Um.. that was not their point. In fact, quite the opposite.

USB 3.1 Gen 2 has a max speed of 10Gbps (gigabits). That equals a theoretical max of 1.25GB/s (gigabytes) or 1250MB/s. Factor in 10-15% overhead for USB, which means that 1050/1000 MB/s is nearing the practical limit of the interface.

The drive inside is likely capable of higher speeds, but the USB interface is holding it back.

I'll save you a click. There's a current $30 off promo for 1TB and 2TB: $109.99 and $219.99. Pretty good if you don't want to wait another month to buy.

Very useful for photographers and videographers, as well as anyone who backs up files on location and/or edits on location.

Example: I'm a photographer who travels sometimes hundreds or thousands of miles away to shoot weddings, so I back up the cards via laptop to these SSDs the same night at the hotel.

Sometimes when I'm on vacation and it's a rainy day, I might stay in to cull weddings that may be as large as 300-400GB each. Hence, why I have multiple 2TB externals (some are SanDisk, some are NVMes slotted into a USB-C adapter).

It's as CommonScientist says- 1050/1000 MB/s. I don't believe there is any drive out there capable of more than 7000MB/s. If the usb wire can support some great speed that doesn't mean the drive is capable of producing that speed.

Are these Sandisk external models any better than the Samsung external drives (T5 and T7)?

Can I connect this one to the new Apple Macbook pro 16 inches? Do I need any other cables or accessories for connecting to the latest Macbook pro?

That 16 MBP is a way overkill for you if you already don't know the answer to this.

It's a USB-C drive. New macbooks have 3 USB-C ports. You don't need anything else.
Thank you 🙏

You know, I find replies like this fascinating. The other day there was a guy crapping on the Crucial X8 thread about how slow that NVMe was — and praising the SATA interface-limited EVO 860 for speed.

What would you expect the read speed to be out of curiosity? Keep in mind this is through a 10Gbps USB-C interface.

Anyone know if these house a standard size SSD? As-in, a standard 2.5" or NVMe? Reason I am asking is to see if it can be taken apart to swap out for a larger drive?

It's the USB 3.1 spec a.k.a. USB-C port on these. not the drive itself.

I see. You have a legitimate purpose. I mentioned to another SDer that i'd use it for family pictures. But I think i'd be better off getting a larger capacity but a HD or a SSD since it'll be once or twice a month that I'll access those files in a year.

I have probably 1k .nef unedited family pictures from my other HDs that I should probably move. Used to shoot with a d90 5-8 years ago then I stopped.
