@@sjsmith Hey Stephen! Great question. Unfortunately, I don't know if this is possible or not. If anyone from the channel fam knows more, please share with our friend Stephen 👍 Let us know if you find a solution 😊
You started your channel May 2021. It’s now October 2021 and you have 378 subscribers. Your content is top notch, ESPECIALLY for a new channel. Good work sir! I’m now subscribed and look forward to seeing your channel grow. Thank you for the review!
That's a good question. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure. Are you formatting for Windows or MacOS? If Windows, this website shows how many characters you can use when formatting in NTFS and FAT: www.lifewire.com/volume-label-2626045 Welcome to the channel fam!
How about G-Drive Armorlock SSD, is it too big? It has encryption feature that require phone to unlock it and it has last know tracking feature too tho, i mainly interested in it necs8i like yellow color and it looks really good with that yellow and great design, just a bit chunky!
I’ve seen the Armorlock online. Looks like a solid drive. Perhaps a little more expensive though than these options if I remember correctly. Probably a solid option though.
@@pauldittus i see, yeah i would love to get one someday! By the way Paul, I noticed your channel haven't had a logo yet, I wonder would you be interested in commissioning me to design a techie logo for your channel to level up your branding?

Hey friend! It depends on how you use it. For example, if you are currently booting from an HDD and you switch out the internal for an SSD or boot from the external SSD, you will likely see things move faster. I switched out my HDD on my old 2010 MacBook Pro and added ram back in the day and it made a world of a difference. That said, you probably want to decide if the SSD or saving up for a new computer is worth investing in. What laptop are you rocking right now? What do you do with your laptop (e.g. gaming, video editing, documents)?
@@motivate_k3766 big fan of making use of what you have available. But if your tech is holding you back and you have the money, you might consider upgrading your system. For graphic design, it sounds like a new computer would be very beneficial.
I believe it would work great for storing games as long as it's compatible with your gaming system. That said, I personally have been recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk. While I haven't personally been impacted by the issues, I have heard from others that they've experienced issues with the Sandisk. Hopefully Sandisk has fixed those issues by now.
NOTE: Testing these SSDs plugged in to USB -A is not a great Idea. They are capable of way more than a USB-A port. If you really want to evaluate them, you should use USB-C 3.2 Gen 2(x2) or thunderbolt.
Hey Friend! Good point. My 2015 MacBook Pro was what I had at the time. I’m planning to upgrade in new year so maybe I can give it a real test then. Hope all is well! Cheers 🙌
@@kevinbacon2955 Haven't tried it. Not sure if I have a USB C to Thunderbolt at the moment. Which drive are you leaning towards? Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
Bought WD SN550 NVME recently, installed it in my SSK 10GBPS enclosure. Managed to transfer 200GB of data in 4 minutes. Have a couple of T5s as well..they're pretty good.
You need to use the proper cables usb c or thunderbolt cables and connect them to a proper energy source to optimize to the most their potential. Sandisk can give you double of that.
I've had my Samsung T5 for over a year... or even two now. Best decision ever! But 1 to isn't enough anymore, so I'm thinking of upgrading. The price is high, ofc, but so is the comfort that comes with it.
Hey I'm kinda stuck and i need guidance from true long term experience! I'm seeing multiple negative reviews about SanDisk Extreme SSDs failing and stuff like that but Samsung T7 reviews seems to be the least negative. Please someone help me with what i should go for!
Personally I would just go with Samsung T7 right now. I personally haven’t had an issue with the SanDisk, but it’s hard to recommend with all the failure stories. Let us know what you end up going with.
@@pauldittus Hey thanks for the quick response! I just cancelled my Amazon order of SanDisk extreme 1tb protable blah blah and checked Samsung T7 is priced lower than SanDisk! I'm gonna order it as soon as i get a refund.
I'm not the expert, but still I'm pretty sure that comparison ssd vs hdd sound like a bullshit. Of course ssd is much faster, but speed of hdd is about 130-150MB/s, not so low as in the video where is shown 40MB/s. Other thing is hdd are also small, bigger than ssd, but only about 40-60% depending of storage amount. From the other side it's easier to damage hdd, because of its construction, but the same it could be said about smartphones, when you drop them on the floor.
Hey friend! Thanks for the message. You are correct that some HDD are faster than the one I tested. Mine that I tested wasn’t as fast (at least in the test I ran). It is also true that the particular HDD I had was much bigger than smaller portable HDD that don’t require power or fans. I guess this was my test results and my experiences. I will also say that the computer I used to test the SSDs wasn’t able to show the full potential as it didn’t support the full speeds. I am hoping to create an updated video now that I have a new computer which can show the speeds of the SSDs. Cheers 😊
I have both! I work on large (20~200gb) UE4 projects on my two T7s that light is nice you can tell if things are working. 2 years and they’re still great. Not really portable friendly because of their sleekness, I’ve dropped one a few times on my attempts at carrying them with me but everything seems fine. When I’m moving my laptop around the house sometimes I try to keep my two T7s plugged in, they’ll like slip off and smack eachother. These are better for stationary use or if you plan to hide them in a secure backpack or something after use. I got the Sandisk one for an on the go emergency backup. It’s very unlikely but I always get scared we’d have like a disaster a house fire or a robbery or something and I’d lose years of work. I don’t want to pay for a cloud service so having a durable SSD on me at all times gives me that sense of security. With the way it’s built it’s more suited for the outdoors than the T7. I never really keep track on how fast these things are but I’m transferring a 241gb folder from my T7 to my Sandisk and eta is about 2 hours 55 mins and sometimes the eta fluctuates. 11% in and it went to 1 hour 50 mins.
Hey friend! Thanks so much for sharing your review for the channel fam! You shared a lot of helpful details for those looking to purchase a drive! Thank you for being a valued member of the channel fam!
What a bullcrap video! Half of the time he is wasting time swooshing around that big HDD. I mean come on, we know you need money from UA-cam views, but do you seriously think we are here to know how good and light are SSDs compared to magnetic drives! Fofs!
Hey friend! This was my 3rd video on my channel. When I first made it I thought it would be interesting to compare the SSDs to a HDD, but after seeing the comments and more I realized people mostly wanted the comparison of the 2 SSDs. My apologies. It was a good learning experience. Hope you join me on my UA-cam journey my friend. Cheers!
Nice video. I am confused between these two. Have read somewhere that sandisk would perform better in writing large files because it has larger cache than samsung T7. What's your opinion? Could you take a real world test in transferring more than 200GB of mixed media type data with both the drives and let us know which performs better ? Thank you.
Hey friend! I haven’t heard about the cache. I did find the Sandisk perform slightly better and offer better durability. I personally didn’t feel like it was a drastic difference between the two. Both are pretty solid.
@@agamaz5650 hello friend! Recently I’ve been recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk due to people having issues with Sandisk. I personally haven’t experienced the drive failing, but have heard people having issues recently with them. I’m hoping it was just a bad batch, but it’s hard to recommend at the moment. So all that said, I would personally recommend the Samsung T7 right now. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
no doubt the T7 the better of the two's! Sandisk Extreme Pro 4TB kept crashing on me twice for no reason. When you own over 16,000 music videos and these Sandisk Extreme Pro 4tb are unreliable this was unacceptable to me especially before a gig! Thank god I had a good backup in my "Lacie 5tb" external hd. and after shipping it back (Sandisk) and also returning the replacment one at the same time and getting my refund and investigated more about those Sandisk problems and found out they had all similar issues to mine, So I went on to buy the SSD "Samsung 4TB Shield" after doing my research about them so I bought it and happy that I did with no issues! My personal opinion!
Thanks for sharing friend 😊 sorry to hear that the Sandisk crashed. It sounds like people have been experiencing issues with Sandisk SSDs recently. I personally haven’t had an issue with their SSDs yet. I love my Samsung T7. It’s been working great. Thanks for sharing! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
I really loved your editing and all the content put together smoothly. I absolutely loved it. Thanks again for the extensive, informative, and honest review. Pretty sure this videos take time and effort to make. We really appreciate your input into providing us with such great in-depth reviews.
