Flash storage solutions provider SanDisk expanded into the external storage market with the launch of the Type C-based SanDisk Extreme 900 portable solid-state drive (SSD); and the new pocket-sized SanDisk Extreme 500 portable SSD.
Ideal for professional photographers and videographers, the Sandisk Extreme 900 drive delivers up to nine times faster speeds than a portable hard drive in up to 1.92 terabytes (TB) capacities to move files in seconds. The SanDisk Extreme 500 portable SSD, on the other hand, offers speeds up to four times faster with capacities of up to 480GB.
“We designed this game-changing family of offerings to provide our customers with even greater speeds and capacities to keep up with rapidly increasing demands for high-quality content,” said Candy Gao, country manager for Hong Kong and Philippines of SanDisk Corporation.
Users of SanDisk Extreme 900 portable SSD can accommodate their content, whether they are filing or editing 4K ultra high-definition video, taking high-res photos or creating large graphic files, with up to 1.92TB of capacities at speeds up to 850MB per second. On the other hand, the SanDisk Extreme 500 SSD, which is available in 120GB and 240GB capacities of portable storage, can transfer big videos and photo libraries at speeds up to 415MB per second. With this performance, both SSDs reduce wait times while accelerating work flow.
The SanDisk Extreme 900 and 500 SSDs feature SanDisk SecureAccess 128-bit encryption to protect files.
Both SanDisk Extreme 900 and 500 portable drives are compatible with PC and Mac computers and works with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and Mac OS 10.4+.
The SanDisk Extreme 900 portable SSD in capacities of 480GB, 960GB and 1.92TB will be locally available in the fourth quarter at manufacturer’s suggested retail prices of P29,000, P43,500, and P72,500, respectively.
On the other hand, the SanDisk Extreme 500 portable SSD in capacities of 120GB and 240GB are now available at MSRPs of P7,250 and P10,850, while the 480GB-capacity will be available in the fourth quarter at a MSRP of P18,000.
