SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2 4TB is now available at Mascom International for KSh 67,000, in stock at our Nairobi CBD store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street. This 4TB drive reaches read and write speeds of up to 2000 MB/s through a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C connection. The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2 locks your files behind 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection. Its forged aluminium chassis and silicone shell handle drops of up to 3 metres, while a carabiner loop clips the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD onto a camera bag for outdoor work.
Built for Kenya's content creators, photographers, and videographers, the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2 holds roughly 80 hours of 4K footage on its 4TB capacity. Wedding photographers shooting in Karen, event videographers covering the KICC, and YouTubers editing from Nairobi studios fill memory cards fast on every job. Offloading 128GB of RAW files takes around two minutes at full read speed, freeing cards for the next session. Software developers backing up code repositories and architects moving large CAD files also gain from the 2000 MB/s throughput. The drive runs 4K editing timelines directly, so footage never needs copying to a laptop first.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International stocks the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2 4TB with verified specifications and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. Users consistently report steady transfer speeds across long editing sessions, helped by the aluminium chassis that acts as a heatsink. The 4TB capacity works out to roughly KSh 16.75 per gigabyte, far cheaper than buying four separate 1TB drives. Customers across Nairobi report the carabiner loop and IP65 rating hold up during outdoor shoots at Lake Naivasha and Diani. Visit Mascom International to handle the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD before you pay.
Common Questions About the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2
What is the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2 4TB best used for?
The 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD suits video editors, photographers, and gamers who move large files daily. Its 2000 MB/s speed lets you edit 4K and 6K timelines straight off the drive without lag. Content creators across Nairobi use it to store RAW photo libraries, podcast sessions, and project backups in one place. The 4TB capacity replaces several smaller drives, cutting clutter for studios that shoot weddings, events, and corporate work every week.
How fast is the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2?
The drive reads and writes at up to 2000 MB/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, twice the pace of older 1050 MB/s portable SSDs. A 50GB video project copies in under a minute on a compatible 20 Gb/s laptop port. The forged aluminium body doubles as a heatsink, holding speeds steady through long transfers instead of throttling. Real-world speeds depend on your laptop, so a port that supports the full 20 Gb/s connection matters for hitting the rated figures.
How much 4K video can the 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD hold?
The 4TB capacity stores roughly 80 hours of standard 4K footage, depending on bitrate and codec. At higher 6K or ProRes settings, expect closer to 20 to 30 hours. For photographers, that translates to tens of thousands of RAW files from a full-frame camera. Wedding and event shooters in Nairobi can keep several complete projects on one drive, avoiding constant card-swapping. Actual counts vary with frame rate, resolution, and the camera used during each shoot.
Does the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD work with PS5 and Xbox Series X?
Yes, the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD works as external storage for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. You can store PS5 games and play PS4 titles directly from the drive, freeing internal console space. On Xbox Series X it holds and runs your game library, though sustained speeds vary by title. Gamers in Nairobi use it to carry installed libraries between consoles. Note that PS5 plays its own next-gen titles only from internal or installed NVMe storage.
Can I use the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD with an iPhone or iPad?
Yes, the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD works with iPhone 16 and recent iPad Pro models over USB-C. On Apple devices, transfer speeds cap at around 1000 MB/s, since Apple hardware does not support the full 20 Gb/s connection. The drive is not compatible with iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro. Videographers shooting ProRes on an iPhone 16 can record straight to the drive, saving internal storage for daily phone use during shoots.
How durable is the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2?
The drive carries an IP65 rating, meaning it resists dust fully and shrugs off water jets during outdoor shoots. It survives drops of up to 3 metres thanks to the forged aluminium chassis and silicone shell.The carabiner loop clips it to a bag, keeping it secure on location at Lake Naivasha, Diani, or dusty upcountry roads.
How secure is the data on the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD?
The drive protects files with 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password locking through the SanDisk app. Once set, nobody opens the drive without your password, even if it is lost or stolen. This matters for lawyers carrying case files, accountants moving client records, and creators protecting unreleased footage. Password protection runs on Windows 8 and later plus macOS 10.9 and later. Your data stays sealed during the daily commute between Westlands, Upper Hill, and Nairobi CBD client meetings.
Is the SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD E81 V2 worth KSh 67,000 in Kenya?
At KSh 67,000, the 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD costs roughly KSh 16.75 per gigabyte, strong value for a drive this fast and rugged. Cheaper 1050 MB/s drives cost less upfront but double your transfer wait on every project. For working photographers and editors, the time saved across a year of shoots pays for the difference. Mascom International backs it with pay-on-arrival delivery, so you inspect the drive before paying a shilling.