Thank you so much for this comment my friend!! This means a lot to me. I’m so glad you found my content valuable and enjoyable 😊 a very warm welcome to the channel fam!!
As a professional video editor, I know storage is a huge deal. I got 2 NVMe SSDs and 3 SATA HDDs sitting in my desktop computer totaling in 2.5TB of NVMe storage and 25TB of HDD storage. My workflow usually is storing projects I am currently working on on my M.2 NVMe SSDs and later moving them to HDDs when I am done with them or barely need to change stuff in them because they are basically done. I went for the T7 2TB ssd to actually get footage I recorded on the shooting (I am also a professional camera operator/DP) over to my PC, but the SanDisk wouldve worked just as well. They are basically the same devices. Just grab the one that is currently cheaper or the one you find better looking. Keep in mind, when copying large amounts of files at once, the writing speed usually dramatically decreases once you have written files worth of 25% of the entire storages space. The reason behind this is that manufacturers usually only have 1/4th amount of the storage being SLC (single level cell) storage and write to that first. The longer time storage is usually TLC (triple level cell) storage, which is much more compact but also only 33% as fast as the SLC storage. When not currently using your SSD, it will automatically move the copied files from the SLC cache over to the TLC storage to then be able to copy stuff quickly again. Thats why it only really matters much, if you copy A LOT at once. If you have ever edited a video in 4K with multiple cameras recording in intra frame codec, you know that 500GB of footage are easily recorded, even when not recording in raw. But even for shootings with 1 camera you can also easily fill up 500GB or more, depending on what you are doing - but filling them in a day is no problemo even in Inter frame codecs with just 1 camera. 1TB may be enough for most of your shoots - just keep in mind that the 1TB version of either of these devices will get slow twice as fast compared to its 2TB counter part, because 1TB SSDs usually just have 250GB of the desirable very fast SLC storage, while 2TB ones usually have 500GB.
Thanks for sharing my friend! I love the detail and insights you provided. I recently haven't been recommending the SanDisk since I've heard that some creators have been having issues with the SSD fail. Hopefully they've fixed the issue. Keep up the good work my friend!
Great vid Paul. Im torn between these as I have been looking at other SSD's and these are my top two. If I choose the Sandisk one do you think it is possible to just use any USB A to USB C cable to use instead of the adapter they supply? Or is there some cables that have better transfer speeds that can be used?
Hey friend! Thanks for joining the channel fam 🙌. Absolutely, you can use a different cable. I did a quick search and it looks like you should be able to get the max speeds of these drives with most new USB C cables. Looks like USB C 3.1 or newer should do the trick. However, your speeds could be limited based on the device with USB A port on your using. www.akitio.com/faq/356-are-all-usb-c-cables-the-same Have an awesome week 🙌 let us know what you end up going with or if you have any other questions.
I’ve got the same dilemma! I’ve been watching a few UA-cam videos as well as reading other posts, but I still can’t decide! A big part of me is leaning towards the SanDisk because of its ruggedness and durability. I always worry about dropping things!
We use USB-C to USB-C on our studio equipment ie. iMacs...our location kit is instead a Windows 11 MSI gaming machine certainly not your typical location Laptop. Here we use USB-C to USB-A and we have never found it lagging or dropping off and the dropping off of any HDD or SSD is as we know...is royally a pain in the a**. The one thing people miss interpret on is the cable....Personally we kept our Seagate cables and use them for location work as they are a lot beefier and transfer data, images, motion files excellently. One other thing we added to our location laptop is a standard Bank of America rubber credit card sleeve ... they sticky on to the outside of the machine and hold securely the SSD so we can use a mini length 4" cable...keeps things tidy and comfortably out of the way. Removal is easy as there is absolutely no residue left behind. @alvareo92 We we have had to utilize 10G for a few contracts....yes, the specific cable was introduced to attain those speeds. Was it worth it? likely not for us, but each instance is different. I personally don't require 10G transfer speed ... as that is the time i get to actually enjoy the few minutes of downtime to myself. Great vid Paul...keep up the good work my friend
@@dr.richardamaral-psychology hi friend! So sorry I didn’t reply. For some reason I don’t know if it notifies me if someone replies to a comment. The SanDisk is a great option. Which one did you end up going with?
I don't understand why Sandisk is more durable than Samsung. T7 is made of metal and Sandisk is made of plastic. The plastic enclosure can be easily broken.
Hey friend! Completely understand what you mean. I prefer the feel of the T7, but for overall durability the Sandisk is my pick. This is from the Amazon page for Sandisk: “Up to 2 meter drop protection and IP55 water and dust resistance (3) mean this tough drive can take a beating” Samsung Amazon product page: “BUILT STRONG & SECURE: Shock-resistant and withstands drops from 6ft.” I haven’t done any drop tests, but it seems that the Sandisk has extra durability features like IP55 and dust resistance.
@@pauldittus 6ft is around 1.82 meters. So, it's not so much different. Plus, we still never know until we actually test it. Sandisk may be better for drop test as it's made of rubber. However, it will be a different story if you test other tough conditions such as smashing with a hammer or driving your car on it.
@@SoulicParadox you sound like a sammy fanboy tho. Calling is plastic while its more rubber is indeed cheaper feeling but offers more protection then metal/aluminum. in the end the looks shouldn't matter and performance and warranty does.
this dudes face is giddy when he talks about the samsung. he's clearly biased. I bet he has a samsung phone too. 4:40 yep i called it, samsung, look at his face lol he needs the T7 Shield
haha too funny. I am actually not a huge fan of Samsung phones. I prefer Google Pixel for Android. I am currently using an iPhone. For drives both were great when I reviewed them. However, recently due to issues I've heard from other people with Sandisk SSDs I recommend the Samsung over the Sandisk. Welcome to the channel fam my friend!
@@hianxi80 which phone do you use? I know in past models the pixel had slightly slower fingerprint scanning, but I am not sure if it’s still slow on the newer models.
G’day Paul, I jumped across from SKOOL and happy to support a fellow UA-camr & subscribe with a big thumbs up 👍🏻. I own both these 2TB version SSD’s and love them both. This is a great idea for a video 👌🏻 You produced & presented it well. Loved the out-takes at the end 🤣 Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Last week attached a T7 1TB to my Xbox One, and Xbox One X. World of difference. Next gen consoles are impossible to get. But adding these to last gen consoles makes game launching, running games, so much better. Say goodbye to texture pop! Graphics are marginally improved in that the console does have to compensate for texture pop by down grading the texture. I am guessing. There could be a different but similar reason, but either way, games can look better. Especially when movement is taking place on screen. Much faster than on board internal drive. Wish I could transfer OS to the SSD.
Sandisk Extreme SSDs all have the same problem: heat dissipation sucks. Sandisk Extreme generate way more heat compared with the Samsung T series, even the slower SATA Extreme heats up real fast. And the rubberised enclosure just make the heat to keep inside. Samsung T series generate way less heat and the aluminium enclosure is good for heat dissipation.
Thanks for sharing your input Rory. I believe the SanDisk Extreme Pro might have better materials for heating issues. I personally haven't had an issue with either one overheating yet. Which external drive is your go to? Samsung?
@@pauldittus I use both and I only have one of each. I would say the next drive I buy would be another Samsung since I don't take SSDs out in the wild so I probably don't need that IP rating. I know some people use the Extreme Pro V2 (the USB3.2*2 one) and they also told me those run really hot. What I've experienced is regardless the Extreme is doing anything or not, it heats up after half a minute when plugged into a computer (and of course the computer is powered on so the Extreme will be powered too), while the Samsung only runs hot when it's under some heavy work loads, and it'll be complete cool to touch if it's not doing anything.
@@rorywalters1614 I got the Sandisk Extreme Portable v2 (not the pro) and I also find it that it gets very hot...many reviewers have not either noticed or fail to mention this...this cannot be a good sign...very fast sure but it gets hot very quickly- I hope it doesnt fail too soon. The1000 MB/s is real (900MB/s for me with a M1pro MBP) and that's greaty but the overheating worries me. So the Samsung T7 is not as fast (but fast enough for 4k I hope) and it stays fairly cool?
