In the video you keep saying “most people” won’t be able to take advantage of the full speed but what you should have said was “Mac users” won’t be able to. PC Motherboards with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 have been available since 2019! That’s TWO YEARS on the market and it can now be considered a default feature for anyone building even a mid-range PC. Furthermore, PCIE cards that support the spec are available for under $50 so you can add 20Gbps USB ports to the majority of desktop PCs made in the past in the past FIFTEEN years. That’s right my friends, you can upgrade a decade old PC to have USB ports faster than the current Macs for under $50.
Anyway, just because you only have Apple hardware doesn’t mean that you should be making broad (and incorrect) generalizations like that. Either do your research and cover the benefits of using this drive with a Windows and Linux environment OR simply include in the title that your “review” is aimed solely at Apple users. Think of the thousands upon thousands of Windows users that might watch this video and then miss out on literally double the performance by taking your advice and opting for the slower version of this drive. This video did them such a huge disservice. You actually made their lives worse with your video by costing them time and money.
Think how much more helpful it would have been to say something like, “Windows desktop users are in luck! Even if your motherboard was made before 2020 and doesn’t support the spec, a simple $50 upgrade can literally double your PC’s USB performance and allow you to take full advantage of this drive’s capabilities.”
Yeesh, I had heard good things about your channel too. What a disappointment.
@@blueridge8992 didn't I point out that Windows users could enjoy these speeds with a suitable card or motherboard? I even gave examples of expansion cards. Yeesh, I'd expected more some someone who posted such a long complaint.
Hi which is better and why:
WD 500GB My Passport Portable SSD with NVMe Technology, USB-C, Read Speeds of up to 1050MB/s and Write Speeds of up to 1000MB/s. Works with PC, Xbox, PlayStation - Midnight Blue
SanDisk Portable SSD 480GB, up to 520MB/s read speed please choose NEW VERSION 480gb as the title alone will only show the old version ok?
Thanks
@@Anonymous-wk9zg I don't know, I've not tested the WD.
That’s ok. I’ve got some other answers elsewhere plus I already know which is better but I wanted someone with perhaps more experience with this kinda of tech to let me know what they thought.
Best review I’ve seen so far for SSD! Thank you, the only vid I need for this purchase decision. Cheers mate
If you have a Mac I'd suggest looking at the Samsung X5 SSD Thunderbolt 3 1TB. I just purchased it and my read speed 2446mbs and write 1754mbs. Faster than this and works on older Mac without USB 3.2
Memory is in a golden age. GPUs are in dark times....
Both of the models sound perfect for video editing on a laptop or iPad. If you are willing to stick stuff to your laptop, a lot of people Velcro them onto the back of the screen so that it is not dangling from the ports, which becomes less viable the bigger the drive!
These are light enough for the dangle not to be a concern.
I have a few v1 (1tb and 500gb variants), and have loved them. Work well, fast, and durable.
Would you see a need to upgrade to a v2?
@@darrenhaken No, if you already have V1, I wouldn't waste money upgrading, unless you transfer files a lot and want the extra speed. They're both plenty fast, and if you do want v2 for the extra speed, make sure the cable and computer port you're using can match or exceed the speed of v2, otherwise you'll bottle neck and waste all that extra money for nothing.
I used sandisk for my video games and it works perfect. I never knew that I could play my games using external hard drive with no issues
Congratulations, one of the best reviews in general on UA-cam, great content, really at the moment the E61 at the moment meets the majority since we have little technology of 20GB yet, I'm going to get one.
Thanks, check out my DIY ssd video too!
You deserve more than a million subs for these great reviews!
Appreciate your outstanding work as always
Thank-you! I'm doing a DIY ssd video soon
@@cameralabs can’t wait to see 😍
Great review! Thanks for breaking it down so nicely especially against the last gen. Liked and subbed! 💥🤘🏻
It's a nice drive; I did get a better cable.
what would you recommend?
