The editors liked
This drive offers high performance when transferring largeblocksize data
But you need to have the additional hardware to take advantage of the throughput speeds. USB 3.1 Generation 2 is new to market
And very few computers ship with the interface right
The SanDisk Extreme 900 Portable SSD is super fast
And includes both a USB-C cable and a regular USB cable
So it'll work with all USB ports for the foreseeable future
Strong performance results
USB 3.1 allows for very fast speeds
Aluminium housing
The editors didn't like
Pricing is consistent with what we would expect
But we would like to see a reduction. The drive is bulky compared to the Samsung T3 that also ships in a 2TB capacity
Size but the Extreme 900 uses two SATA SSDs in RAID 0
So it has to be larger.
The drive is large and slightly more expensive compared to competing drives. The three-year warranty is too short

Expensive.