@@TheFandangovideoguy hey Erick! Sorry for the delayed response. I’m afraid UA-cam doesn’t notify me about reply to replies. I personally haven’t had overheating issues with either drive… yet. Is the SanDisk still giving you trouble? Thank you for sharing your experience with the channel fam ❤️
I currently am recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk due to people reporting issues with the Sandisk. Hopefully Sandisk will fix the issue, but until then the Samsung seems to be the safe bet. I personally never had an issue with Sandisk, but saw other people having issues. Did you lose data with a Sandisk personally?
@@pauldittus yes, I lost 15 years of graphic work yesterday. I’m thinking of purchasing the LaCie 2TB Rugged SSD PRO, but the sandisk has kind of made me be more reluctant towards SSDs.
@@tribeofwolves so sorry to hear. I’m guessing you already tried recovering the data on your SSD? The Lacie should be a solid option. Another one worth considering could be the Samsung Shield lineup. Another consideration is Backblaze backup. It’s not terribly expensive and allows you to backup your external drives attached to your computer.
What happens if you want to clone your Win 10 PC, take the Sandisk on a trip, then hook it up to a computer at a friend or relative's house and use it there - do you have to buy a whole new MS product key for Win 10, or can you just run it the same as if it were your regular home PC using its own hard drive at home? What if you also want to do that win an old Win XP PC? I think I read that you'd need a whole new product key for that.
So sorry to hear that the T3 stopped working on the mac. Is it just the Samsung software or the drive itself? If drive, have you tried a recovery software yet?
@@pauldittus thank you. It says the software is not supported by the mac. Ive tried formatting it but when i do the space gets locked up. I installed the magic software by Samsung but it doesn't recognise the drive. It works on a windows though.
@@terord1 Oh interesting. Do you have data on the drive or are you just trying to format it to work with both Windows and Mac? What format are you using? Does everything work on Windows?
@@pauldittus everything works fine on the windows, it used to work on the mac but one day it just stopped. there is data on the drive, but can only access it with a windows. I used the drive on my mac till it stopped it working.
Personally I had no issues. That said, I have heard of people having issues with the SanDisk SSDs. I would suggest the Samsung T7 until SanDisk fixes these issues.
I just bought the 2 TB version of the SanDisk SSD (albeit, it has not been delivered yet) . . . Question - why am I seeing so many complaints about this SSD overheating and more important, is this systemic to all SSDs or just the SanDisk Extreme Portable? Thank you in advance . . .
Hey Steven! Great question. When I was using the Sandisk for work, I didn’t have any major issues with it. Perhaps others here have had other experiences, but from my personal experience it worked great for me. Also the Samsung SSD that I use now hasn’t had major issues either so I have yet to see if it’s systematic or an occasional issue with SSDs. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with. Welcome to the channel fam my friend 🎉
Hey friend! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test it with a Steam Deck, but I would imagine if the device allows you to use an SSD that this should do the trick. Thanks for stopping by the channel friend!
And if we talk about encrypting or putting a key or password on both ssds to prevent another person from accessing our files and information, which of the two would you recommend?
Good question. Personally I haven't used encryption on either so I don't know for sure. That said, Samsung does offer the Samsung T7 Touch with fingerprint security which is pretty cool. I haven't personally used that SSD version of the Samsung. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
Hey friend! Great question. You’ll want to check how you format the drives, but they should work great for both operating systems. Something like exFAT should work for both Mac and PC. I would just Google how to format for both Windows and Mac. Hope this helps 😊! Thanks friend!
Hey Lin, to be honest I haven't tested them enough with the iPad Pro to know which would last longer. I imagine they would be similar or not too far from each other. Welcome to the channel fam! Cheers 🙌
I have the SanDisk 2TB Extreme and an older G Tech 1TB SSD. From day one the SanDisk would get hot to the touch just plugged, no transferring or reading. Also, I couldn't edit video files and thus only used the SanDisk for backups. It failed recently after about 18 months, lost all data. The G Drive has proved to be very reliable and in my experience faster. I have the Samsung T7 on my shopping list and perhaps another G tech.
Hey Adrian! So sorry to hear that SanDisk failed you. Were you able to get them to replace the drive? Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
@@pauldittus I did send a support request to SanDisk support. No response as yet. I took delivery of the Samsung T7 yesterday and will do double back ups to be safe.
Thank you for letting me know. So by default Sandisk comes formatted as ExFAT which should work with your computer. As long as you don’t have anything on the drive that you need, you can try reformatting the SSD and see if that fixes it (this will wipe all files on the SSD). You could try another Windows machine to see if it’s just your computer. Lastly, you might be able to exchange the drive or get it checked out under warranty if it’s a problem is with the drive itself. Let me know if you have any questions 👍
If you’re asking for storing and editing from, yes it is. In my experience it’s been great for editing and storing my video files. Very happy with it so far.
Hey Tanner! I actually originally had the title more geared towards that, but I realized people were more interested in the SSD comparison. I've been thinking about making a v2 that focuses on the SSDs. I also now have a new MBP which can properly test the speeds of the drive. Would that be something you would be interested in? Thanks for sharing 👍
I have a sandisk extreme ssd however for some reason there is a glitch on macos where sometimes it doesnt see the drive when its plugged in I found a fix where you can execute the command diskutil list and it will see the ssd i dont know if the samsung t7 ssd has the same issue as i only really used it for recording footage on my iphone 15 pro
So sorry to hear about that. When I was using the SanDisk I didn't experience the same glitch. Did the drive always do this? Do you know the format of your SSD? Can you move all the data off the SSD and try reformatting it? (Reminder: Formatting will remove any data that is stored on the drive so don't do it before moving any needed data)
Hey Sagar! Thanks so much for the kind words. The Samsung is a great option. Mine is sitting on my desk right now. Love the portability and speed of that little SSD. Enjoy and welcome to the channel fam 🎉
Hey friend! Unfortunately, I don't own the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE to test it out. That said, I did find someone attaching an SSD to the phone: ua-cam.com/video/_sZHNgIa3Po/v-deo.html Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
Hey friend! First of all, that sounds like an awesome trip! Enjoy. If you feel like your trip might be a little more rugged, I would lean towards the SanDisk due to the extra durability. You might also look at the Samsung T7 Shield model. I haven't used the shield model yet, but it looks pretty durable. Hope this helps! Safe travels! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
So sorry to hear. I’ve heard that people have been having issues with the Sandisk recently. Definitely recommend the Samsung right now. Hopefully Sandisk will fix the issue, but for now agree about Samsung 👍
I just bought samsung T7 over SanDisk.they were both similar in price.i hope i made a right decision.i will use it with my xbox series x to store and transfer games to internal SSD.
Hi Friend! If you can use an external drive to play movies, I don't see why it wouldn't work. You can format the drive to FAT32. I personally haven't tried it so I can't say for sure, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
just what i wanted, got both in the amazon black friday and dont know what one to keep. Its so hard, as they both have they disadvantages and advantages. I like the samsung but does the both work on consoles? thats the deal breaker for me as im going to get a new xbox soon i think. I know you cant use it for series s games, only the pass games and basically non series s games. I could keep both but ive already got 2 small HD drives that are small and work on my ps4. wonder if the ps4 speeds up games on the SSD drives? any idea? cheers
Hey friend! Great question. If you can use an external HD with the Xbox I believe either drive would be fine since they’re very similar. I haven’t tested it personally with an Xbox so can’t say for sure. Have a great weekend 🙌
@@pauldittus the Samsung SSD E7 is the best external SSD I've had. It's small, light and has 1tb on it. It's sped up my games stored on it by twice as fast. I'm going to give it a go in getting a nice 2tb SSD internal now. It's breathed new life into my PS4 which is good as the new consoles have all but gone, so no chance of getting one now
