Any filmmaker or pro photographer will tell you that backing up your stuff is vital, especially in the field and on the go. This is especially true for photographers specializing in harsh outdoor environment shots who many times find themselves in remote places where the elements and other hazards are a constant threat to their valuable electronic equipment. Fortunately, these folks have a new rugged option for keeping their data safe, even when they are working far off the grid.
The SanDisk Extreme SSDs are equipped with an onboard USB-C port, and ship with the appropriate cable, as well as a USB-C to USB-A adapter to ensure that they work equally well with legacy laptops as they do newer models.
Portability is always a concern when carrying extra equipment into the deep corners of the earth, but SanDisk went to great efforts to make these SSD drives as small and light as possible. The result is a backup drive that is smaller than a smartphone, yet still offers plenty of capacity at a reasonable price. The Extreme SSD is currently available in 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB terabyte, and 2 TB sizes. Those drives sell for $100, $150, $315, and $640 respectively.