@@AutBelli For some reason, I'm thinking it has to be a Lightening USB cable to take advantage of 2000 MB/s R/W speeds, USB C 3.2 Gen 2x2 should achieve this goal, although, I have seen the spec for a USB 4.0 and it sports a 40 Gbits/s speed, that is also associated with SuperSpeed + as-well-as Thunderbolt 3 and 4. But basically, you are limited by the host device, and if it doesn't support the USB C 3.2 Gen 2x2 you might not be taking full advantage of this devices capabilities.
Thanks Gordon. I just bought the 500GB Extreme Pro, very happy with it. Faster than all my current ports on all devices, but we live in hope eh!
Another exceptional review! And you read and reply to comments more than most, impressive...
And I'm replying to this one too! I always try to!
Thank you for the thorough review. Subscribed.
Thanks!
Wow almost end my extreme back for the extreme pro, until I learned I'm operating with a USB 3.1. Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for the review, Gordon!👍
You're welcome!
Perfect timing, I just started looking for a new hard drive to back up and start fresh with for the new year and this video brings up good points to check before buying. My iMac probably doesn’t support the latest and fastest speeds so and I don’t plan on upgrading it anytime soon so why pay for the speed of the hard drive if I can’t use it.
Really appreciate the info...thanks!
You're welcome!
Thanks for reminding to check the specs of my computers closely. I usually buy the fastest based on device specs and forget to verify compatibility. Great review!
You're welcome!
Awesome review, just got the 500gb V2 and about to test it out!
Fab video and great overview! I have the other extreme pro that I use to edit videos from on my macboook pro and it's just as fast as my internal SSD. This one looks too fast for my current laptop but great to buy as it's futureproof I guess!
Seriously UA-cam, 4 ads already just 6 minutes in?!
Awesome video as usual, Gordon, which might explain why the platform thinks there’s money to make off of it.
Thanks and sorry for all the ads. I'm thinking of taking on sponsorship so I can turn off the UA-cam mid-rolls.
@@cameralabs Please do because I'm sick and tired of all the youtube ads popping up at the wrong time. UA-cam used to have an ads-free subscription but now they want you to pay for UA-cam TV in order to get rid of ads. If the ads had something to do with your "product" that's one thing but they usually are simply random or targeted ads by youtube.
@@robeigner4390 my next video on Monday is my first with sponsorship, and that allows me to turn off mid-roll ads for that video.
@@cameralabs Great! Now I'll think about subscribing.
@@robeigner4390 get an adblock extension like ublock origin.... And I'm saying this as a monetized creator lol
A few things worth mentioning after listening to your conclusion, Gordon... a mild rant on ports, if you will. First, I think this drive is a prime example of why I dislike USB as a port standard. Nobody without the USB Promoter Group's decoder ring and their computer's manual will know what USB-C port they have, and few consumers upgrade their laptops or desktops frequently enough to make buying a "future-proof" USB 3.2 2x2 drive worthwhile. (The proposed USB 4 spec lists 3.2 2x2 support as "optional," so there's a good chance that this drive may never work at its rated speeds beyond the very narrow band of 3.2 2x2 devices currently available.) Secondly, Thunderbolt 3 is technically less messy, but the requisite integrated circuitry required on both ends makes it expensive to license and build (thanks, Intel), which is why it's rarely seen outside of Apple and really high-spec Windows PC offerings. Again, USB 4's proposed spec is built off of the Thunderbolt 3 spec, but there's no guarantee of support for devices with Thunderbolt 3 host controllers in the current proposal. Manufacturers of IC's and computers have to knowingly choose and build devices that do so, and, again, most consumers probably won't know the difference until they buy a drive like this and find that it doesn't operate as expected.
I know, i's a real pain. I suspect very few people will ever see this drive running beyond 1000MB/s.
I got the 1050/1000 MB/s model on order. Didn't realise there was a size difference though. But I think it's the right choice; it's still under 50 grams and it will achieve max speed with any laptop.
I did deliberate a bit between getting this and the Samsung T7. The T7 is a bit smaller, but I like the more rugged design of this one. And I think it's lighter too.
