Pros and cons

According to our External SSD expert

You can quickly transfer you files thanks to the transfer speed of 2GB/s.
This external SSD is dustproof, water-resistant, and shockproof, so you don't have to worry about external influences.
With a combination of password protection and hardware-based encryption, your files are doubly secured.
The included USB-C cable is about as long as the drive itself, so it's relatively short and doesn't offer as much freedom of movement.

Description

The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD is twice as fast as its predecessor. This SSD has a read speed of up to 2GB/s, which allows you to transfer a 4K movie in about 30 seconds. With 2TB of storage, you can store up to 200,000 photos or 100 movies of 1.5 hours in 4K quality on this SSD. You can also store 3 or 4 large .mov video files that you've recorded yourself for a professional company video, for example. The Extreme Portable Pro has password protection and hardware-based encryption. This extra security is driven by a separate part on the SSD, so your files have double protection. This SanDisk SSD is also shockproof, water-resistant, and dust-resistant, On top of that, you get a 5-year warranty on the SSD. On the go often? Hang the SSD on your bag or belt with the carrying ring.

Review is 8,0 out of 10.

Not a good purchase for Apple computers.

Small
USB-C and USB-A cable included
Gets (very) hot, but makes sense

On my Apple Mac Studio I get a speed of about 830Mb/s and not the advertised 2,000Mb/s. This is because this speed is only achievable via USB 3.2 2x2. Thunderbolt 4 does not support this (yet). In my situation, the non Pro is just as fast.

Recommended for virtualization or gaming

Compact housing
Solid build quality
Fast and silent (obviously)
Gets a little warm with prolonged strenuous exercise

For my training as a system and network administrator I needed extra storage space for my virtual machines: we do need a few per course and they require a lot of storage space. I tried to put these virtual machines on a 2TB internal HDD but these virtual machines became practically unresponsive. An external HDD also offered no solution, so I opted for this SSD from Sandisk, which is the solution. Fast virtual machines, more than enough storage space to start virtualizing seriously with domains set up and so on. As a bonus, virtual machines are also mobile and you can use them on your desktop, laptop, at school... Besides this, it also works very smoothly for gaming. Games between 50GB and 100GB of storage run smoothly. the loading times are slightly longer than they are on your internal SSD, but certainly not worth worrying about. Of course, in addition to these things, this SSD is also very suitable for other data storage.

Decent but at the price

Robust construction
Specified transfer rate is not met

When measured with disk speedtest, it is noticeable that the disk performs considerably less than the built-in SSD. The built-in SSD has a throughput speed of around 2 Gb/s, the Sandisk drive just manages 800 Mb/s. Considered returning, but according to Coolblue, the alternative, the Samsung T7 drive, would be a bit slower.
