Sandisk Extreme Pro Solid State Flash Drive (Review)
Solid state flash drives blur the line between USB storage and external hard drives. The SanDisk Extreme Pro offers greater durability and much faster transfer speeds than a traditional flash drive, while maintaining a portable form factor.
Our own internal testing found that the Extreme Pro fell short of its promised speeds. But even an underperforming solid state flash drive is still faster than most other flash drives on the market.
The Extreme Pro is encased in an aluminum chassis, surrounded by a hard plastic casing that covers everything except the top handle and key ring. The product measures 2.79 x 0.84 x 0.45 inches. A small blue LED light illuminates when the drive is connected to a powered PC and blinks during active file transfers.
