This week I got a notice from Western Digital that they were having a two-day sale on Sandisk Extreme Pro v2 portable SSDs. I almost bought it but checked Amazon and saw it on sale there as well.
I ended up buying the 2TB version from Amazon, since I still had $70 to use from a birthday gift card. With the gift card and the 50% off (from the list price), I paid $198 for a 2TB Pro V2 Sandisk portable SSD.
Now, I realize that both my Mac Mini (M1) and MBA (M1) will bottle-neck this SSD drive since their USB bandwidth is 10 Gb/s (USB 3.1 Gen 2), but at some point, I may get a new system that has the latest USB (3.2 Gen 2x2). Think of it as future-proofing.
It would be nice for Sandisk to build these based on the Thunderbolt (v3) specs, though, especially since Apple has been using this spec for quite a while.