Edit: I didn't realise there's a difference between the Extreme Pro v1 and the Extreme v2, despite them both being 1000-ish MB/s. I got the Extreme v2, which indeed is under 50 grams. The Pro is almost 80 grams. I wonder if there's a performance difference though.
Yes, there's a difference. The V2 has read & write speeds of 2000MB/s, twice those of the V1.
@@Ron_Boy For his workflow (posting comments on UA-cam), it won’t matter.
Great job. You just saved me money!
Thank you
Great video. Thanks
You rock Gordon! :-)
Thanks!
I have only one gripe with this SSD: no status light to tell the user when the SSD is being used! This is very handy when using it with say an iPad, as there is no option to eject the SSD from the iPad OS. Basically, there is no way to verify whether this SSD is in use or in idle mode.
Hi Gordon. Greg Video, it took me proximately 10 to 15 videos to go through till I find yours because nobody has mentioning V2 version. When I read The main title it shows SanDisk extreme pro SSD review-V2. I would like to suggest to rename it for SanDisk Extreme Pro V2, so maybe we can find your video first. Thank you for a great review.
Thanks, you should also check out my latest 'build your own' drive video as it compares the SanDIsk to a DIY project.
I prefer T7 Touch with a fingerprint scanner. For me it is essential to protect my information on the drive from getting into the wrong hands. And in addition to the fact that the fingerprint is much easier than manually entering a password, the fingerprint also allows you not to install a proprietary application on other computers to access the information on the protected drive. And in this respect, the T7 Touch is still unique in its own way, so no brainer for me. In addition, SanDisk has no indicator of the status of the drive, and, from the video, it seems that its material is very attracted to dust. The eyelet looks cool, but let's be honest, not many people carry external drives on a carabiner, etc.
Doesn't perform as well as the extreme pro..buy enjoy your fingerprint gimmick
@@Ricanlegend215 It performs even better, don't talk nonsense. And the fingerprint is not a gimmick, but a very handy thing (if you can't read or understand what I wrote earlier, that's your problem). I've already experienced it myself. At the moment, the T7 is the best external SSD for many people. Very happy with it.
@@Oleg__ nonsense is saying it performs better...especially when nobody has ever said it lol but ok
Very very helpful! Thank you very much.
Thank U for this in-depth review !!
You're welcome!
I am recently bought a 5TB (4.56) HDD as another layer of backup for 100€, raggedness and fastness of the latest SSDs is tempting, but five times less usable storage space at a significantly higher price it´s no go for me, yet.
Informative well presented video! Thank you, Gordon for wicked content! :)
You're welcome!
Please compare this with samsung t7 ssd.
Good review. Thanks 👍
I was about to make the purchase for the 2TB and saw you mention the USB limitation of the new M1 Macbook Air (I just bought it.) DARN! I guess I'll get the V1 instead. Thanks for the review! (Enjoy your coffee!)
You're very welcome James! I've not actually tested the new M1 macs yet BUT since their USB ports are only rated at the same 10Bit/s as mine, then I wouldn't expect you to enjoy more than abut 1000MB/s performance from anything connected to them. Thanks for the coffee!
@@cameralabs I'm thinking the same as you. I hope the new M1 Pros released next year will have the fast USBs. Do you think that you might test an M1 soon? Great videos by the way. You go into depth about the products that are very helpful and intriguing.
@@jgates thanks! Unless they have a new chipset I don't expect the 2021 MBPs to support 20Gbit/s, but surely a new Mac Pro would? If there's a slot - or a TB3 adapter - then it's also possible I guess. My next laptop will be an M1, but waiting for the 16inchers...
Get the Extreme V2 (non-pro). It’s less expensive and the speeds will be basically the same.
@@cameralabs If the USB4 in the M1 Macs does not support 3.2x2 then that a new level of crazy for the USB standard and that’s a high bar! I have an M1 Mini but the drives are a bit pricey to take a chance with. The Sabrent XTRM-Q drives have TB3 & USB3.2 support which makes far more sense today.
