The SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Dual Drive USB is an absolute beast of a flash drive. It’s a bit bulkier than the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe, but with 2TB of storage and up to 1000MB/s speeds, the added size makes sense—and honestly, it’s still pocketable and sleek enough. See my photos for size comparison between the Luxe, this Extreme PRO, and a pen.Performance-wise, it really delivers. In my disk speed tests, it consistently hits around 800MB/s read/write, and real-world large file transfers confirm those numbers. It’s super fast, and noticeably runs cooler than the Luxe, which is a nice bonus during long copy sessions.While the Luxe is already a fantastic drive, this model feels like a step up across the board. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but when you consider that this little USB stick offers performance and storage on par with my Samsung T7 2TB SSD—at a similar price point—it’s pretty amazing. I got this at $149 during Springs Sale btw.Highly recommended if you want high-speed, high-capacity portable storage in a compact form. Totally happy with this purchase.

This thing is FAST! Definitely worth the extra cost if your computer has the capability’s. The 2tb storage is great to have in a pocket drive and the dual usb capability makes this a must have for AV buffs like me. Almost as fast as my internal ssd, it ends those long wait times when transferring data. Would definitely buy it again! A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for here.

Fast transfer, but it does get very hot very fast when mounted on my phone. Not on my PC though.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have used many of the SanDisk iXpand devices previously, and they work great for backing up older iPhones such as the the iPhone13. This "new" model with the USB-C for the iPhone16 was not even recognized by the phone. It is recognized by a laptop using Windows, so the device seems to be working; but it is not recognized by the iPhone using the SanDisk "Memory Zone" app. Not sure if it's a dud or a terrible design, but this is a huge step backwards from the older iXpand devices that worked reliably for the prior iPhone versions. Advice to SanDisk, Don't fix what isn't broken.

Bought this specifically to use with Rekordbox and my DJ Library. Unmatched as far as speed goes. Every other USB I have used, rekordbox would run slow and laggy. Smooth as can be with this guy.

Large and heavy, but fast. Unless you really need 1Tb in one drive, 4 x 256 Tb could be better, though, because of the size and weight of this one.

There is a pleasant clicking sound with each rotation of the flash drive to the usb c or usb a port.I downloaded the encryption software from the official SanDisk website.Very pleased with the build quality and performance of the flash drive.I keep it in my large travel and document wallet.Worth every penny.
