Western Digital Corporation expands the SanDisk portfolio of brands with the SanDisk DeskDrive. At 8TB, the new storage solution is the storage manufacturer’s largest external SSD to date. The external SSD is designed for the office and provides plenty of storage space in a compact chassis that’s slightly larger than a computer mouse. The SSD will soon be available with capacities of 4 and 8 TB and next year (2025) even with 16 TB. The SSD connects using the included USB-C cable and transfers data at up to 1000MB/s.
Specifically designed for photo and video professionals as well as technology enthusiasts, the new drives allow fast and reliable backup and access to high-resolution photos, videos and files in a central location.
Digital content creation is constantly increasing. This increases the need for high-performance, high-capacity storage solutions. With the new SSDs, SanDisk delivers backup solutions that are fast and provide the flexibility needed to unleash creativity and manage content efficiently.
Next year, the capacity of the SanDisk Desk Drive is expected to double from 8 to 16 TB