Thanks so much for this review. I actually have been doing the same thing as you with portable SSD's. Using two Samsung T5's attached to my desktop PC via USB C and one attached via a USB 3 adapter. The one on the adapter gives me about 384mbs read, and 407mbs write, random read only 256mbs. The USB C ones give me 528mbs read, 446mbs write, and 280mbs random read. It's quite good, though not as quick as my internal SSD's which do around 3033.5mbs read, 2105mbs write, and 882mbs random read.
I am hoping to buy a new ipad pro in early 2021 and I am thinking the upgrade to a T7 or Sandisk will accompany it.
Very well done! ^^
Thanks!
ahhh disappointing news about the m1 macs
Clicked to see if Gordon replied. Found Joseph Solomon's youtube page instead. Let it play for a second and was amazed that I stumbled upon such a talented artist from the comments on a photographer's ssd review. Love your stuff, Joseph. Subscribed.
yo man also just checed your vibe cos of Thomas and boom ! you good man real good !
I experienced similar speeds with the 2TB pro v2 on my mid 2018 macbook pro. I was able to get the PRO SSD 2000MB/s v2 for a better price than the 1050MB/s version. The max speed I have seen was 975MB/s. I figure the new SSD with be future prof if needed. Currently my MacBook Pro hard drive runs at about 2800MB/s with 1.3TB on a 2TB SSD. Thanks for posting the vid.
M1 macs do not suport 2x2. Nothing does. And thunderbolt nvme is broken, since queue command is broken in firmware. Fuxx Apple.
Your the only reviewer I can listen to..
Thanks! Good job as my reviews are long!
Thanks man!
Thanks - Very useful and clearly presented review.. I currently entrust my back up to Lacie rugged 1GB.... Each backed up to two separate drives... ( But I know, that my current system is plotting to corrupt on me at some stage >.< )
Thanks, you're very welcome!
I have an older version of this and run my Lightroom drive and photoshop scratch drive. Really speeds thing up as my internal sad is only 250gb. Well worth the money. Might look at the new one to move the photos off my magnetic drives.
I'm a little concerned that you never mentioned the drive's TBW ratings. If you use the SSD for backup, it's something that should be known. I'm even more concerned that it's not mentioned by the manufacturer anywhere at all.
good review Gordon. very helpful 👍
You're welcome!
@@cameralabs additional question though, related topic, if i were to convert an internal ssd to external with encolsure, do you think it will be faster than the traditional portableHDD?
Thank You!
Good work, thank you!
you're welcome! Do also check out my DIY SSD video!
If the SSD on your desktop or laptop isn't an NVMe SSD, your upload/download speed will max out at around 150mb per sec (depending on the drive you are using). You'll only be as fast as the slowest SSD - its not just about the USB-C port you have. NVMe drives that support 2000mb/s read/right are very expensive.
its currently available in 4tb model as well
I hang this from a nail behind my TV and watch movies from it.
The latest Macs have USB4, with read/write speeds up to 40 GB/sec - so you can take full advantage of that transfer speed.
No they can't because they do NOT support the USB 2x2 protocol which is what allows the SanDisk to work at up to 20. I demonstrate this in a newer video: ua-cam.com/video/9oT74rI7eXE/v-deo.html
Gordon, great review....when I start traveling again this will clearly be one of the things that I buy first...Couple of questions...1. Can I backup photos taken on an IPHONE with this drive? 2.If I don't travel with a laptop can I download photos directly from by FUJI XT4 to the SSD directly....
Hi Ken, no you can't yet connect a USB drive to a camera for storage unless it's a compatible cinema camera. I wish they'd sort this, but the camera would need the intelligence to become a USB host, like a computer essentially. As for the iphone, I don't know, but it does work on the iPad, although obviously it needs o have USB C.
Great review! The speed is deceptive. USB C 3.2 Gen 2x2 came out in late 2019, after Thunderbolt 3. I've only seen Gen 2x2 support in desktop computers.
We now have USB 4
Good to see that it’s lint-proof.
