drive can take a beating. Creative professionals know the value of storage space. With capacities of up to 2TB, 5 you’ll have enough room for the files you need to work on or deliver. Get fast NVMe™ solid state performance featuring 1050MB/s 2 read and 1000MB/s 2 write speeds in a portable, high-capacity drive that’s perfect for creating amazing content or capturing incredible footage. The small and light form factor of the Extreme PRO® SSD means it couldn’t be easier to keep your content with you whether you’re crossing town or traveling to an international location. Co BIY said:How often does an external SSD drive need to be powered up or plugged in to maintain the data ?Another thing about the flash memory is the indurance of the cell, how many times the memory cell accepts write/erase cycles until it starts to "wear" and not store anymore the information. That number is in the hundreds now days. If you read correctly the specification of an SSD drive, you will find a specification called "TBW", total bytes written. Dividing that number by the capacity of the drives yields the number of erase/write cycles that will wear the cells. Get powerful NVMe™ solid state performance featuring 2000MB/s 2 read/write speeds in a portable drive that’s reliable enough to take on any adventure. There is an Anandtech article that discusses findings that a worn out drive (at the end of its endurance rating) can lose data much faster depending on temperature: https://www.anandtech.com/show/9248/the-truth-about-ssd-data-retention
