## Description

SanDisk Professional 2TB PRO-G40 SSD up to 2700MB/s, External Solid State Drive, Thunderbolt 3 (40Gbps), USB-C (10Gbps) Ultra-rugged IP68 dust/water resistance

Review: Super fast - Probably the fastest portable drive currently available. Using it on a Mac Mini and it is nearly as fast as the inbuilt storage. Makes editing videos and photos super quick. The design is very sleek and it is small and very portable. It stays cooler than expected. The included cable is quite short but does the job. It is really expensive and only provides the top speeds with thunderbolt. If you have only usb 3.2 or don’t need the fastest available then there are much cheaper options available.
Review: it's sandisk, it's brilliant - i wanted a fast 2tb drive for my MBP. i looked at other makes but they were fast on a PC but some reason were throttled and didnt run full speed on a Mac. I did more research and found this drive that is very fast and runs full speed on my 14 inch M1 MBP I cant recommend it highly enough

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the significance of 40gbps if the drive can only transfer at 2700mb/s? isn't only around 7% of 40gbps?**
A: Drive transfer is 2700 MB/s (mega bytes/s), since 1 byte=8 bits so 2700 x 8= 21600 mb/s, which is more than 50% of 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt

**Q: Will it work with the new iPhone 15 Pro Max for recording video direct?**
A: Unclear. I’ve ordered an iPhone Pro Max but cannot even find information about whether or not it will work at speed with Thunderbolt 4 cable. Apple only says that it is “compatible” while it mentions specifically other devices like MacBooks that would benefit with top transfer speeds up to 40GBps.

**Q: imac 2017 model 10.13.6 - nearly to of memory - will this work on my older iMac?  Connects ok to the ports (no idea what they're called)...thanks!**
A: It’s my understanding that Apple’s Thunderbolt ports are backward compatible. So it should work. But you won’t get the full speed this drive is capable of delivering. This is a Thunderbolt 3 design.

**Q: Need to back up 500gb of 2012 MacBook Pro; would this be a good choice to do so? (No lightning/usbc port)**
A: It wouldn’t, no. I had no luck using it with a USB-C to USB-A cable, not adapter. I tried several brands/kinds, but none worked. If I recall, TB 1 and 2 don’t offer power output, so you’re out of luck there as well.

Though, if you want to spend an unreasonable amount of money on this, plugging the drive into a TB3 or 4 dock and connecting that dock to the laptop using a TB3 ->TB2 adapter may work.