SANDISK!? I've been calling it SCANdisk for years. How have I never noticed?
Thanks alot for this video I just order the 1050mbps one I was not sure which to get
it'll be fine for normal USB ports.
1:20 wow! someone else who types properly with left hand but only uses right index finger, I thought I was the only one!
It's weird, I've never thought about it, but you're right, I only ever use my right index! Why is that?!!
I have it and it runs fast on my Mac and PC. I do wish Sandisk had an affordable TB3 option. Currently, running it with a MBP M1.
The new MBP? Would you mind running BlackMagic Disk Speedtest for me, using a 5GB test size?
@@cameralabs sure
@@cameralabs Write 794.9 MB/s. Read 836.5 MB/s. I do want to run again when Big Sur 11.1 is released.
@@rodneyturnerphoto thanks, and that's the the SanDisk Pro v2 model?
@@cameralabs yes
14:00 - It only connects to PC and mac... How come yours is connected to smartphone and mines is not?
Near the start of the video I say it works on some phones, tablets, consoles etc.
A bit confused, I thought the new M1 macs having USB4 with 40gbit/s support meant they could cover the 2000MB/s speed of a USB3.2 Gen2x2..
Sadly not. USB4 can but doesn't have to support 20Gbit/s USB, which is where the confusion will start! Thunderbolt 3 still supports 40Gbit/s, but is more expensive to implement.
@@cameralabs a bit interesting it seems I think Apple put some pressure on Intel to "open" Thunderbolt3 for it to be implemented as the USB4 open industry standard. I guess the electronics to do the USB4/TB3 are a bit different to what makes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, just a bit confusing why a USB4 port wouldn't support what they call USB 3.2.. I have seen a youtuber show he can render faster to the 2000MB/s on an M1 than using the internal SSD, I want to see though what speed one can get with it..
@@charbax in terms of rendering, it should be faster to an external drive because the internal drive is also reading assets, performing calculations, running apps, OS etc, so if you can offload any of those to fast external drives, then yes, a render can take place more efficiently.
You should test the crucial x8 1000 GB/S best value for money and speeds that won't be bottlenecked by current ports
Man, the info you talk about here makes me feel a lot better about buying a 1000 mbps
Check out my later video about building the fastest portable SSD
I’ve been considering an iPad plus external storage for photos and editing while traveling but haven’t seen a workflow that makes sense to me. Without having massive storage in the iPad, do you simply transfer files that fit to your iPad and then move them to external storage? I don’t want to carry a laptop as well.
Great video as usual.
I might be putting my foot in my mouth, but if I am not mistaking the gist of your dilemma: I just watched a comparison video earlier between Sandisk V1 and Samsung T5 and T7. The uploader of the video specifically discussed his user scenario which I believe relates to you.
He specifically said he uses external ssds because they are fast enough I/O to be able to edit his video files WITHOUT having to transfer them off of the external. So, in your case, you’d load up whatever massive project you are working on onto your external ssd and manipulate the files, directly on your external, with whatever app you are using on your iPad.
Hope that made sense.
@@Stalinfalcon yes that is the dilemma-but how do I reliably transfer to the SSD without first copying to the iPad(which seems ridiculous)? Unless I use a gnarbox I don’t seem to have much choice. Ami I missing something?whose video were you watching?
@@wolfeb99 I was using that video more as an example of someone editing files directly on the external. I don't know what ecosystem he was in [Windows, Apple, Android]
I have very little experience with what Apple will allow you to do. I just bought an iPhone 12 and am already realising the headache of moving outside files onto it. I don't know if that is part of your problem or not with the iPad?
I also don't do any legit photography, but it seems that it's not exactly possible to directly load files from the camera to the sdd.
Hmm.
In my case, using modern cellphones as my video capture, I'd just off-load the files from the phone directly to the ssd and then plug that into my tablet and do the editing.
Wow. Yeah, I see your point about your workflow, if in fact you are trying to edit camera footage whilst travelling and are trying to avoid the whole computer-in-the-middle issue.
