SanDisk's 'impressive' Desk Drive 8TB SSD just got a limited-time discount at Amazon — and we found it ideal for great solution for homes, small offices, and studios
This speedy high-capacity drive proved perfect for professionals, photographers, videographers, and digital artists in our tests.
SanDisk's Desk Drive 8TB SSD has recently been offered at a discounted price on Amazon, making it an attractive option for those seeking increased storage capacity. The high-capacity SSD is particularly suited for homes, small offices, and studios, allowing for quick and reliable access to large media files.
During testing, the 8TB capacity proved beneficial when copying 1TB of images, including a mix of 1200 RAW and JPG files, to the drive for use in Photoshop. The transfer took just under two minutes, demonstrating the drive's speed and efficiency. Additionally, when used to feed 4K video files into Final Cut Pro, the desk drive provided a smooth editing experience with no dropped frames.
Despite its compact size, the Desk Drive 8TB is not as slim as the SanDisk Extreme range, which might make it slightly bulkier in a laptop bag. However, its compact design allows it to sit comfortably on a desk or be carried along.
In our review, the SSD scored 4 stars, highlighting its combination of speed and capacity. It outperformed traditional HDDs in our tests, offering faster access to large media files. While there are some minor drawbacks, such as the lack of bundled software and an extra USB-C port, the Desk Drive 8TB SSD remains a reliable and efficient solution for those in need of high-capacity storage.
