USB flash drive SANDISK Extreme PRO 2 TB, USB Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 2, 1000/900 MB/s, Black

The SANDISK Extreme PRO USB flash drive delivers high-performance portable storage with up to 2 TB capacity, a USB Type-A connector and USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds. It is designed for fast transfers of large files, offering read speeds up to 1000 MB/s and write speeds up to 900 MB/s, and comes in a compact capless metal housing in black with a keyring hole for portability.

Advantages

High sustained read and write speeds reduce waiting times for moving or editing large media files. Large capacity options allow you to store extensive photo and video libraries or project archives on a single drive. The robust metal design with a keyring hole increases durability and makes the drive easy to carry. Compatibility with USB Type-A hosts provides broad cross-device use on many computers and some hubs.

Suitable for

• Photographers and videographers working with large RAW or 4K files
• Professionals who need fast portable project storage and transfer
• Users who require large-capacity external storage for backups or archives
• On-the-go users who want a durable, pocket-sized USB drive

When it may not be suitable

This drive uses a USB Type-A connector, so devices with only USB-C ports may require an adapter or a different model. If you need hardware encryption or enterprise-grade security features, this model does not advertise built-in encryption hardware. For simple, low-capacity needs where speed is not critical, a basic USB 2.0 or lower-capacity drive may be more cost-effective.

How to use

Insert the SANDISK Extreme PRO into a compatible USB Type-A port on your computer or host device. Transfers will use the USB 3.2 Gen 2 bandwidth when connected to a matching port; otherwise the drive will operate at the maximum speed supported by the host. Use your operating system’s file manager to copy, move, or open files. Optionally install the SanDisk app for automatic backups and use the included RescuePRO Deluxe software if file recovery is needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Check your device ports — this model has a USB Type-A connector (may require adapter for USB-C–only devices).
• Ensure your host supports USB 3.2 Gen 2 to achieve maximum speeds.
• Assess whether you need hardware encryption or enterprise security features not provided by this drive.
• Compare required capacity and budget — very high capacities may be more expensive per gigabyte than other options.

Usage recommendations

For best transfer performance, connect the drive to a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port and avoid filling the drive to full capacity when performing large consecutive transfers; leave some free space to maintain sustained write speeds. Regularly back up important files and consider using the SanDisk app for automated backups.