Sorry, I suppose I wasn't any help after all. 🤷♂️
I just wish external drive makers would make drives that can be labeled easily (that is hand written or typed labels).
Wow, I literally came to that same conclusion at the end of this video.
I’d do large SD cards for individual client backups just for redundancy and size.
Thanks!
Thankyou very much! Be sure to also check out my more recent DIY SSD video.
On the WD website both v1 and v2 2TB models almost cost the same, with the v2 $10 USD less.
So to clarify. On the new m1, it would be better to buy an external ssd that connects via thunderbolt (if that is a thing) rather than buying the new Sandisk V2?
In terms of speed alone, a Thunderbolt drive has the potential to be quicker than one that uses USB C on all current and previous Macs. BUT that's assuming the drive itself is able to deliver speeds faster than the USB port spec used by Apple. This SanDisk v2 drive for example is quicker than Apple's USB ports, so it could have gone faster had it used a Thunderbolt connection.
@@cameralabs Thank you for the response. Another question you may know. Could their potentially be a usb4 or thunderbolt hub in the future that has a faster usb port on it? Would something like that work to unleash the full speed (not full, but more than just the normal ports on the m1) of the v2 drive or would that not work either.
Great Review. I have ordered a 4TB V1 and a 2TB V2 for use in musical and photo/video applications. Thank you for the Thoroughness of your review especially the transfer speeds. I have 2 macbook pros and it is good to know that they can only use the V2 at half speed which is same as V1 can save some money buying the V1.. do you think they run cooler using only half speed? one day they will be thunderbolt3 which will really be fast. Cheers.
The newer model certainly ran hotter for me.
@@cameralabs well I got the V1 4TB today and started transferring my instrument library. It’s a total of about 2.2TB then the auxiliary and drivers after that. But for some reason my MacBook Pro shut down about hour or so into it. Then it wouldn’t recognize the drive when I rebooted. Used disk utility program and finally got it to show up. And reformatted it to macOS instead of Exfat. Started transfering again this time did smaller chunks of files instead of all at once. And i noticed it got so hot I couldn’t really touch it so I think it overheated first time and shut down. So I only did about 40% of the files and will do rest tomorrow in smaller chunks. Once I get up and running with it I think it will be fine but 2.2Tb of data all at once is a lot. I also got a 2Tb v2(pro) coming tomorrow. Perhaps I will use that for the actual recordings I make.
I benchmarked the one I got today at about 840 MB/s read and write which is faster than the GTech ones I have been using the GTech ones seem to be better built. They don’t have anything larger than a 2TB yet unless you spend $3,500 for a thunderbolt 3. I’m sure those will be affordable at some point.
Amazon has the 2TB v2 for $299 today only for their Epic Daily Deal today.
hi gordon! I am a longtime fans from Indonesia. I got into digital photography since 2009, thanks to you and your wonderful website. Thank you!
Gordon, how does the workflow work here? Like I transfer the SD card from camera to PC and then transfer it again to the SSD? or there's a faster way?
or this is geared to those who like to edit on the go? since iPhone/iPad can read the disk too?
thanks again, long live camera labs!
EDIT: I wrote the comment above on 2:00 part of the video. All my questions was answered by the end of the video.. sucks, wanted to have you comment, but I failed. hahahaha

@@torakun3573 You're very welcome, hope you have a good one!
Great video .
Thanks!
so fast it breaks easy
It's available in capacities up to 4TB.
This was filmed over a year ago
Sounds like I should get the 1000mb per second version for my new macbook pro?
Is this good to run steam games
Maybe the 950MB/s ISNT restricted by your USB ports but because SanDisc sells the OLDER version as the newer - hping that users without USB3.2 ports dont notice!
I just received a v2 ssd but its in fact the older v1 just packed into a v2 packaging!
I fear I'm in the same situation I have a surface pro 8 with thunderbolt 4 and still only getting 1 GB/sec
I don't know if there is a portable SSD with robust locking system and GPS incorporated, I would buy it immediately. Does anybody know if there is something like it?
