8TB of silent SSD storage for your desk, built to replace slow backup hard drives.

The SanDisk Desk Drive 8TB is a desktop external SSD with a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connection and speeds up to 1,000MB/s. With 8TB of capacity in a compact, silent enclosure, it is designed for home offices, creators and families who want fast, high-capacity backups and media libraries without a noisy desktop hard drive.

Why Replace a Desktop Backup Hard Drive With an SSD

Desktop hard drives offer capacity, but they are slow, noisy and vulnerable to mechanical failure. Large backups and media libraries take hours to copy and restore.

The Desk Drive puts 8TB of solid-state storage on your desk. Backups and restores run up to several times faster, the drive is silent, and there are no moving parts to wear out.

Fast Backups and Restores

With up to 1,000MB/s reads, restoring files and browsing large photo or video libraries is quick, and scheduled backups finish sooner.

Silent, Compact Desktop Storage

The compact enclosure sits neatly on a desk, runs quietly and keeps 8TB of data available for every computer in a home office.
