This 1TB external solid-state drive weighs about 52 grams and fits in a shirt pocket. You can buy the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 today at our Nairobi CBD store, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. The drive connects over a single USB-C cable, needs no separate power supply, and works with laptops, phones, and consoles straight out of the box.
The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 suits photographers, videographers, content creators, and field professionals who shoot 4K footage and high-resolution RAW images across Kenya. A full memory card backs up in under two minutes at these speeds, so wedding shooters in Karen and event teams at the KICC clear cards between sessions without waiting. Software developers, accountants, and architects use the E61 V2 to carry project files, virtual machines, and large datasets between offices. The drive solves a real problem: laptops fill up fast, and cloud backups crawl on Kenyan internet during large uploads.
Mascom International stocks the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 at KSh 27,000 with pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so you only pay once the drive reaches you. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya who ship sealed boxes sight unseen, Mascom International lets you test the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 in person before purchase and confirm read and write speeds on the spot. Users consistently report transfer times that match the rated figures on USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. Visit our Kimathi Street store Monday through Saturday to handle the drive yourself.
Common Questions About the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2
How fast is the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 in real use?
The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 reaches up to 1050MB/s read and 1000MB/s write over USB 3.2 Gen 2. In practice, a 50GB video project copies in roughly one minute on a compatible USB-C port. That speed cuts the long waits associated with mechanical external hard drives, which top out near 120MB/s. Editors scrubbing 4K timelines can work directly off the drive without copying footage to the laptop first, freeing internal storage for active projects.
Does the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 work with PS5, Mac, and Android?
Yes. The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 works with Windows PCs, Mac computers, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Android phones with USB-C and OTG support. No drivers are needed on PC or Mac. On PS5 and Xbox, you can store and play backwards-compatible titles directly from the drive, saving internal console space. Phone users back up photos and videos through the included USB-C connection, useful when handset storage fills during long shoots.
Is the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 tough enough for fieldwork?
The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 carries an IP-rated build and survives drops from up to two metres. There are no moving parts inside, so vibration on Thika Road or a Mombasa highway run will not corrupt your data the way it can damage a spinning hard disk. A silicone edge and a carabiner loop let field engineers and NGO staff clip the drive to a bag during Turkana, Marsabit, or Garissa deployments. It handles dust and water splashes that ruin lesser drives.
Can I password-protect files on the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2?
Yes. The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection. You set a password once, and the drive locks all stored files behind it. This matters for lawyers carrying case documents from Milimani Law Courts, accountants moving KRA records, and medical staff handling patient data. If the drive is lost or stolen, the encryption keeps files unreadable without the password, so sensitive client information stays protected.
Is 1TB enough storage for my work?
One terabyte holds roughly 250,000 high-resolution photos, around 40 hours of 4K video, or thousands of office documents and design files. For most photographers, students, and small business owners in Kenya, 1TB covers a full project season before any offload is needed. Videographers shooting daily events may rotate two drives, but for general backup, photo libraries, and document archives, the 1TB capacity gives plenty of room at KSh 27,000.
How does the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 connect to older laptops?
The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 uses a USB-C port on the drive and ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable plus a USB-C to USB-A adapter. That adapter lets the drive plug into older laptops and desktops that still use rectangular USB-A ports, common across many Kenyan offices. You keep full speed on USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and step down gracefully on USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connections without losing access to your files.
Is the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 worth KSh 27,000 in Kenya?
At KSh 27,000, the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD E61 V2 1TB costs less than most laptop storage upgrades while moving with you between devices. Compared to a 1TB mechanical hard drive, it transfers roughly eight times faster, resists drops, and weighs a third as much. For creators and professionals who value time and data safety, the price works out to small daily cost over years of use. Mascom International backs it with a long manufacturer warranty.
