I’m really disappointed by the speed of the pro blade reader. I was about to pick one of these up and use the SSD as my working drive, and then move projects to the HDD for more inactive projects, but I think I’ll have to keep looking for another solution.
Thanks for the useful info!
Next time, have them give you the RAID version of this device. I think it might be a really interesting backup device.
Yeah really needs to be RAID1 for an archive drive. No matter the quality of the drive, I wouldn’t have a single drive backup device of this capacity myself.
Can resist damages when you throw it to the floor accidentally and water? Wonderful video. And do i need to connect to electricuty to make it work while it's plugged to the pc or macbook?
Lon, nice review. Does it support a JBOD or RAID configuration?
I suppose you could set it up through the OS to do that but it's not designed for that kind of functionality.
It’s a nice enclosure. Too bad you can’t open it to use with a higher capacity drive down the road.
My 8TB appears to be drawing power from my Macbook M1 laptop. Both are connected to external power.
Very interesting device.
I want the 22TB version but I don't have 800+ USD to burn ^_^ Cant even afford the smallest capacity version avaialble the 6TB 380+ USD. Isn't it better if we opt for an SSD backup drive even if its just sata speed than mechanical hdd? I think it can cost as much but last longer.
SanDisk / WD have a LONG way to go to rebuild trust after the data loss issues they have had in recent years, and how they handled those events. Zero chance of me buying any of their products any time soon.
Looks nice. I still wouldn’t trust it.
More for me!
Lon, Thank you for posting.
One misconception that some people have is seeing Mac mentioned on the box and outright assuming it is some weird thing that is not compatible with a PC. While that is usually false I can see why they would think that since Apple is known for proprietary things that do not work with a PC. What these people don't get is that you just have to find the drive in Disk Management in Windows and delete the partitions and make new ones. There is a way in Linux also but I am not familiar with it. Unless there really is something weird in there I don't see any reason for it not to work. Now if it was something from Apple I would have to look into what is inside it to tell if it is compatible with a PC in any way or at least see if that is mentioned by Apple on the website.
A simple reformat is all you need to do.
Great unit. Kind of pricey though.
With a HDD a standard USB 3.0 port is all you'll need to transfer data to or from the hard drive. You're not going to get a speed boost from anything faster.
So Western Digital has officially changed their name to WD? Sort of like how CBS changed their name from the Columbia Broadcasting System to just CBS? In an unrelated topic what is the white stuff falling down on you at 6:12?
Hmm might have been something from the ceiling tiles.. I think my kids were running around up there :)
Curious first comments.
I thought this would natively sync with google G-drive. why not S Drive since its SanDisk?
So it's a primitive external drive without any network connection and network file share capability. Even the larger variants seem to be like that
This is very overpriced.
I find it way overpriced and certainly not something I'd choose to afford. Too much price; not enough performance, not enough expandability; just over-priced.
It'd be a far better spend of money to buy a NAS and start from scratch. Not impressed with the solution.
Pure garbage!
It probably doesn’t need any more speed writing or reading from the spinning drive.. That’s the common choke point.
Can this be used as a NAS drive? Storing photos, family videos, favorite movie streams, etc
It is not a NAS
