SanDisk Extreme PRO SD Express Card Reader + SSD

This listing combines a portable SSD with a USB4 reader for SD Express cards, giving photographers one device for ingesting and staging large media files. SanDisk documents its USB4 SSD and Extreme PRO card-reader products separately, so confirm the exact bundle SKU before relying on the title. [SanDisk SSD support](https://support-en.sandisk.com/app/products/product-detailweb/p/9423) and [SanDisk card reader](https://www.sandisk.com/products/accessories/memory-card-readers/sandisk-extreme-pro-uhs-ii-usb-3-0-type-c-sd-card-reader-writer?sku=SDDR-409-Z46)

No, it should still connect through a compatible USB-C setup, but the fastest SSD transfers require a USB4-capable host, cable, and port. On slower hardware, the device will be limited by the connection rather than the SSD itself.

You can copy photos or video directly from an SD Express card to the integrated SSD while traveling or working on location. That speeds up file handling, but it is not automatically a second backup, so keep another copy of irreplaceable footage.

Check the exact reader model before buying, because SanDisk sells an Extreme PRO UHS-II USB-C reader that is backward-compatible with other SD cards. The catalog description names SD Express but does not state whether every older SD format is supported.
