The new SanDisk Extreme 1TB (SDSSDE70-1T00) reads at 2,000 MB/s via USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, nearly doubling the 1,050 MB/s of the older SanDisk Extreme generation. Reaching 2,000 MB/s requires a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps) host port; on a standard Gen 2 (10 Gbps) port, both models deliver around 1,000 MB/s. At $269.99, it costs $40 more than the Samsung T9 1TB ($229.99), which also reaches 2,000 MB/s. The older SanDisk Extreme 1TB remains listed at a lower price and is still the correct choice for buyers using 10 Gbps ports where the speed upgrade does not register. Both models carry IP65 water and dust resistance and 3-meter drop protection. For buyers who need the current-generation SanDisk hardware at 2,000 MB/s with IP65 durability, this is the right pick. The Samsung T9 wins on price at the same speed; the older model wins on budget.