I'm a student who will start using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere. So I'm looking for an external hard drive for my Lenovo IdeaPad3 15IIL05 since I already have other apps installed that I need. Based on your opinion, do you recommend having the Samsung SSD for my laptop? This is the laptop's info Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1005G1 CPU @ 1.20GHz 1.19 GHz System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.
Hey friend! The Samsung should work great for your setup. If you don't currently use an SSD, you will love the speed improvement. Welcome to the channel fam my friend 🎉
Hey friend! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉 I had to Google search your comment, but I’m still not sure I fully understand the meaning yet. Please feel free to explain for me 👍
@@Cerevisi It’s my review of the products. I bought the Samsung T7 with my own money. And I previously used the Sandisk at my previous job. Recently I’ve heard of people having issues with the SanDisk. So I’m probably less likely to recommend until I hear they’ve improved. If you have a question, please let me know. I would be happy to try to help.
Thank you for your comment. I personally haven’t had any overheating issues that have impacted my workflow. That said, I have heard from other creators that the Sandisk SSDs seem to be failing more than usual recently. With that I’ve been recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk for now. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Welcome to the channel 👍
With all my respect this dumb! You need to use USB 3.1 Gen 2 to get double speed of the regular USB 3 type A you are using! It’s not only your computer, it’s using type A!
Hey friend! I completely understand. I was just using what I had at the time to share my experience with others. I tried using my iPad Pro which has a USB C port but the speeds were not as fast as my laptop. Unfortunately, at the time of making the video I didn’t have a computer with newer ports to test. I’m hoping to upgrade my computer in the new year so I could test the speeds again.
For what is to use and how to use it 🤔 well I am yong ladie so don't relay have too much knowledge about technology only the things I needed generally 😊
What if you were putting the sandisk in your pant back pocket and unknowingly sitting on it ? How do you think it would hold up ? I dont have one but i really want to know
Good question my friend. I can't make any promises since I haven't had it happen, but I do believe it's decently durable and would imagine it should be fine most of the time. Probably would depend on what you sit on and how fast (e.g. if you fall on a hard surface at an angle). Welcome to the channel my friend 🎉
I need to know which one will work with iphone, and windows , I assume I will need an adapter for iphone but will either one work better( easier) just want to back up photos to one device
Hey friend! Great question. So I did some quick research and it looks like you should be able to use either device as long as it's formatted appropriately and you have the correct cables for connecting to your iPhone. Here are some links I found: ua-cam.com/video/1FyQkfvFEgA/v-deo.html eshop.macsales.com/blog/69022-connect-external-storage-to-iphone-ipad/#:~:text=a%20network%20share-,Directly%20Connect%20an%20External%20Drive,HFS%2B%2C%20exFAT%2C%20or%20FAT32. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
I would say it’s mainly a personal preference and what you need. I guess if you go with the 1tb you could always get another one later on. Unless you don’t want to carry around the data on 2 different drives or you have a use case where your using a lot of storage, you might start with the 1tb.
You are 100% correct about the speeds. It’s the computer I have at the moment. Hoping to upgrade in the new year. Hopefully I can retest it then so it’ll be more meaningful. Have a great weekend friend 👍
hi there...a bit late to the conversation. I have the sandisk Extreme portable V2 which is really fast but it gets very hot when editing 4k video with my M1 macbook pro...does the Samsung also gets very hot? do you do video editing? I need them for that purpose...thanks!
Hey friend! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉 I’ve used both for video editing in the past. I would say they get warm or a little hot, but I don’t recall them getting to concerning sustained level of heat. Personally, I use the Samsung T7 since that’s the one I own (the other one was for a job).
First, welcome to the world of Macs 🙌. I don't use time machine currently, but I would imagine these working great for that purpose. You could probably even get the V1 of the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD or the Samsung T5. I would probably go with an SSD of some sort. Hope this helps friend!
Samsung ssd is best compared to sandisk Samsung has better built and better speed compared to sandisk I am using both t3, t5, t7 touch and sandisk , sandisk is waste of money
Hi friend! Thanks for sharing your experience with the SSDs. So far I’ve had good results with both. Did you experience issues with your SanDisk? Welcome to the channel fam 🙌
Great question. If you have software to enable those features, I believe it should work. For example, I auto-backup my Samsung T7 using Backblaze. Welcome to the channel!
I personally haven’t noticed any major heat issues with either drive. I know if you look at reviews there are people that have experienced heat issues I believe with both drives.
@@ToySoldierYT1 cool! Let us know how it goes 👍. I'm sure there are other channel fam who would love to hear about your experience using it for gaming. Cheers and enjoy 🙌
Hey Friend! Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the Manifest show. Is it any good? That said, you’re right that I didn’t cover the full spectrum. That would be neat to document the history of the HD to SSD. Thanks for sharing friend 😊
Hey friend! Love it. Currently, I don't have direct contact with either, unfortunately. What would be your main use of an 8 TB Portable SSD? I could see something like this being helpful for creatives who work on multiple devices.
Hey friend! To be honest, I like them both for different reasons. The Sandisk is durable and has a loop for attaching to your gear. Personally, I like the look of the Samsung and prefer the cable it comes with. Since I’m not regularly white water rafting or mountain climbing with an SSD, I prefer the Samsung for its looks and feel.
Hi Paul, I just want something to keep my music files on so I can get rid of my desk top pc. I have too much music to fit on my phone. Would one of these be a wise option?
Hey J.D.! Great question. These are fast and portable options. They will be more expensive than a traditional disk drive, but if you don't need a lot of storage and want portability these are great options. That said, I recently returned one of my SSDs to buy a large hard drive. Here is my paid link to the WD Elements drive I bought: amzn.to/3cuVNUf If you need A LOT of space and don't want to spend as much per TB this is a great option. Downsides of the WD Elements I don't like that it requires power, is less durable, and is harder to transport. Hope this helps! And welcome to the channel fam 🎉
The USB C port on the Samsung is on the same side as the light so you are not likely ever going to see the light as the plug will be in the back of where you are likely to place the drive
Hey Gary 😊! I mostly pay attention to the blinky light when unmounting to make sure it’s done writing before unplugging. So far I haven’t had to really look at it because of it not responding or not responding fast enough 👍 did you end up going with the Samsung?
Hi friend! Both would great for your MacBook Air. Personally I like the look of the Samsung T7. The Sandisk offers a little more durability features. Hope this helps. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
It's a very solid SSD! I love that it has the option for the loop hole to easily attach to a bag. Plus with the IP55 you can have a little more peace of mind. Have an awesome week 🙌
Sorry friend. I originally made this as a 3 way review. And like your saying I realized that the main SSDs were what people wanted to see. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Appreciate it.
Hey friend! Good question. My intention was to show someone who never used an SSD before the power of the SSD, but I could probably skip that next time or briefly explain/show instead.
I normally put my videos/movies to my external drive, and watch it from there. Would doing that to an external ssd destroy the lifespan significantly of my SSD? Thinking of getting the T7 too.
Hey there friend! Great question. So I actually use my SSD to edit videos and for some of my creative project files. I prefer using an external drive as it's less stress on my internal hard drive. Your use case doesn't sound particularly draining for an SSD. All drives have a certain lifespan. So whichever drive you use there's always the possibility of it going bad eventually. That said I love using SSDs and they work great.
Hey friend 😊 great question. Personally I haven’t had any real issues with overheating with either drive. If you look through the comments and reviews of both drives, you’re likely to find someone saying either one has a heating issue. I can only speak from my experience and both have worked great for my needs. So for durability I like the Sandisk and for looks I like the Samsung.

