The outer shell of the Extreme Pro SSD is covered in Silicone rubber, which makes the device feel nice and grippy but it also feels that much more bulky as compared to other SSD devices in its bracket.
We also don’t have an LED indicator. SSD devices make next to zero noise, so without a helpful LED indicator, its very difficult to understand whether or not your data is being worked upon.
Coming to the rest of the hardware, Sandisk does a great job of including two USB cables, one USB-C-to-USB-A and one USB-C-to-USB-C. It’s useful to note that the interface here is the USB 3.1 with backward compatibility. however, we have seen a marked performance differential if you use the Extreme Pro SSD with a USB 3.0 port.
