SanDisk has updated its portable storage lineup in India with two new solid-state drives: the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD and the standard SanDisk Portable SSD. The new drives are positioned to provide faster transfer rates for modern workflows, offering updated read speeds and storage capacities that max out at 4TB.

SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD Specifications

The higher-end model in the lineup, the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, is built for users who regularly transfer large files, such as video editors and photographers. It supports read speeds of up to 2,000MB/s. According to SanDisk, this bandwidth allows users to move 1,000 high-resolution photos in under a minute.

For physical protection, the Extreme model features a ruggedized exterior that provides up to three meters of drop protection alongside an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance.

It also supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption for password-protecting sensitive files. The drive is available in 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities. The 1TB version is priced at Rs. 29,599, the 2TB at Rs. 52,999, and the 4TB at Rs. 99,999. It comes with a five-year limited warranty.

The standard SanDisk Portable SSD is a step down in both price and specifications, targeted at students and office workers for general file backup and media storage. It halves the read speed of the Extreme model, capping out at 1,000MB/s, which remains a standard benchmark for modern USB-C drives.

This base model lacks the IP65 rating of the Extreme version but retains a baseline level of durability with up to two meters of drop protection. Storage options for the standard model are limited to 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB.

The 1TB model costs Rs. 18,999, and the 2TB variant is priced at Rs. 33,999. It includes a three-year limited warranty.

Both the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD and the standard Portable SSD are available for purchase now across major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon India, as well as through various offline retail stores across the country.

In related news, Samsung has recently launched its P9 and P7 USB4 portable SSDs, offering transfer speeds of up to 4,000 MB/s and storage capacities of up to 8TB.
