SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD V2: higher performance, new body

Overall score and performance on macOS

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD was one of the first external SSDs we’ve tested. After the test, it became my sidekick and I’ve been using it to this day. However, some time has passed since its introduction in 2018 and the manufacturer now brings a revised version with the same name. The novelty has double the speed in specifications, hardware encryption and several improvements of the insides.

Overall score and performance on macOS

The overall score is 77% higher than the previous model, which is expected due to improvements across all tests. We also see an improvement in the benchmark on macOS, but surprisingly, the SSD achieved better numbers in writing than reading. Here too, however, we see that SanDisk lags slightly behind WD My Passport or Patriot PXD.
