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....
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
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.
Congratulations, one of the best reviews in general on RUclips, 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 😍
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.
Seriously RUclips, 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 RUclips mid-rolls.
@@cameralabs Please do because I'm sick and tired of all the youtube ads popping up at the wrong time. RUclips used to have an ads-free subscription but now they want you to pay for RUclips 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
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.
Great review! Thanks for breaking it down so nicely especially against the last gen. Liked and subbed! 💥🤘🏻
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!
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
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!
Thank you very much for the review, Gordon!👍
You're welcome!
Please compare this with samsung t7 ssd.
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.
Awesome review, just got the 500gb V2 and about to test it out!
Wow almost end my extreme back for the extreme pro, until I learned I'm operating with a USB 3.1. Much appreciated!
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!
Thank you for the thorough review. Subscribed.
Thanks!
Really appreciate the info...thanks!
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.
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.
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 hang this from a nail behind my TV and watch movies from it.
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 RUclips), it won’t matter.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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. 🤷♂️
Informative well presented video! Thank you, Gordon for wicked content! :)
You're welcome!
Great video. Thanks
Great job. You just saved me money!
Thank you
its currently available in 4tb model as well
Thank U for this in-depth review !!
You're welcome!
You might want to keep your kitty from playing with it an leaving hair or fur on the drive.
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.
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.
SANDISK!? I've been calling it SCANdisk for years. How have I never noticed?
Very very helpful! Thank you very much.
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.
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.
Your the only reviewer I can listen to..
Thanks! Good job as my reviews are long!
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.
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 !
Bro you drinked too much coffe, Your hands are shaking like an addict😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
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!🙏🌹👑☺️
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: ruclips.net/video/9oT74rI7eXE/видео.html
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: ruclips.net/video/9oT74rI7eXE/видео.html
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.
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?
Good review. Thanks 👍
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
Don't worry, you still got me to comment! Thanks for watching and glad you're enjoying my videos!

@@torakun3573 You're very welcome, hope you have a good one!
Good to see that it’s lint-proof.
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
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.
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.
Sounds like I should get the 1000mb per second version for my new macbook pro?
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 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 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 - 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!
You rock Gordon! :-)
Thanks!
Thank You!
Good work, thank you!
you're welcome! Do also check out my DIY SSD video!
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?
You should test the crucial x8 1000 GB/S best value for money and speeds that won't be bottlenecked by current ports
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.
Amazon has the 2TB v2 for $299 today only for their Epic Daily Deal today.
so fast it breaks easy
I always think of this drive as the cat /dev/null > data.txt drive
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
Hi Gordon. I know this is an old vid but I am considering this for use with the new Mac Studio. Am I correct that the Thunderbolt 4 ports on the device are backward compatible with USB 3.1 2x2 and therefore able to take full advantage of the speeds offered by this drive?
I haven't tested the Studio, but the ports look the same spec as my 14in MBP, in which case, sadly NO they do not support USB 2x2. None of the Macs do, and very few PCs do either. USB 4 is different. If you want the fastest speeds from an external drive on a Mac, new, or even a few years old, you need to get one which uses Thunderbolt 3 or 4. Check out this more recent video I made: ruclips.net/video/9oT74rI7eXE/видео.html

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
would the speeds be different if this ssd is used in a usb c hub on an ipad using the usb 3.0 connection??
Have you experienced any issues with MacOS Monterey - I have lots of problems with the Sandisk Extreme, but not with the Extreme Pro which makes me wonder if the drive controller firmware could be different. You can't update drive firmware with a Mac of course and both Apple and Sandisk seem to deny any known problems.
Hmmm, I generally only use Macs and haven't noticed any long term issues with my SanDisk drives.
So as of end of 2022, are there any laptops that will have the 3.1 2x2 20gbs pass through?
On the WD website both v1 and v2 2TB models almost cost the same, with the v2 $10 USD less.
I own the following: Mac Pro 2019, iPad Air 4 usb-C port and a iPhone 11 Pro Max usb-lightning port. Which SanDisk SSD extreme should I buy?
Not sure if you can connect any of them to a Lightning iPhone, but check SanDisk's website, there may be an adapter. But for the USB C devices, any of them will do.
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.
0:09 dude clean it before the video omg lol
It's impossible to keep this finish clean at v close range
Couple of questions. If you macbook only has usb c (3.1) is there any point in buying the V2 or would I just be as well buying V1 and save some coin. I heard also that some hardrives will not play larger video files than 2GB. I I want a external for video files - sometimes as big as 8GB will they place of this device?
The max file size depends on the file system which you've used to format the drive. As for the ports, not there's no point paying extra for a USB 2x2 drive, although if those models are cheapest or discounted when you're buying, it could still be worth getting just on price. Sometimes newer models are cheaper than the last one or two.
@@cameralabs I wouldn't know how o format the drive. I take it these are not plug and go like some drives then. Could you advise on which systems to format the drive . I am macbook user but I wanted to format so can be used on PC and Mac.
@@jonkino try fat32, although i think that's how they're supplied as standard, so I'd suggest just trying it first.
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 RUclips 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.
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!
Can I connect this to one of the Thunderbolt ports on a new Mac Mini M2 Pro with the included cables, and attain the max speed? Thanks.
I don't think so no. Not unless it has a 3.2 Gen 2x2 host. If you want faster than 10Gbit/s on a Mac, you're safer with a Thunderbolt drive. See my DIY SSD drive video.
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
Is this one a good one for bootcamping Windows on it for a MBP 13" 4 tb 3 ports 2019?
Gordon, as an owner of many external drives, I’m in possession of many cables of various configurations. Does the cable used have any effect on the speed? Could I just use the cable that best suits the length requirements. I also have a grab bag of cables and adapters for when I travel so may not use the supplied cable all the time.
I mention this in the review - ultimately while some shorter cables are better for speed, I would really recommend timing a large folder / file copy with each to see which is best as some brands and types of cables can perform quite differently.
Gordon, that addresses the length but not the quality of the cable. I did hear you say that, by the way.
And I just went onto Amazon UK and they only have the 1050 speed SSD’s
@@calvinchann1996 there's no way of telling whether one cable will be better than another just by sight - I have loads of USB cables for instance, and if a device doesn't seem to be going as fast as I'd expect, I test the speed and try a different cable. The ones supplied with the SanDisk drives have been fine in my tests though and not a limiting factor.
Gordon, is there a way to back up an sd card using this device and a sd card reader as a stand alone combo, ie so i could back up on the go?
No, this needs a host device inbetween, like a computer. What you're talking about is something like a Gnarbox or WD Wireless Go
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 😅
Hello, I am from Chile, I want to buy the sandisk extreme portable v2, it is supposed to have the same transfer speed as the sandisk extreme pro v1, and it costs me cheaper than the latter. Should I really compare it? Or should I buy the sandisk extreme portable v1 550mb / s? I only have port 3.0 and not 3.1 and much less 3.2, if I only have 3.0, how much will the transfer speed be? Excuse so many questions, I await your answer and thank you.
As far as I understand, Extreme Portable v2 is the same speed as Extreme Pro v1, but maybe the Pro has better heat management for prolonged use
Would you advise me to buy this SSD for my iPad Pro 11”?
Thank you in advance.
Hi I've just got the sandisk extreme,, do u need to open and install the security app or can u just ignore it and copy files to it?
I didn't use their app.
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...
