About the SanDisk Extreme PRO USB-A

4K video and large photo folders are what the Extreme PRO is for, plugged into a USB-A port on your laptop or desktop. It comes in 512GB or 1TB inside an aluminum casing that measures 2.8 x 0.8 x 0.4 inches and weighs 0.63 oz.

SanDisk rates reads at up to 420 MB/s on USB 3.2 Gen 1, and the 1TB writes at up to 380 MB/s, so filling it is nearly as quick as reading from it. You also get SecureAccess encryption and a download of RescuePRO Deluxe for recovering deleted files.