Is there a restriction on the number of characters when naming a T7 SSD
That's a good question. Unfortunately, I'm not 100% sure. Are you formatting for Windows or MacOS? If Windows, this website shows how many characters you can use when formatting in NTFS and FAT: www.lifewire.com/volume-label-2626045

can external ssd speed up my 6 years old laptop
Hey friend! It depends on how you use it. For example, if you are currently booting from an HDD and you switch out the internal for an SSD or boot from the external SSD, you will likely see things move faster. I switched out my HDD on my old 2010 MacBook Pro and added ram back in the day and it made a world of a difference. That said, you probably want to decide if the SSD or saving up for a new computer is worth investing in.
What laptop are you rocking right now? What do you do with your laptop (e.g. gaming, video editing, documents)?
@@pauldittus thanks for reply currently i am using hp laptop for graphic design...its old hdd laptop with 4 gb ram
have to buy new laptop i guess
@@motivate_k3766 big fan of making use of what you have available. But if your tech is holding you back and you have the money, you might consider upgrading your system. For graphic design, it sounds like a new computer would be very beneficial.

Im looking to buy the sandisk 2tb extreme, is it good for storing games for gaming
I believe it would work great for storing games as long as it's compatible with your gaming system. That said, I personally have been recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk. While I haven't personally been impacted by the issues, I have heard from others that they've experienced issues with the Sandisk. Hopefully Sandisk has fixed those issues by now.
NOTE: Testing these SSDs plugged in to USB -A is not a great Idea. They are capable of way more than a USB-A port. If you really want to evaluate them, you should use USB-C 3.2 Gen 2(x2) or thunderbolt.
Hey Friend! Good point. My 2015 MacBook Pro was what I had at the time. I’m planning to upgrade in new year so maybe I can give it a real test then. Hope all is well! Cheers 🙌
@@pauldittus what about the thunderbolt port? I have a pro with a thunderbolt. Late 13’
@@kevinbacon2955 Haven't tried it. Not sure if I have a USB C to Thunderbolt at the moment. Which drive are you leaning towards?
Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
Bought WD SN550 NVME recently, installed it in my SSK 10GBPS enclosure. Managed to transfer 200GB of data in 4 minutes. Have a couple of T5s as well..they're pretty good.
Nice!! That sounds like a blazing fast drive. Hard to compare much to that drive 😂. Thanks for being part of the channel fam 🙌
You need to use the proper cables usb c or thunderbolt cables and connect them to a proper energy source to optimize to the most their potential. Sandisk can give you double of that.
You are 100% correct. This test was done with an older MBP which didn't have the right ports. I have a new MBP now so I should do a new video test.
I've had my Samsung T5 for over a year... or even two now. Best decision ever! But 1 to isn't enough anymore, so I'm thinking of upgrading. The price is high, ofc, but so is the comfort that comes with it.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the channel fam 🙌. I’ve heard good things about the T5.
Hey I'm kinda stuck and i need guidance from true long term experience! I'm seeing multiple negative reviews about SanDisk Extreme SSDs failing and stuff like that but Samsung T7 reviews seems to be the least negative. Please someone help me with what i should go for!
Personally I would just go with Samsung T7 right now. I personally haven’t had an issue with the SanDisk, but it’s hard to recommend with all the failure stories.
Let us know what you end up going with.
@@pauldittus Hey thanks for the quick response! I just cancelled my Amazon order of SanDisk extreme 1tb protable blah blah and checked Samsung T7 is priced lower than SanDisk! I'm gonna order it as soon as i get a refund.
@@whizz6841 you bet! Happy to help. I’m still using my red Samsung T7 in the video. It’s been great so far 👍🏻
Let me know how it goes!
I'm not the expert, but still I'm pretty sure that comparison ssd vs hdd sound like a bullshit. Of course ssd is much faster, but speed of hdd is about 130-150MB/s, not so low as in the video where is shown 40MB/s. Other thing is hdd are also small, bigger than ssd, but only about 40-60% depending of storage amount. From the other side it's easier to damage hdd, because of its construction, but the same it could be said about smartphones, when you drop them on the floor.
Hey friend! Thanks for the message. You are correct that some HDD are faster than the one I tested. Mine that I tested wasn’t as fast (at least in the test I ran).
It is also true that the particular HDD I had was much bigger than smaller portable HDD that don’t require power or fans.
I guess this was my test results and my experiences. I will also say that the computer I used to test the SSDs wasn’t able to show the full potential as it didn’t support the full speeds.
I am hoping to create an updated video now that I have a new computer which can show the speeds of the SSDs.
Cheers 😊
I have both! I work on large (20~200gb) UE4 projects on my two T7s that light is nice you can tell if things are working. 2 years and they’re still great. Not really portable friendly because of their sleekness, I’ve dropped one a few times on my attempts at carrying them with me but everything seems fine. When I’m moving my laptop around the house sometimes I try to keep my two T7s plugged in, they’ll like slip off and smack eachother. These are better for stationary use or if you plan to hide them in a secure backpack or something after use.
I got the Sandisk one for an on the go emergency backup. It’s very unlikely but I always get scared we’d have like a disaster a house fire or a robbery or something and I’d lose years of work. I don’t want to pay for a cloud service so having a durable SSD on me at all times gives me that sense of security. With the way it’s built it’s more suited for the outdoors than the T7.
I never really keep track on how fast these things are but I’m transferring a 241gb folder from my T7 to my Sandisk and eta is about 2 hours 55 mins and sometimes the eta fluctuates. 11% in and it went to 1 hour 50 mins.
Hey friend! Thanks so much for sharing your review for the channel fam! You shared a lot of helpful details for those looking to purchase a drive! Thank you for being a valued member of the channel fam!

What a bullcrap video! Half of the time he is wasting time swooshing around that big HDD. I mean come on, we know you need money from UA-cam views, but do you seriously think we are here to know how good and light are SSDs compared to magnetic drives! Fofs!
Hey friend! This was my 3rd video on my channel. When I first made it I thought it would be interesting to compare the SSDs to a HDD, but after seeing the comments and more I realized people mostly wanted the comparison of the 2 SSDs. My apologies.

Welcome to the channel fam!
Nice video. I am confused between these two. Have read somewhere that sandisk would perform better in writing large files because it has larger cache than samsung T7. What's your opinion? Could you take a real world test in transferring more than 200GB of mixed media type data with both the drives and let us know which performs better ? Thank you.
Hey friend! I haven’t heard about the cache. I did find the Sandisk perform slightly better and offer better durability. I personally didn’t feel like it was a drastic difference between the two. Both are pretty solid.
@@pauldittus Thank you.

@@pauldittus i heard the sandisk one overheats
@@agamaz5650 hello friend! Recently I’ve been recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk due to people having issues with Sandisk. I personally haven’t experienced the drive failing, but have heard people having issues recently with them. I’m hoping it was just a bad batch, but it’s hard to recommend at the moment. So all that said, I would personally recommend the Samsung T7 right now.
Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
no doubt the T7 the better of the two's! Sandisk Extreme Pro 4TB kept crashing on me twice for no reason. When you own over 16,000 music videos and these Sandisk Extreme Pro 4tb are unreliable this was unacceptable to me especially before a gig! Thank god I had a good backup in my "Lacie 5tb" external hd. and after shipping it back (Sandisk) and also returning the replacment one at the same time and getting my refund and investigated more about those Sandisk problems and found out they had all similar issues to mine, So I went on to buy the SSD "Samsung 4TB Shield" after doing my research about them so I bought it and happy that I did with no issues! My personal opinion!
Thanks for sharing friend 😊 sorry to hear that the Sandisk crashed. It sounds like people have been experiencing issues with Sandisk SSDs recently. I personally haven’t had an issue with their SSDs yet.

