SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD 4TB USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External Solid State Drive (SSD) (Monterey) - SDSSDE61-4T00-G25M

The Monterey 4TB edition is the largest colorway of the Extreme Portable line's high-capacity tier, pairing four terabytes of flash storage with a finish that looks as distinctive as the capacity is serious. This is the drive for video editors, archivists, and media collectors who want an entire library portable and identifiable at a glance. The solid state design holds the library without spinning platters, and the drive connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 through a USB Type-C port on the host. For a setup where the working archive lives on one drive, this is the tier that makes that possible.
