Let's talk speed. With transfer speeds of up to 2000MB/s, editing directly off this drive feels like a seamless extension of my MacBook Pro's capabilities. Whether I'm working on high-resolution footage or handling multiple layers in Premiere Pro, the SanDisk SSD keeps up without skipping a beat.
The form factor of this SSD is another standout feature. Compact, sleek, and built to last, it's the epitome of portability without sacrificing performance. I can slip it into my bag and take it with me wherever inspiration strikes, knowing that my projects are securely stored and easily accessible.
But what truly sets this SSD apart is its ruggedness. With IP65 water and dust resistance, I can confidently edit outdoors or in less-than-ideal conditions without worrying about damage to my files. It's a level of peace of mind that's invaluable for someone who relies on their equipment day in and day out.
One aspect that I particularly appreciate is the updated firmware, which ensures compatibility and stability with my M1 Pro MacBook Pro. It's clear that SanDisk is committed to delivering a product that not only meets but exceeds the demands of modern creatives.
In conclusion, the SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD is more than just a storage device; it's a powerful ally for any video editor looking to elevate their craft. With its blazing speed, compact design, and rugged durability, it's become an indispensable tool in my arsenal. Whether you're a professional or a passionate hobbyist, this SSD is a worthy investment that will undoubtedly streamline your workflow and unlock new levels of creativity.
I have a WIndows PC. After doing the stuff I mentioned above, when I do a large file transfer to the drive, it starts out at 1.7GB/s and then begins to drop to a steady 915MB/s or so. This reflects close to the drive's specs at the start, but Windows file buffering doesn't cache enough of the file to get a continual accurate reading, hence the speed drop in write speed. In testing out the read speed, I was only able to get around 700MB/s, but that is because I am copying a file from a super fast HD (this Sandisk drive) to a much slower HD (my internal PC HD), so it can't transfer any faster than this. I also tested reading and writing just from this Sandisk drive and got around the same 700MB/s, however, this is not a fair nor accurate test, because the same drive is doing the reading AND the writing. Finally, I ran the Blackmagic Disk Speed Test that everyone else seems to be using to test drive speeds, and got only 915MB/s read and write speeds. We know this is not accurate since I got 1.73GB/s in my own testing.
So all of this to say that I believe this drive is probably fully capable of its advertised speeds, but you will likely not see speeds that fast due to OS limitations, other drive limitations, hardware limitations (your cable and/or port), etc. I'm happy with it because it averages about 1sec/GB throughput, and for files that Windows can buffer completely, I'm getting much closer to the spec's speeds. Hopefully all of this info. is helpful. Just remember, you get the best possible speed out of this drive by connecting it to a true Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer and by setting your OS's caching/buffering settings to maximize the performance (even a USB-C 3.1 or better port will get you the best speed out of this drive).
That scare aside, so far the drive has been working out fine. I'm using it as a backup for my 2tb home PC.
I have it connected via a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20Gbps Type-C port on my PC to run weekly backups. The drive is not super fast, but it's fine for what I need. It's super light and portable - the size of my Android phone, so ideal if you need an external drive for your laptop or whatever. And it's 4tb so should be enough for whatever you need to do.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the Firmware fix does the job!
