Caldigit Tuff Nano Review - Compact Portable SSD

Reviews with images
Works with iPad Pro 2020 unlike some USB-C drives.
This is a review of the Caldigit Tuff Nanowith a brand new 16" Macbook Pro with a thunderbolt 3 40Gbps 100 watt 17 inch OWC cable plugged directly into the T3 port on the MBP it tests at 700MB/s write and 904 MB/s read using the blackmagic design disk speed test. So beware any time you see a speed that says "up to". Still it's fast for the money, and small, and I'll probably buy another for field work. Small is good with the size of my kit, small and faster is a win win. Go out and buy it. Works right out of the box with Mac. Mac OS Extended (Journaled). The second photo is up against a SSD enclosure so you can see how small it is. You can buy the 2400MB/sec-2800MB/s 4x NVMe RAID 0 array drives out there but they will be much bigger. OK, I just switched the T3 cable to the one that came in the box with the drive and the speeds are a little faster, 776MB/s and 908MB/s. Interesting. Use the cable in the box, too many inferior T3 cables out there.Update: I can confirm this does work with the 2020 iPad Pro 11 inch. I tried the Sabrent NvME but the ipad would not recognize it, iPad does not support thunderbolt 3. So far the tough nano is the fastest small portable drive that works with the iPad. I don't even need a hub because I plug in an SD card reader, the SanDisk UHS-II and I can capture a 2 GB video file (300MB/s sandisk card) in 7 seconds. BTW, the SanDisk SD to USB-C card reader is the fastest out there in my tests So get it. I don't see any need for a Gnarbox box anymore. I capture from the SD card onto my iPad Pro because I have a 1 TB of storage. I can dump from the iPad back to the Caldigit tuff nano if I need to. But that process is slow, if you wanna dump 230 GB from the iPad to the Caldigit tuff nano it will take about three hours. Not sure why the process is so slow going out from the iPad. But I still have the originals on the cards and a copy on my iPad, that's good enough for me. I'm liking this tuff nano more and more especially as the prices drop.
