SanDisk 8TB Extreme Portable SSD (Black) - USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C External SSD

The 8TB tier is the top of the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD range, and this black version is the answer for buyers whose library has simply stopped fitting anywhere else: eight terabytes of flash storage in a drive that still qualifies as portable. At this capacity, the SSD can hold a household's complete media archive, a studio's finished project library, or layered backups across multiple computers. The drive connects over USB 3.2 Gen 2 through a USB Type-C port, the interface current computers are built around, and the solid state design keeps the storage flash-based throughout. It is the end-of-the-line capacity for buyers who would rather not think about storage again for a long time.
