If i connect this drive to a tb3 port, what speed will i get?

This is one of the first USB-C 3.2 gen 2X2 devices on the market. SanDisk claims read/write speeds of up to 2GB/s, which is 16Gbps. Obviously, a 5Gbps USB 3.0 connection or a 10 Gbps USB 3.1/3.2 gen 2 connection won't be sufficient to support the drive's maximum bandwidth requirements. USB-C 3.2 gen 2X2 supports a speed of 20 Gbps, which is sufficient to support this drive. Unfortunately, very few computers and no USB hubs that I know of support the gen 2X2 standard yet. However, a TB3 port, with its speed of 40 Gbps, will support this drive at its maximum read/write speeds of 2GB/s. Right now, TB3 is the only way to get the rated speed out of it. Otherwise, you might as well get the old version.

Would a macbook pro 2013, read and write 2000 mb/s? or would i need a 2x2 ucb-c port? because i know it depends on the device/host to get the 2000mb/s

Macbook Pro 2013 (Retina, 13", late 2013) has two Thunderbolt 2 and two USB 3 Type A ports (or what is now called USB 3.2 Gen1). you should use the correct caps for the terms (e.g. MB/s vs Mb/s, etc), because they mean different things and people are often confused when x doesn't do y because of it. MB or GB is Mega or Giga "byte". Mb or Gb is Mega or Giga "bit". The Thunderbolt 2 ports have transfer speed up to 20Gb/s (equal to 2.5GB/s or 2500MB/s). The USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports have transfer speed up to 5Gb/s (equal to 625MB/s). SanDisk Extreme Pro has capability of up to 2000MB/s (or 2GB/s) read/write, so to maximize read/write capability of the SanDisk you would want to use the Thunderbolt 2 ports. You'll need an USB C-Thunderbolt 2 adapter or USB C-Thunderbolt 2 cable, though. You can still use the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A port on the Macbook Pro 2013, but the bottle neck will be the 625MB/s transfer speed of the port versus the 2000MB/s read/write of the SanDisk drive.

No. It would easily fit in your shirt pocket and you might forget it was there. This is a very fast SSD external hard drive. If I purchase any more external hard drives, this one will probably be the one I purchase again. I highly recommend it. Having said that, I wouldn't give you two cents for their worthless customer support.

P**！

喉から手が出るほど欲しいでもAMD X570チップセットでは対応してない。勿論3.2Gen2には対応しているがこのSSDのポテンシャルを100%引き出せない。まぁProは見送って、下位モデルのExtremeで我慢しようと思う。これが堅実な選択なのだろう。ちなみに買ってもいないのにレビュー欄に投稿しても良かったのだろうか？……

A**I

The SanDisk Extreme PRO Portable SSD 2TB is an excellent external drive for fast file transfers and reliable storage. The NVMe technology delivers very impressive speeds, and I was able to move large files and videos quickly without noticeable delays. The drive feels compact and well built, making it easy to carry in a bag or pocket. It’s especially useful for backing up large files or working with media projects where speed matters. The only downside is the price, which is higher than standard external drives. However, considering the performance and build quality, it feels worth it if you need fast portable storage. Overall, a powerful and dependable portable SSD for anyone needing quick data transfer and extra storage.

Le SSD est super. Très petit et léger, il a l'air très solide et est également très performant. La vitesse de lecture et d'écriture est très élevée. Dans la boîte, deux câbles de 20 cm sont fournis : un USB-C vers USB-C et un USB-C vers USB-A. Je l'utilise principalement pour enregistrer du ProRes directement depuis mon boîtier Lumix S5IIX, et il fonctionne parfaitement. J'ai lu sur Internet que certains modèles ont des problèmes de fiabilité, mais moi, personnellement, je n'ai jamais eu de soucis. Si je rencontre un problème, je mettrai à jour ce commentaire, mais pour l'instant, je recommande !
