Overview

Extreme 4TB portable SSD with 2000MB/s speeds and IP55 rating. The ultimate high-capacity drive for professionals on the go.

Rugged & Portable Analysis

Drop-tested, sealed, and 4.1TB of 2.0 GB/s fast — the SanDisk Extreme Pro 4TB is the rugged drive that keeps pace with an active workflow.

Adventure-Ready Storage

Rugged by design: the SanDisk Extreme Pro 4TB survives 2-meter drops, water immersion, and dust ingress. It is built for photographers in the field, contractors on site, and anyone whose storage leaves the desk.

No Speed Sacrifice

Durability meets performance: 2.0 GB/s reads and 2.0 GB/s writes in a package that survives drops and dunks. Most rugged drives at this price point cannot match these speeds. With 1,200 TBW, this is pro-grade endurance designed for sustained professional workloads. The 5-year warranty is well above the industry standard — a strong differentiator.

Ideal for

  • Outdoor photographers and drone pilots backing up in the field without a laptop
  • Journalists and documentarians working in unpredictable environments
  • Anyone who wants storage that keeps up with an active, on-the-go lifestyle
  • Construction and industrial sites where dust and drops are routine

4.1TB of weather-sealed storage that fits in a pocket. The SanDisk Extreme Pro 4TB goes where you go — no case required.

Pros

  • 4TB capacity with 2000MB/s read and write

  • 5-year warranty
  • Carabiner loop for easy carrying
