SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD

The SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD is a versatile solid-state drive that combines durability, fast performance, and value in a compact package.

Compatible with Mac and Windows out of the box. Comes with software that enables 128-bit AES encryption. Compact size. Shock and vibration resistant. Speedy performance. Good per-gigabyte price for an SSD.

Short, USB 3.0–only cord.

If you want a hardy, speedy SSD that fits into the palm of your hand and miraculously won't burn a hole in your wallet, the SanDisk Extreme 500 is a safe bet. It's not fully ruggedized, but it is shock and vibration resistant, and 128-bit encryption...

SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD Review

The SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD is a value-focused external flash-based product for those who need rugged high-speed storage while on the go.

The performance and price stand out, but we also found value in the software package that enables 128-bit encryption

I'm not sold on the advanced software features coming as a paid upgrade. If the software has the capability, then we feel SanDisk should include it as a value-add to make this series more attractive than the products coming from Samsung

Overall, we like the SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD and would buy one if needed. These products are not for everyone. Advanced thumb drives have increased in capacity and are smaller, but fail to deliver the same high transfer rates of data. The gap...

SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD 240GB review

The SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD is a thin, portable SSD storage drive that also boasts fast benchmark speeds. Here's our review of the drive.

For those that need high-speed portable storage, the Extreme 500 is a solid choice. Capacities extend to 480GB which should be fine for most people. If you need more, look no further than the Samsung T3.

Review: Review: SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable SSD

The hard drive is still a great way to backup your data, but it's not the only way, with solid-state drives also a big deal. Finally, SanDisk has decided to get into the portable solid-state sector, and it's not just because its rivals are doing the same.

Kind of ruggedised; Fairly fast; Neat design; Can be used out of the box with no setup needed;

Not as fast as the competition; No USB Type C cable;

VERY Fast!!

I use this with my BootCamp Windows 10 install on my MacBook Pro to run GTA V off of (so that I don't have to dedicate an more space to the bootcamp partition). Honestly, the load times are almost as fast as if I was running it straight off the...

- small, sturdy, very fast SSD

- accompanying USB cable is a tad short (although it's so light, it can effectively dangle without issue)
