Condition: New

Mascom International stocks the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 at KSh 17,200, brand new and sealed, with 1TB of solid-state storage, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection over USB-C and read speeds of up to 600MB/s. At 31.7 grams and under 10mm thick, the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 disappears into a pocket or pencil case. It works with Windows 10 and later, macOS 13 and later, and with phones running iOS 15 or Android 13 and later through the SanDisk app. The box includes a USB-C to USB-C cable. Collect it from our Kimathi Street store in the Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for university students, accountants, office administrators and families, the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 handles the everyday job of keeping important files in two places. Many Kenyans keep years of photos, KRA returns, eCitizen documents and M-Pesa statements on a single laptop or phone. One theft on a boda boda ride or a failed hard drive, and those files are gone. The SanDisk Portable SSD E10 gives you a second copy you can carry or lock in a drawer. Students at JKUAT and Strathmore use drives like this to protect a final-year project the night before submission.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push cheap flash sticks with unclear capacities, Mascom International offers the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 with genuine stock and a clear warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing more parents buy it to back up children's phone photos before upgrading handsets. Its rated drop protection of up to 2 metres covers the usual tumble from a desk. Test the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 against the faster E30 at our store, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the SanDisk Portable SSD E10
How much is the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 1TB in Kenya?
The SanDisk Portable SSD E10 1TB sells for KSh 17,200 at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, factory-sealed. That includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, Mascom International's 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties. Stepping up to the SanDisk Portable SSD E30 1TB costs KSh 2,300 more at KSh 19,500. The Lexar SL300 1TB sits KSh 6,800 higher at KSh 24,000, for buyers who need faster transfers.
Should I buy the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 or the SanDisk Portable SSD E30?
The SanDisk Portable SSD E10 reads at up to 600MB/s, while the SanDisk Portable SSD E30 reads at up to 800MB/s for KSh 2,300 more. For documents, photos and occasional video backups, the gap is hard to notice, because most folders copy in seconds on either. The E30 earns its higher price if you move large video files every week. Pick the E10 to save money on general backups, and the E30 if you edit footage or copy big folders daily.
How fast is the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 compared with a USB flash drive or hard drive?
The SanDisk Portable SSD E10 reads at up to 600MB/s, several times quicker than a typical spinning USB hard drive or budget flash stick. In practice, a 20GB folder of photos copies to a fast laptop in under a minute. A spinning drive would take several minutes for the same job. Real speed depends on your laptop's port: a 10Gbps USB-C port gets the full rate, and older USB ports slow it down.
Will the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 protect my files from KPLC power cuts and theft?
The SanDisk Portable SSD E10 keeps a second copy of your files away from your laptop, which is your best protection against theft and drive failure. Because it has no spinning parts, a KPLC outage during a backup cannot crash a disk head, though an unfinished copy should be repeated. Keep the drive at home or in the office when you commute, so a snatched laptop bag in town does not take both copies. Weekly backups suit most offices.
Can I back up my phone to the SanDisk Portable SSD E10?
Yes, the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 backs up iPhones running iOS 15 or later and Android phones running Android 13 or later through the SanDisk app. Plug the USB-C cable into your phone and copy photos, WhatsApp media and documents across. iPads on iPadOS 15 or later use the built-in Files app instead. Phones with older micro-USB ports need an adapter, so ask our team about one when you order. Clear the space and stop deleting memories to fit new apps.
How many photos and files fit on the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 1TB?
The SanDisk Portable SSD E10 1TB gives about 931GB of usable space, roughly 300,000 photos at 12 megapixels. Documents take almost nothing: years of KRA returns, invoices and scanned IDs fit in a few gigabytes. For video, expect about 128 hours of 1080p footage or about 47 hours of 4K at 30 frames per second. A small business in Industrial Area could back up every office computer's work folders onto one SanDisk Portable SSD E10 and still have room spare.
Is the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 a good choice for university students in Kenya?
Yes, the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 suits university students who need to keep coursework, projects and lecture notes safe without a cloud bill. At KSh 17,200 for 1TB, it costs less than many students spend on a semester of Safaricom or Airtel data for cloud uploads. Students at the University of Nairobi, Kenyatta University and Moi University can carry it between the library and hostel easily. Its 2-metre drop rating handles a fall from a lecture-hall desk.
Who should buy the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 and who should skip it?
Buy the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 if you want reliable 1TB backups for documents, photos and phone media at a modest price. Skip it if you edit 4K video from the drive or copy huge folders daily; the Lexar SL300 1TB at KSh 24,000 reads at up to 1050MB/s. Phone filmmakers should look at the SanDisk Creator Phone SSD instead. Gamers wanting PS5 internal expansion need an M.2 Gen4 drive such as the Lexar NM790 1TB.
Technical Specifications
Performance and Speed
- Read speed up to 600MB/s — a 20GB photo library copies to a laptop in under a minute on a fast port.
- Solid-state flash storage with no spinning disk, so files open instantly instead of waiting for a drive to spin up.
- Speeds apply to large continuous files; folders with thousands of small documents copy more slowly, as on any drive.
- A USB 3.2 Gen 2 port rated at 10Gbps delivers the full rate; older 5Gbps ports still work, more slowly.
- Phones with USB 2 ports transfer slower than a laptop, which is fine for overnight photo backups.
Capacity and Real-World Storage
- 1TB capacity, shown as about 931GB on computers and phones because they count storage in binary units.
- About 300,000 photos at 12 megapixels, enough for a family's whole collection across several phones.
- About 128 hours of 1080p video, or about 47 hours of 4K at 30 frames per second.
- Documents, spreadsheets and PDFs take tiny amounts of space, so years of business records fit with room left.
- SanDisk also sells a 500GB E10; Mascom International stocks the 1TB version described in this listing.
Interface and Compatibility
- USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface through a USB-C connector, matching most laptops and phones sold today.
- Works with Windows 10 and later, and with macOS 13 and later, for laptop and desktop backups.
- Works with iPhones on iOS 15 or later and Android phones on Android 13 or later through the SanDisk app.
- Works with iPads on iPadOS 15 or later through the built-in Files app, with no extra software needed.
- Ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable; older USB-A computers need an adapter, sold separately.
Build, Endurance and Reliability
- Weighs 31.7 grams, light enough to carry daily in a pocket, wallet pouch or pencil case.
- Measures about 75 x 45 x 10mm, smaller than a bank card in length and width.
- Drop protection up to 2 metres, as rated by SanDisk, covering falls from desks and car seats.
- No moving parts, so vibration from matatu and boda boda rides cannot damage the storage inside.
- SanDisk's 3-year limited warranty applies alongside the cover Mascom International provides at its Nairobi CBD desk.
Package Contents
The SanDisk Portable SSD E10 arrives with a USB-C to USB-C cable, a quick install guide and a warranty guide. That cable plugs straight into recent laptops, iPads, iPhones and Android phones. The drive takes its power through the cable, so no wall charger is needed. If your desktop or older laptop only has USB-A ports, ask for a USB-C to USB-A adapter at Mascom International.
Warranty
Mascom International gives the SanDisk Portable SSD E10 a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. SanDisk's own 3-year limited warranty also applies. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, with the drive and proof of purchase.
