Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Anyone actually getting 2000MB/s? I'm using this with a Thunderbolt 4 cable directly into my M1 max Thunderbolt port and I get 950MB/s...

A: Max speed is under optimal conditions. File format and size of files can have impact on the actual sustained transfer speeds.

Q: 2. What is this drive pre-formatted in?

A: The format is not specified. You would need to format it to the tile system type you need.

Q: 3. I have this 2tb Pro SSD with the (theoretical) 2GB/s speed. I've run TechTool's speed test on this drive when plugged into a brand new 14" MacBook Pro. As others have stated, I'm only seeing about 1GB/s (half speed). I've tried the included USB cable, as well as a Thunderbolt 4 cable. I guess there's no way to get full speed from this SSD on even the newest Macs. Any suggestions on how to do it?

A: The SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD V2, (B&H # SAE812TB), requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connection which Apple computers do not support. It is not possible to reach these speeds with a Mac, at best it will reach 1GB/s which is what you are reaching now so the drive is working as it should. If you want to reach higher speeds with an external SSD, you would need to look into a Thunderbolt 3/4 SSD like the SanDisk Professional 2TB PRO-G40 SSD Thunderbolt 3 Portable SSD, (B&H # SAS312TB).
