SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD V3

Overview

The SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD V3 is a rugged, high-speed drive built for photographers and videographers who need fast, reliable storage for backing up large projects, freeing up device space, or keeping content organised across multiple systems. Its plug-and-play USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface delivers read speeds of up to 2000 MB/s, while IP65 dust and water resistance and drop protection to 3 m keep files safe in demanding shooting conditions. With 4TB of capacity, hardware-based 256-bit AES encryption, and compatibility with Windows, Mac, iOS, iPadOS, and Android, it is equally at home backing up a studio archive or working from a card in the field.

Fast Transfers Up to 2000 MB/s

A 20 Gb/s USB-C 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface provides bus power straight from the connected device, so no separate power cable is needed. Sequential read speeds of up to 2000 MB/s mean large photo and video libraries move across quickly, cutting the time spent waiting on transfers between shoots. Achieving the full 20 Gb/s speed requires a host device certified for USB 3.2 Gen 2x2; Apple devices, including Thunderbolt/USB4 models, are limited to 10 Gb/s.

Rugged, IP65-Rated Design

Built to handle life outside the studio, the drive is rated IP65 for resistance to dust and water, and can withstand drops from up to 3 m.

• IP65-rated resistance to dust and water.
• Drop-resistant to 3 m (unrated).
• Carabiner loop for quick attachment to a bag or belt.

Hardware-Based 256-Bit AES Encryption

Built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection keeps stored content private, so files stay secure even if the drive is lost or stolen.

Compact, Pocket-Sized Build

The compact enclosure slips easily into a pocket or small bag, making it simple to carry footage, photos, and project files without adding bulk to a kit.
