If you're looking for a rugged portable SSD, then the SanDisk Extreme 1TB portable SSD is currently £178 (was £225) at Amazon in the Spring Deal Days sale.
It may not be the fastest or highest capacity, but for a reliable all-rounder external drive, it's one we easily recommend for both work and play. It performed extremely well during our tests, with some superb numbers during benchmarks, and has remained a favourite of ours for years now.
Today's top portable SSD deal
The SanDisk Extreme portable SSD has long been one of our favourite external drives - it's everything most people will need from a reliable and durable drive.
In our review, we called it "hands-down one of the best external SSDs (rugged or not) on the market, and its 1TB version is particularly attractive compared to the other SKUs. Some cracking performance numbers and a very low price make this product hard to fault."
It boasts a robust and rugged design, with an IP65 rating protecting it from dust and water - specifically, it's sealed to prevent dust ingress, and is spill-proof but not water-proof.
During testing using USB-C, we saw some good numbers. Read/write speeds are up to 1050 MB/s and 1,000MB/s respectively.
Want faster speeds? The SanDisk Pro is now £199 (was £236) at Amazon, and can hit up to 2000 MB/s read speeds and features 256-bit AES hardware encryption.