As a professional video editor, I know storage is a huge deal. I got 2 NVMe SSDs and 3 SATA HDDs sitting in my desktop computer totaling in 2.5TB of NVMe storage and 25TB of HDD storage. My workflow usually is storing projects I am currently working on on my M.2 NVMe SSDs and later moving them to HDDs when I am done with them or barely need to change stuff in them because they are basically done. I went for the T7 2TB ssd to actually get footage I recorded on the shooting (I am also a professional camera operator/DP) over to my PC, but the SanDisk wouldve worked just as well. They are basically the same devices. Just grab the one that is currently cheaper or the one you find better looking.
Keep in mind, when copying large amounts of files at once, the writing speed usually dramatically decreases once you have written files worth of 25% of the entire storages space. The reason behind this is that manufacturers usually only have 1/4th amount of the storage being SLC (single level cell) storage and write to that first. The longer time storage is usually TLC (triple level cell) storage, which is much more compact but also only 33% as fast as the SLC storage. When not currently using your SSD, it will automatically move the copied files from the SLC cache over to the TLC storage to then be able to copy stuff quickly again. Thats why it only really matters much, if you copy A LOT at once.
If you have ever edited a video in 4K with multiple cameras recording in intra frame codec, you know that 500GB of footage are easily recorded, even when not recording in raw. But even for shootings with 1 camera you can also easily fill up 500GB or more, depending on what you are doing - but filling them in a day is no problemo even in Inter frame codecs with just 1 camera.
1TB may be enough for most of your shoots - just keep in mind that the 1TB version of either of these devices will get slow twice as fast compared to its 2TB counter part, because 1TB SSDs usually just have 250GB of the desirable very fast SLC storage, while 2TB ones usually have 500GB.
Thanks for sharing my friend!
I love the detail and insights you provided. I recently haven't been recommending the SanDisk since I've heard that some creators have been having issues with the SSD fail. Hopefully they've fixed the issue.
Keep up the good work my friend!
Will samsung T7 connect with my iPhone 15 pro max directly?
can I use it for storage not just transferring files
Absolutely my friend. When you go to purchase you can select the hard drive size that works best for you. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
I'm so relieved you recorded this video in a kitchen - with bad acoustics - then put background music in to make a bad situation worse.
Haha good points. This was one of my first UA-cam videos. I guess I started my channel in non ideal situations.
Welcome to the channel my friend 😊👍
Great vid Paul. Im torn between these as I have been looking at other SSD's and these are my top two. If I choose the Sandisk one do you think it is possible to just use any USB A to USB C cable to use instead of the adapter they supply? Or is there some cables that have better transfer speeds that can be used?
Hey friend! Thanks for joining the channel fam 🙌. Absolutely, you can use a different cable. I did a quick search and it looks like you should be able to get the max speeds of these drives with most new USB C cables. Looks like USB C 3.1 or newer should do the trick. However, your speeds could be limited based on the device with USB A port on your using.
www.akitio.com/faq/356-are-all-usb-c-cables-the-same
Have an awesome week 🙌 let us know what you end up going with or if you have any other questions.
If I’m not mistaken you need special cables to deliver the 10 gbps on USB 3.1 gen 2
I’ve got the same dilemma! I’ve been watching a few UA-cam videos as well as reading other posts, but I still can’t decide! A big part of me is leaning towards the SanDisk because of its ruggedness and durability. I always worry about dropping things!
We use USB-C to USB-C on our studio equipment ie. iMacs...our location kit is instead a Windows 11 MSI gaming machine certainly not your typical location Laptop. Here we use USB-C to USB-A and we have never found it lagging or dropping off and the dropping off of any HDD or SSD is as we know...is royally a pain in the a**. The one thing people miss interpret on is the cable....Personally we kept our Seagate cables and use them for location work as they are a lot beefier and transfer data, images, motion files excellently. One other thing we added to our location laptop is a standard Bank of America rubber credit card sleeve ... they sticky on to the outside of the machine and hold securely the SSD so we can use a mini length 4" cable...keeps things tidy and comfortably out of the way. Removal is easy as there is absolutely no residue left behind.
@alvareo92 We we have had to utilize 10G for a few contracts....yes, the specific cable was introduced to attain those speeds. Was it worth it? likely not for us, but each instance is different. I personally don't require 10G transfer speed ... as that is the time i get to actually enjoy the few minutes of downtime to myself.
Great vid Paul...keep up the good work my friend
@@dr.richardamaral-psychology hi friend! So sorry I didn’t reply. For some reason I don’t know if it notifies me if someone replies to a comment. The SanDisk is a great option. Which one did you end up going with?
I don't understand why Sandisk is more durable than Samsung. T7 is made of metal and Sandisk is made of plastic. The plastic enclosure can be easily broken.
Hey friend! Completely understand what you mean. I prefer the feel of the T7, but for overall durability the Sandisk is my pick.
This is from the Amazon page for Sandisk:
“Up to 2 meter drop protection and IP55 water and dust resistance (3) mean this tough drive can take a beating”
Samsung Amazon product page: “BUILT STRONG & SECURE: Shock-resistant and withstands drops from 6ft.”
I haven’t done any drop tests, but it seems that the Sandisk has extra durability features like IP55 and dust resistance.
@@pauldittus 6ft is around 1.82 meters. So, it's not so much different. Plus, we still never know until we actually test it.
Sandisk may be better for drop test as it's made of rubber. However, it will be a different story if you test other tough conditions such as smashing with a hammer or driving your car on it.
@@SoulicParadox true. I guess the thing that sets the Sandisk apart is the “IP55 water and dust resistance”
@@SoulicParadox you sound like a sammy fanboy tho. Calling is plastic while its more rubber is indeed cheaper feeling but offers more protection then metal/aluminum. in the end the looks shouldn't matter and performance and warranty does.

Last week attached a T7 1TB to my Xbox One, and Xbox One X. World of difference. Next gen consoles are impossible to get. But adding these to last gen consoles makes game launching, running games, so much better. Say goodbye to texture pop! Graphics are marginally improved in that the console does have to compensate for texture pop by down grading the texture. I am guessing. There could be a different but similar reason, but either way, games can look better. Especially when movement is taking place on screen. Much faster than on board internal drive. Wish I could transfer OS to the SSD.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Jeff. Honestly, it’s so hard to consider switching back after experiencing SSDs. Enjoy 🙌
Sandisk Extreme SSDs all have the same problem: heat dissipation sucks. Sandisk Extreme generate way more heat compared with the Samsung T series, even the slower SATA Extreme heats up real fast. And the rubberised enclosure just make the heat to keep inside. Samsung T series generate way less heat and the aluminium enclosure is good for heat dissipation.
Thanks for sharing your input Rory. I believe the SanDisk Extreme Pro might have better materials for heating issues. I personally haven't had an issue with either one overheating yet. Which external drive is your go to? Samsung?
@@pauldittus I use both and I only have one of each. I would say the next drive I buy would be another Samsung since I don't take SSDs out in the wild so I probably don't need that IP rating. I know some people use the Extreme Pro V2 (the USB3.2*2 one) and they also told me those run really hot. What I've experienced is regardless the Extreme is doing anything or not, it heats up after half a minute when plugged into a computer (and of course the computer is powered on so the Extreme will be powered too), while the Samsung only runs hot when it's under some heavy work loads, and it'll be complete cool to touch if it's not doing anything.
@@rorywalters1614 very helpful info. Thanks for sharing friend!
@@rorywalters1614 I got the Sandisk Extreme Portable v2 (not the pro) and I also find it that it gets very hot...many reviewers have not either noticed or fail to mention this...this cannot be a good sign...very fast sure but it gets hot very quickly- I hope it doesnt fail too soon. The1000 MB/s is real (900MB/s for me with a M1pro MBP) and that's greaty but the overheating worries me. So the Samsung T7 is not as fast (but fast enough for 4k I hope) and it stays fairly cool?

The sandisk randomly erases and corrupts all my files.
Buy if you wanna lose all your life work
I currently am recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk due to people reporting issues with the Sandisk. Hopefully Sandisk will fix the issue, but until then the Samsung seems to be the safe bet. I personally never had an issue with Sandisk, but saw other people having issues.
Did you lose data with a Sandisk personally?
@@pauldittus yes, I lost 15 years of graphic work yesterday. I’m thinking of purchasing the LaCie 2TB Rugged SSD PRO, but the sandisk has kind of made me be more reluctant towards SSDs.
@@tribeofwolves so sorry to hear. I’m guessing you already tried recovering the data on your SSD?
The Lacie should be a solid option. Another one worth considering could be the Samsung Shield lineup.
Another consideration is Backblaze backup. It’s not terribly expensive and allows you to backup your external drives attached to your computer.
What happens if you want to clone your Win 10 PC, take the Sandisk on a trip, then hook it up to a computer at a friend or relative's house and use it there - do you have to buy a whole new MS product key for Win 10, or can you just run it the same as if it were your regular home PC using its own hard drive at home? What if you also want to do that win an old Win XP PC? I think I read that you'd need a whole new product key for that.
Thanks for this. Just purchased 2 x Samsung T7's in Graphite.

So been trying to format it to get it to work on the mac again but when i do it just blocks out the drive. Im using the Exfat format.
Have you had any "crash" with those two? CRashing portable ssd is the scariest!
Personally I had no issues. That said, I have heard of people having issues with the SanDisk SSDs. I would suggest the Samsung T7 until SanDisk fixes these issues.
I just bought the 2 TB version of the SanDisk SSD (albeit, it has not been delivered yet) . . . Question - why am I seeing so many complaints about this SSD overheating and more important, is this systemic to all SSDs or just the SanDisk Extreme Portable? Thank you in advance . . .
Hey Steven! Great question. When I was using the Sandisk for work, I didn’t have any major issues with it. Perhaps others here have had other experiences, but from my personal experience it worked great for me. Also the Samsung SSD that I use now hasn’t had major issues either so I have yet to see if it’s systematic or an occasional issue with SSDs.
Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Would these work on the new Steam Deck???
Hey friend! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test it with a Steam Deck, but I would imagine if the device allows you to use an SSD that this should do the trick.
Thanks for stopping by the channel friend!
And if we talk about encrypting or putting a key or password on both ssds to prevent another person from accessing our files and information, which of the two would you recommend?
Good question. Personally I haven't used encryption on either so I don't know for sure. That said, Samsung does offer the Samsung T7 Touch with fingerprint security which is pretty cool. I haven't personally used that SSD version of the Samsung.

