Data protection is often measured by password protection and encryption on a software level and, most of the time, understandably so. However, the enclosures of SSDs are rarely considered when discussing data protection; particularly for photographers in the field who are sometimes facing extreme conditions in harsh environments to capture that one stunning shot.
When taking photographical adventures this summer, you will need one of the most durable SSDs as a light, handheld device to help safely back up your content, any time, any place, anywhere.
The SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD
The SanDisk Professional PRO-G40TM SSD sets a new standard in physical data protection. Its turbocharged speeds of up to 3000MB/s read and 2500MB/s write via ThunderboltTM 3 and 1050MB/s read & 1000MB/s write via USB 3.2 Gen 2 are combined with an ultra-durable, ultra-rugged build through its IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
This rating is key in determining the PRO-G40’s capabilities. The first number denotes the device’s resistance to object intrusion. In the case of the PRO-G40, a rating of 6 indicates the device is completely resistant to all objects, including the finest molecules of dust, mud, glass and other disruptive materials.
As for the second number, this indicates the level of resistance to water, specifically. For the PRO-G40, this stands again at a score of 8, meaning the device is protected against complete, continuous submersion in water below depths of 1m.
Crush resistance of up to 1.8 tonnes is a key capability too. To put that into context, that means the PRO-G40 SSD can comfortably handle two adult male polar bears on top of it or – for IT aficionados – 5 MB of data in 1956.
The PRO-G40 SSD is built with a cooling aluminium core to sustain ultra-fast speeds under its heaviest workflows.
