Over Thunderbolt 3 it posts sequential reads of 2,700MB\/s and writes of 1,900MB\/s, and it still runs 1,050\/1,000MB\/s over USB 3.2 Gen 2 when Thunderbolt isn't around. The enclosure is IP68-sealed against dust and water, shrugs off 3-meter drops and 4,000 pounds of crush force, and ships formatted APFS for Mac-first workflows, reformatable for Windows. Five-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelevant searches: \"Thunderbolt SSD for video editing,\" \"fastest external SSD for Mac,\" \"PRO-G40 1TB,\" and \"rugged portable SSD IP68.\" The dual-mode design is the point: plug into a Thunderbolt 3\/4 port for the full spec-table performance (2,700MB\/s read, 1,900MB\/s write), or into any USB-C machine at 1,050\/1,000MB\/s — one drive serves the whole studio instead of living on one desk. Note SanDisk's marketing copy on the same page cites higher 'up to' figures; the numbers used here are from the maker's own specifications table for this model.\n\nIt ships formatted APFS for macOS-first workflows and can be reformatted for Windows. The IP68 sealing plus 3-meter drop and 4,000lb crush ratings make it the drive editors actually throw in the bag for location work, and the 5-year limited warranty matches that professional positioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1TB capacity, dual-mode Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.2 Gen 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequential read 2,700MB\/s and write 1,900MB\/s via Thunderbolt 3 (per maker spec table)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1,050MB\/s read and 1,000MB\/s write via USB 3.2 Gen 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP68 dust and water resistance, 3m drop and 4,000lb crush ratings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAPFS formatted (reformat for Windows); 5-year limited warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecs: 1TB | Thunderbolt 3 \/ USB-C | Read up to 2,700MB\/s, Write up to 1,900MB\/s (Thunderbolt) | Part # SDPS31H-001T-GBCND\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SanDisk Professional","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46746294386773,"sku":"SDPS31H-001T-GBCND","price":817.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/1586\/4661\/files\/pro-g40-ssd-left.png.wdthumb.319.319.webp?v=1794631091","url":"https:\/\/gearspawn.com\/products\/sandisk-professional-pro-g40-ssd-1tb-thunderbolt-3-usb-c-portable-ssd-apfs","provider":"GearSpawn LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
