The SanDisk Extreme are one of the series of solutions for external and portable storage best-selling in the industry. WD, along with the launch of the Black SN7100 SSDs, has announced a major update to the series.
Storage products based on NAND flash memories have ended up transferring their great advantages over hard drives from the internal drives that we use in PCs to external ones connected to USB or Thunderbolt. In addition to the increase in performance, they add their mobility capabilities, connecting them to almost any PC and carrying them in a pocket in the case of the most portable units.