Gordon - Thanks for producing the review. Any thoughts on the Sandisk Extreme 1 TB 550 MB/s drive and how it will work with an iMac Pro?
It should work as well as it does on my MacBook - the scores should be similar or the same as the 250GB v1 I compared the Pro drive to in this video.
Extreme pro v2 3.2 gen 2 also is available in 500 GB
You might want to keep your kitty from playing with it an leaving hair or fur on the drive.
Freaking love my 2TB for video editing
Just a simple wipe with a dust cloth will keep that dust and hair off the product for them close up shots
You say that, but that surface acts like a magnet and the lighting where I film really shows it up. Not ideal, so i apologise for that.
@@cameralabs yeah I get that, that rubberized surface is a pain. Another trick is use tape to help pull some of stuff off.
@@CNCChazz that's a good idea!
Hi Gordon, thanks for this review. Have you tried or tested the 4TB version. Best wishes, Flemming
No, but I have just made a video about achieving faster speeds, see: ua-cam.com/video/9oT74rI7eXE/v-deo.html
I have basically the same disk, but made by WD, the WD_BLACK one with USB 3.2 gen 2x2. (WD owns Sandisk now.) Its pretty much only good for 1Gbps as pretty much nothing supports USB 3.2 gen2x2...... Even the newer USB 4 (Apple M1 Mac) standard seems to have ignored it, its the same as Thunderbolt 3 and can only support 1 Gbps with this type of SSD.... So unless you have a Windoew Laptop that has this port or high end Intel motherboards, nothing else seems to support it. Even the newest AMD X570 motherboards don't support this port (but you can get TB3 expansion cards.)
TLDR: USB 3.2 gen 2x2 is pretty dead and has little support with no future aspects.
Hi which is better and why:
WD 500GB My Passport Portable SSD with NVMe Technology, USB-C, Read Speeds of up to 1050MB/s and Write Speeds of up to 1000MB/s. Works with PC, Xbox, PlayStation - Midnight Blue
SanDisk Portable SSD 480GB, up to 520MB/s read speed please choose NEW VERSION 480gb as the title alone will only show the old version ok?

I went decaf for a year and it made no difference. Coffee isn't the issue here, but thanks for making me super-aware of it!
@@cameralabs ok😅😍🤗👑🕊️ It's obvious... Thanks for answering ☺️🙏 Be bless!🙏🌹👑☺️
This is not compatible with the new Max M1 Studio. Port specifications don't match up.
I'm sure it will work, but only at 10gbps.
It took me 100 years to figure out that 5gbps is not 5 gigabytes per second, but gigabits per second 🤪 i was so confused watching the reviews because I thought my usb 3.2 gen 1 port can support 5 gigabytes per second, when it is actually only 5gigabits which is equivalent to 625mbps only 😭😂
Hope this comment helps someone in the same situation 😂😂😂
BTW, I got samsung t7. I know it's still too fast, but maybe I will get a new laptop in the future. Also, i might use it on my ipad pro as well 😅
I looked on Amazon for it and found it but the reviews and a lot of people were saying that after a couple of months it died on them where they lost all their data on it that basically it crashed. And I was wondering if you had that problem before? Because I'm interested in buying it but since you've done a review on it I want to know what your thoughts are after you've had it for quite a few months of what it's done. I'd be more than welcome if you got back with me about it so that I will know if you had problems with it yourself but if not and you know what the quality and the issue is that people been having that you can fix it I'd be more appreciative. I always go to UA-cam to look up reviews on products that I buy is because I want to know straightforward of the product from people that have used it before I have before buying it. And watching your video made me want to buy it so I bought it at Walmart. But just let me know what the issues are if you've had any issues and be more than grateful thank you very much for your video
I only had the v2 for a couple of weeks on loan for testing before it was returned, but Ive had that 512GB v1 for a couple of years now with no issues.
Is this max speed with the MacBook M1 Pro?
Yep, for anything faster on a mac you'll need thunderbolt. See my DIY ssd video
Doesnt Lumafusion copy the files in a project onto the iPads internal disk, which would explain how you saw no difference in working with the newer much faster drive compared to the old one in this scenario.