@@pauldittus it stopped working after a week. Ima try an another computer later
@@djnicktv4713 so sorry to hear. What model was it?
Can we use them simultaneously with Windows and Mac ?
If yes then which one is better !
Hey friend! Great question. You’ll want to check how you format the drives, but they should work great for both operating systems. Something like exFAT should work for both Mac and PC. I would just Google how to format for both Windows and Mac. Hope this helps 😊! Thanks friend!
@@pauldittus thanks a lot 💖
@@viswanandsonu you’re most welcome 😊
Nice review, thanks I'll buy from your link :-)
Thanks friend!! Appreciate it ❤️ welcome to the channel fam 🎉
You seem to have the most insightful comments section of all the reviews I have watched this week.
Thanks so much ❤️ it means so much. I aim to build an engaged channel fam. Thanks for being part of it!
Hey Paul! Thanks for the video, do which of the SSD will give me a longer battery life on the iPad Pro? With no external power support! thanks!
Hey Lin, to be honest I haven't tested them enough with the iPad Pro to know which would last longer. I imagine they would be similar or not too far from each other. Welcome to the channel fam! Cheers 🙌
I really like that light on the T7. It lets you know that somebody's home. And God said, "Let there be Light".
I have the SanDisk 2TB Extreme and an older G Tech 1TB SSD. From day one the SanDisk would get hot to the touch just plugged, no transferring or reading. Also, I couldn't edit video files and thus only used the SanDisk for backups. It failed recently after about 18 months, lost all data. The G Drive has proved to be very reliable and in my experience faster. I have the Samsung T7 on my shopping list and perhaps another G tech.
Hey Adrian! So sorry to hear that SanDisk failed you. Were you able to get them to replace the drive? Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
@@pauldittus I did send a support request to SanDisk support. No response as yet. I took delivery of the Samsung T7 yesterday and will do double back ups to be safe.
@@AdrianW_photo Hopefully SanDisk support will help you. I do like my Samsung T7 😊
I have the SanDisk Extreme and I keep getting an unsupported disk error message
So sorry to hear. Is the drive brand new or did the error just start? What operating system are you using?
Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
@pauldittus it's brand new at Best Buy for $110.99 almost two weeks ago
@@pauldittus using Windows 10 on HP Stream 11-ak0035nr
Thank you for letting me know. So by default Sandisk comes formatted as ExFAT which should work with your computer. As long as you don’t have anything on the drive that you need, you can try reformatting the SSD and see if that fixes it (this will wipe all files on the SSD).
You could try another Windows machine to see if it’s just your computer.
Lastly, you might be able to exchange the drive or get it checked out under warranty if it’s a problem is with the drive itself.
Let me know if you have any questions 👍
@@pauldittus I'll try it when later on when I get home from work
Raisin Bran Crunch?
Good question. I don't believe it was Raisin Bran Crunch. I think it was some type of organic granola 😁
The SanDisk is on sale at Costco right now (until 8/28) for $99!! Killer deal.
Wow! That's a great rate. Do you know if it's the new version or the older?
@@pauldittus it's new version, the deal is still there..I got it today. 1 TB at $99

The Samsung good for videos??
If you’re asking for storing and editing from, yes it is. In my experience it’s been great for editing and storing my video files. Very happy with it so far.
P.S Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
This video is hardly a comparison between the two hard drives listed in the title. It is mostly a "Why you should buy SSD or HDD" video.
Hey Tanner! I actually originally had the title more geared towards that, but I realized people were more interested in the SSD comparison. I've been thinking about making a v2 that focuses on the SSDs. I also now have a new MBP which can properly test the speeds of the drive. Would that be something you would be interested in? Thanks for sharing 👍
I have a sandisk extreme ssd however for some reason there is a glitch on macos where sometimes it doesnt see the drive when its plugged in I found a fix where you can execute the command diskutil list and it will see the ssd i dont know if the samsung t7 ssd has the same issue as i only really used it for recording footage on my iphone 15 pro
So sorry to hear about that. When I was using the SanDisk I didn't experience the same glitch.
Did the drive always do this? Do you know the format of your SSD? Can you move all the data off the SSD and try reformatting it? (Reminder: Formatting will remove any data that is stored on the drive so don't do it before moving any needed data)
Are both the SSDs compatible with Android phones?
As long as they’re formatted to work with Android devices, I would should work great.
Excellent stuff. Planning to buy Samsung after seeing your video. Thanks a lot.
Hey Sagar! Thanks so much for the kind words. The Samsung is a great option. Mine is sitting on my desk right now. Love the portability and speed of that little SSD. Enjoy and welcome to the channel fam 🎉

Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
I'm going from south america to Australia, do you know if anything can happen to any of these ssd or I'm fine with anyone?
Hey friend! First of all, that sounds like an awesome trip! Enjoy. If you feel like your trip might be a little more rugged, I would lean towards the SanDisk due to the extra durability. You might also look at the Samsung T7 Shield model. I haven't used the shield model yet, but it looks pretty durable. Hope this helps! Safe travels!
Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
Had that sandisk extreme portable crash on me. Never using those again. Samsung all the way.
So sorry to hear. I’ve heard that people have been having issues with the Sandisk recently. Definitely recommend the Samsung right now. Hopefully Sandisk will fix the issue, but for now agree about Samsung 👍
I just bought samsung T7 over SanDisk.they were both similar in price.i hope i made a right decision.i will use it with my xbox series x to store and transfer games to internal SSD.
Congrats Jay 🥳! I love my Samsung T7. It should serve you well. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
@@pauldittus happy to be here

Cool, but you capped at 5gbs 3.0 speeds, this disks are 10gbs. Worthless test.

is it possible to play fat32 movies on my ps3 with this tool? TY
Hi Friend! If you can use an external drive to play movies, I don't see why it wouldn't work. You can format the drive to FAT32. I personally haven't tried it so I can't say for sure, but I don't see why it wouldn't.
Great high quality video man can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers! Definitely supporting
Thank you so much!! Appreciate the support. Welcome to the channel fam!! Glad to have you join me on the journey!
just what i wanted, got both in the amazon black friday and dont know what one to keep. Its so hard, as they both have they disadvantages and advantages. I like the samsung but does the both work on consoles? thats the deal breaker for me as im going to get a new xbox soon i think. I know you cant use it for series s games, only the pass games and basically non series s games. I could keep both but ive already got 2 small HD drives that are small and work on my ps4. wonder if the ps4 speeds up games on the SSD drives? any idea? cheers
Hey friend! Great question. If you can use an external HD with the Xbox I believe either drive would be fine since they’re very similar. I haven’t tested it personally with an Xbox so can’t say for sure. Have a great weekend 🙌
@@pauldittus the Samsung SSD E7 is the best external SSD I've had. It's small, light and has 1tb on it. It's sped up my games stored on it by twice as fast. I'm going to give it a go in getting a nice 2tb SSD internal now. It's breathed new life into my PS4 which is good as the new consoles have all but gone, so no chance of getting one now
@@vinylmonkeyTHFC wow! That’s awesome! Also thank you for detailing your experience. I’m sure others in the channel fam will benefit 👍
I'm a student who will start using Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere. So I'm looking for an external hard drive for my Lenovo IdeaPad3 15IIL05 since I already have other apps installed that I need. Based on your opinion, do you recommend having the Samsung SSD for my laptop?
This is the laptop's info
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1005G1 CPU @ 1.20GHz 1.19 GHz
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor.
Hey friend! The Samsung should work great for your setup. If you don't currently use an SSD, you will love the speed improvement.
Welcome to the channel fam my friend 🎉
SS Deeznuts, am I right?!
Hey friend! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉 I had to Google search your comment, but I’m still not sure I fully understand the meaning yet. Please feel free to explain for me 👍
@@pauldittus Too precious. So how much they paying you to say nice things? I'm not saying you're a sell out it's just every product needs ads IMR?
@@Cerevisi It’s my review of the products. I bought the Samsung T7 with my own money. And I previously used the Sandisk at my previous job. Recently I’ve heard of people having issues with the SanDisk. So I’m probably less likely to recommend until I hear they’ve improved. If you have a question, please let me know. I would be happy to try to help.
You did not address the overheating issue of SanDisk Extreme portable SSDs
Thank you for your comment. I personally haven’t had any overheating issues that have impacted my workflow.
That said, I have heard from other creators that the Sandisk SSDs seem to be failing more than usual recently. With that I’ve been recommending the Samsung over the Sandisk for now.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Welcome to the channel 👍
With all my respect this dumb! You need to use USB 3.1 Gen 2 to get double speed of the regular USB 3 type A you are using!
It’s not only your computer, it’s using type A!
Hey friend! I completely understand. I was just using what I had at the time to share my experience with others. I tried using my iPad Pro which has a USB C port but the speeds were not as fast as my laptop. Unfortunately, at the time of making the video I didn’t have a computer with newer ports to test. I’m hoping to upgrade my computer in the new year so I could test the speeds again.
For what is to use and how to use it 🤔 well I am yong ladie so don't relay have too much knowledge about technology only the things I needed generally 😊
Hello friend! Sorry for the delay. Did you end up getting one of the SSDs or do you have any questions I can help answer?
Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
Nice vid.
Nice face too. Super DILF vibes.
What if you were putting the sandisk in your pant back pocket and unknowingly sitting on it ?
How do you think it would hold up ?
I dont have one but i really want to know
Good question my friend. I can't make any promises since I haven't had it happen, but I do believe it's decently durable and would imagine it should be fine most of the time. Probably would depend on what you sit on and how fast (e.g. if you fall on a hard surface at an angle).
Welcome to the channel my friend 🎉
SSDs nuts
Hi Danica! Are you looking for an SSD?
Q: Can use sandisk for the PS4 ?
Great question. I personally haven’t tested using it on a PS4. But I’m seeing answers on Amazon that say you can use it with PS4.
I need to know which one will work with iphone, and windows , I assume I will need an adapter for iphone but will either one work better( easier) just want to back up photos to one device
Hey friend! Great question. So I did some quick research and it looks like you should be able to use either device as long as it's formatted appropriately and you have the correct cables for connecting to your iPhone. Here are some links I found:

