For information on the upgrade process, please consult the following link:
All current SecureAccess users are advised to upgrade to PrivateAccess. SanDisk bundles its SecureAccess utility which provides a password-protected, 128-bit AES-encrypted vault on the drive for important and sensitive information.īacked by a five-year warranty and costing £170, let's now see how it compares against some high-quality competition.SecureAccess has been replaced with PrivateAccess. Storage performance has increased over time whilst form factor has become smaller and slimmer. Knowing the intrinsic performance qualities of that drive, it is only the USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps interface holding it back. The storage weapon of choice here is a WD Black SN750 bridged on over to USB-C. They're longer, too, at 30cm versus 17cm, and there's a satisfying clunk as the cable engages with the PRO's port.īeing part of the WD family enables SanDisk to choose from a wide variety of internal NVMe SSDs. This model also beats out its WD cousin by having both Type-C-to-Type-C and Type-C-to-Type-A cables in the box. SanDisk rightfully shies away from any gaudy lighting. We'd recommend SanDisk includes a removable cap as it has done on older Extreme models. Bear in mind it's not completely waterproof as there's no cover for the Type-C connection at the bottom. Rated to IP55 means it's largely resistant to dust ingress and water.
#SANDISK SECURE ACCESS V3 REVIEW PRO#
Extreme PRO Portable, however, lives up to its name by having basic ruggerdisation qualities. Measuring 110mm long, 57mm wide, 10.2mm thick and weighing 78g, it's not as small as the newer WD My Passport SSD 2020. Portability is enhanced by a metal loop designed for attaching to a backpack, but going down this route makes the drive larger than it strictly needs to be. It's easy on the eye and features soft-touch silicone rubber around an anodised aluminium frame. It's worth knowing that V1 and V2 models share an identical casing.
#SANDISK SECURE ACCESS V3 REVIEW PORTABLE#
Setting the scene for future SanDisk reviews, we have the original Extreme PRO Portable SSD 1TB in for review today. Newer models, distinguished by a V2 suffix, up the ante by practically doubling transfer speed to 2,000MB/s via a USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 interface. Peak speeds are up to 1,050MB/s for sequential reads. The original, released in 2019, is offered in 500GB, 1TB and 2TB capacities and connects via USB-C over the 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) standard. The company sells the popular Extreme PRO Portable line of external SSD storage in two versions. Though oftentimes bearing similar technology on the inside, SanDisk goes easier on the design razzamatazz by eschewing RGB lighting and go-faster stripes for a more grown-up look and feel. SanDisk is considered the prosumer arm of parent company WD's storage empire.