Yes you're right, I meant you could work directly off an external drive if you were using a laptop.
@@cameralabs I wished iPadOS would receive an update that would make it easier for LumaFusion to work directly of the external. But this workflow works still quite well for me now.

Nothing can beat a DIY SSD enclosure setup. The only catch is that it's expensive when you go higher in speed.
Yes, I've been thinking of building one for a future video...
i cant understand why Portable 1TB SSd Drive size are 100mm x 75mm x 10mm but Same 1TB Pendrive size is only 25mm x 10mm x 5mm
Why SSD drives have more Chips to maintain 1Tb but the Pendrive can Cary Same 1Tb on some Millimeters
different type of memory inside, so the capacity may be similar, but the interface, controller and speed are not.
I have the same driver, but I cannot see any laptop support that 2x2 USB then I thought it will work with full speed with TB, but NO still read and write 10Gbs.
It's NOT a thunderbolt drive, so it will only go at USB speeds. If your USB port is standard, then you will be limited to 10gbit/s, and real life data rates of about 1000 Megabytes /s. Only USB 2x2 ports will support 20gbit/s, and I've never seen one
I just got a V2 2000 MB/S model and tested it on my M1 Max MBP with USB 4/ TB4 ports. I am only getting around 950 MB/S
Yes because the latest Macs still don't support the USB 2x2 protocol that these drives require to support the faster speed. I go into more detail about this in my DIY SSD drive review video - check it out.
M1-chip MBP only supports USB 3.1 gen2 and USB 4......The fastest USB C drives are 3.2 gen 2x2 which All Apple products does not support!!!! So it throttles back speeds to USB3.1 to around max 500mb/s speeds...... You can get an increase of up to around 1000mb/s on and Extl SSD by getting the Sandisk Extreme PRO v2 (USB 3.2 2x2 gen version - must be the latest v2 PRO model - quotes 2000mb/s speeds on the specs) and then buying an Apple genuine branded thunderbolt 3 C-C cable 0.8m long £39 in the uk... must be this cable - It talks to m1 devices correctly and accepts the doubling of speeds (unless you'll only get around 500mb/s W/R speeds). Works on old 2012 iMac and latest M1 Macs - both I get fractionally under 1000mb/s - Hope this helps someone out there. The latest thunderbolt 3 Extl housings and an nvme 980 evo Samsung (build yourself) can get up to 2700mb/s R/W speeds - but this will cost double the outlay unfortunately (around £400 uk). Versus £180 Pro SSD + Apple cable option. Hoping to see a Thunderbolt 3 SSD on a Sandisk to get the 2700mb/s speed boosts, but not available yet! Maybe in late 2023?
I skipped through the review but did Gordon mention what a battery hog the Extreme Pro is vs the Samsung T7? Thus is really important if you are using it with a phone or tablet.
I didn't notice that, but I've not tested the Samsung, so have nothing other than the older generations to compare it against. It certainly runs hot. What are you using to test this aspect of the drives?
@@cameralabs thanks for your reply. The T7 uses about 4 times less power at idle and also uses less at peak. The figures come Anandtech which is pretty authoritative. www.anandtech.com/show/14661/usb32-g2-portable-ssds-roundup/6
@@dant.6364 yes, i like Anandtech's work - I was a fan from the late Nineties when I was working on a computer magazine and we all thought his work was the future!
Is this one a good one for bootcamping Windows on it for a MBP 13" 4 tb 3 ports 2019?
This would mean we will get full speed of 20Gbps on M1 Pro Macs which have USB 4?
Sadly not as they don't support the 2x2 part. See my DIY ssd video
If you use a cable from usb-c to thunderbolt 4 (new MacBook Pro 2021), you can't use the 2000mb speed??
Nope sadly not. Apple doesn't support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 on any products to date including the 2021 14 and 16in MBPs. So you won't get faster speeds than i showed here. Check out my latest video about building the fastest portable SSD.
