We also have SanDisk’s proprietary SecureAccess data encryption utility preinstalled. This creates a password-protected “vault” folder on your SSD. The only catch here is that if you lose the password to that vault folder, there is nothing Sandisk can do to help you. So keep the password safe and somewhere you can easily find it.
The Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD also comes with an industry-leading 5-year warranty, which is an absolute deal considering other brands stick to 2-3 years maximum.

Performance and Durability
As it is with other SSD devices, the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD features zero moving parts, thus making it very rugged, to begin with. The IP55 rating means that the Extreme Pro SSD can withstand a splash of water, or even a 5-6 foot drop. however, the device is not waterproof. What we mean is that you cannot immerse the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD in water, or even expose it to dust storms or the beach. Part of the reason for this behavior is that the USB slots have no covers whatsoever. When this is the case, there is no way that the device can survive extreme conditions.
Despite these factors, the SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD shines in the performance department. On paper, SanDisk has promised transfer high-speed transfers with up to 550MB/s read speeds, and we are happy to report that these numbers ar every much accurate.