i now have 2 T7s and 1 T5 for music library storage and backup.. sold drives
Nice! Love those little T7s! Solid drives.
I want the T7 can get a 2TB on samsung store for £193 vs £100 for 1TB am I best going with 2TB just so I have lots of spare storage
I would say it’s mainly a personal preference and what you need. I guess if you go with the 1tb you could always get another one later on. Unless you don’t want to carry around the data on 2 different drives or you have a use case where your using a lot of storage, you might start with the 1tb.
irrelevant speed test because the ports on the computer used are dated and don't allow the SSDs to reach even half their maximum speed
You are 100% correct about the speeds. It’s the computer I have at the moment. Hoping to upgrade in the new year. Hopefully I can retest it then so it’ll be more meaningful. Have a great weekend friend 👍
hi there...a bit late to the conversation. I have the sandisk Extreme portable V2 which is really fast but it gets very hot when editing 4k video with my M1 macbook pro...does the Samsung also gets very hot? do you do video editing? I need them for that purpose...thanks!
Hey friend! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
I’ve used both for video editing in the past. I would say they get warm or a little hot, but I don’t recall them getting to concerning sustained level of heat. Personally, I use the Samsung T7 since that’s the one I own (the other one was for a job).
@@pauldittus ok...My Sandisk gets way too hot in my opinion...it works...I may try the samsung this time...thanks so much
@@TheFandangovideoguy my pleasure 👍 hope the Samsung works for your needs. Let us know how it goes my friend 😊
Great vid Paul, I just got a new MacBook, would these be good for time machine or overkill ? I am new to Mac, so not sure what I should get.
First, welcome to the world of Macs 🙌. I don't use time machine currently, but I would imagine these working great for that purpose. You could probably even get the V1 of the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD or the Samsung T5. I would probably go with an SSD of some sort. Hope this helps friend!
Samsung ssd is best compared to sandisk
Samsung has better built and better speed compared to sandisk I am using both t3, t5, t7 touch and sandisk , sandisk is waste of money
Hi friend! Thanks for sharing your experience with the SSDs. So far I’ve had good results with both. Did you experience issues with your SanDisk?
Welcome to the channel fam 🙌
Hi, do samsung t7 have ability to autobackup & autosync when plugged into pc?
Great question. If you have software to enable those features, I believe it should work. For example, I auto-backup my Samsung T7 using Backblaze.
Welcome to the channel!
Does samsung t7 get hot during tanasfering large files when compared to sandisk
I personally haven’t noticed any major heat issues with either drive. I know if you look at reviews there are people that have experienced heat issues I believe with both drives.
The sandisk is awesome. But that cable is ridiculous. Disconnects easily.
Well said my friend. Great SSD, but definitely not my favorite cable. Welcome to the channel fam Stefan 🎉
How is the heating? How high it will get if i game directly from the SanDisk ssd
I’ve used mine for video editing and it works great. Haven’t used it for gaming, but I would imagine it should work well for that as well.
@@pauldittus thanks man replying for this late comment. I ordered the SanDisk ssd let's see🌝
@@ToySoldierYT1 cool! Let us know how it goes 👍. I'm sure there are other channel fam who would love to hear about your experience using it for gaming. Cheers and enjoy 🙌
Did you jumped completely the era of 2.5" SSD? Have you travelled in time like in "Manifest"?
Hey Friend! Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the Manifest show. Is it any good? That said, you’re right that I didn’t cover the full spectrum. That would be neat to document the history of the HD to SSD. Thanks for sharing friend 😊
Could you ask Samsung and Sandisk when they will release an "8TB Portable" SSD?
Hey friend! Love it. Currently, I don't have direct contact with either, unfortunately. What would be your main use of an 8 TB Portable SSD? I could see something like this being helpful for creatives who work on multiple devices.
So what is the best samsung or sandisk?
Hey friend! To be honest, I like them both for different reasons. The Sandisk is durable and has a loop for attaching to your gear. Personally, I like the look of the Samsung and prefer the cable it comes with. Since I’m not regularly white water rafting or mountain climbing with an SSD, I prefer the Samsung for its looks and feel.

Hi Paul, I just want something to keep my music files on so I can get rid of my desk top pc. I have too much music to fit on my phone. Would one of these be a wise option?
Hey J.D.! Great question. These are fast and portable options. They will be more expensive than a traditional disk drive, but if you don't need a lot of storage and want portability these are great options. That said, I recently returned one of my SSDs to buy a large hard drive. Here is my paid link to the WD Elements drive I bought: amzn.to/3cuVNUf
If you need A LOT of space and don't want to spend as much per TB this is a great option. Downsides of the WD Elements I don't like that it requires power, is less durable, and is harder to transport.
Hope this helps! And welcome to the channel fam 🎉
I don't know how they did it but my SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is flying even in usb2
These drives are amazing! Love SSDs!
The USB C port on the Samsung is on the same side as the light so you are not likely ever going to see the light as the plug will be in the back of where you are likely to place the drive
Hey Gary 😊! I mostly pay attention to the blinky light when unmounting to make sure it’s done writing before unplugging. So far I haven’t had to really look at it because of it not responding or not responding fast enough 👍 did you end up going with the Samsung?
Hey man which one would be best for MacBook Air 2017
Hi friend! Both would great for your MacBook Air. Personally I like the look of the Samsung T7. The Sandisk offers a little more durability features. Hope this helps. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉

It's a very solid SSD! I love that it has the option for the loop hole to easily attach to a bag. Plus with the IP55 you can have a little more peace of mind. Have an awesome week 🙌
Hi, we know you don't like the old one, please stop talking about it. Just wanted to see the review of two drives not three.
Sorry friend. I originally made this as a 3 way review. And like your saying I realized that the main SSDs were what people wanted to see. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Appreciate it.
I dont even know why are you comparing to the traditional HD there no comparison in that.
Hey friend! Good question. My intention was to show someone who never used an SSD before the power of the SSD, but I could probably skip that next time or briefly explain/show instead.
I normally put my videos/movies to my external drive, and watch it from there. Would doing that to an external ssd destroy the lifespan significantly of my SSD? Thinking of getting the T7 too.
Hey there friend! Great question. So I actually use my SSD to edit videos and for some of my creative project files. I prefer using an external drive as it's less stress on my internal hard drive. Your use case doesn't sound particularly draining for an SSD. All drives have a certain lifespan. So whichever drive you use there's always the possibility of it going bad eventually. That said I love using SSDs and they work great.

Hey friend 😊 great question. Personally I haven’t had any real issues with overheating with either drive. If you look through the comments and reviews of both drives, you’re likely to find someone saying either one has a heating issue. I can only speak from my experience and both have worked great for my needs. So for durability I like the Sandisk and for looks I like the Samsung.
