Do you have any tips for holding your iPad in your hands while using an SSD? With the cable sticking out of the side it’s really uncomfortable. Right angle cable or a dock?
Without a Mac, what format does the Sandisk have? I am choosing not to replace my Macbook Pro so need to buy SSD formatted for Ipad Pro--I've reformatted in the past but it won't be possible.
Hi I just got a ipad pro 12.9 2021 and wanted to know what docking station do you recommend this will be my main computer and using for school and work. I was looking at caldigit but would like your opinion?
I have the 2021 iPad PRO M1 11” 128 GB. It’s the only computer I use. I also bought the T7 SSD but sadly it dies not run on my PRO. I’ve been told I have to reformat the T7 but that takes a separate PC which I don’t have. Lots of guys have told me it works for them but they are not using the new 2021 M1 chip model. I’ve been told it’s not the chip, it’s the OS. Whatever. All I know is that I’m having to return the T7. My second pick is the Sandisk…like you show here. But I’ve been told with that one too reformatting is required with software from the Sandisk website. Heck if I can find it anywhere. And I would still need a second PC to make that work. Very frustrating. I think I’m going to hold off to see what you will encounter when trying to connect and use these drives. Thanks for your fine effort here.
Hi David! That is very bizarre! I've been using SSDs for a while and didn't have to format to use with the latest iPad but to be fair I used them first on my Mac, so maybe that was formatted already in the right way, I don't remember to be honest. When they get going they really are great but sounds really frustrating if you're having to format them beforehand.
OOOO THAT CRISPY B-ROLL!!! That T7 and Sandisk hits the sweet spot for price to performance!!! Cna't wait to see you test those docks on the new M1 iPad Pro!!! Awesome video Alex! So sorry for watching so late! 😁
Very useful video, especially for pro users of the iPad. I’m excited to see you test all these out when the new iPad Pro does come out. Keep up the nice work!
Just stumbled upon your video when researching for T7 Touch SSD and Sandisk Extreme Pro. But wait, I still haven't figured out which one to go with. 😆 Any suggestion for that?
Hi there! I would personally go with the Sandisk option. The T7 Touch is great too but I guess it depends on whether you risk losing it. If you plan on using it mostly indoors, then I'd say don't worry about that fingerprint feature. And even if you are on the road a lot and risk losing your data, the T7 Touch security is a nice feature but you can achieve the same by encrypting the Sandisk on Windows or Mac, just not as conveniently.
@@AlexGTech thanks for the suggestion! I think I will just use for indoor video editing with iPad Pro and Lumafusion. So it will be like editing with SSD attached to it. Then this begs me a question whether to go for 1TB or 2TB. I checked the local price for 1TB (1050Mb/s) in Malaysia came to $214 (after conversion) on e-commerce site Shopee while it only cost $150 (with $22 extra for shipping) on Amazon. The difference was too much that I need to seek for alternative. Apart for the cost, What’s your take on whether to take 1TB or 2TB in your opinion? Thanks!
Yes that’s what I’m using as one of my SSDs. Am I getting that speed? Not yet. I’ve managed to get around 800MBPs in my tests but I should try again as iPadOS has updated a few versions already
A screen protector on a mini-LED screen? I don’t know about that as protector lessen the quality of the screen. Why spring for a iPad with a killer screen only to tap it down with another film/glass layer? The case is another matter.
Normally I'd definitely agree with you but I was quite surprised by how many people like those "paper like" type protectors. I am with you though, I am not putting anything on that beauty!
@@AlexGTech I have a paperlike on my 2018, but it obscures detail on my wildlife photos, but I can use my 2019 iPad Mini to see a better image. I’m going to see how it goes with the M1 Pro without it. I do a lot of pencil work on mine so that *is* and issue, but I want the full benefit of the new screen tech.
Hi I have an T7 SSD; on my Windows Laptot 500mo/s write/read but on my iPad Pro 2021 100mo/s Max… without hub and stock usb C to C câble… have u an idea about this issue ?
that's way too slow, not aware of why this would be. Some cables to do make a difference so I'd suggest trying a different cable and see if that makes a difference?
I’ve recently picked up a Crucial P5 NVMe m.2 SSD for use in an enclosure for fast, portable, external storage. The read and write speeds are *insane!* 😱👀😁
@@AlexGTech - My, man! Plugable model: USBC-NVME which is USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 is the enclosure I have (£13.95 from Amazon some months ago). Will beat any flash drive currently on the market for read/write speeds when connected to an appropriate port on a laptop or PC. 🚀
Great video, new subscriber and I just had a question. I’m going on deployment next year with an IPad Pro M1 11’ 128GB with a Sandusky extreme 2tb and a GoPro Hero 8. My primary use is going to be storing a bunch of movies and GoPro videos and photos on the SSD. Do I need any sort of hub to properly use everything and have a seamless experience?
Hi Brandon! Thanks so much for the kind words and welcome to the channel! It depends on whether you will be using the iPad while you’re away from a desk setup. Whilst the GoPro supports wireless transfer of photos/videos you will benefit from a portable hub so that you can connect the GoPro through it while you’re out and about or use the SD card slot. Or even better, a Thunderbolt hub if you’re at a desk (the hub will need AC power) but with this setup you could use your Sandisk extreme and the GoPro at the same time at the fastest possible transfer speeds. For the hub, the one I’d recommend is the OWC Thunderbolt 4 hub (the smaller one will do, links in this video: ruclips.net/video/Oy014YEou7o/видео.html For the USB-C portable option, I recommend this one from Uni: geni.us/H1ifF Hope this helps 👊🏼 have a great weekend!
Cool intro!❤ I really wanted to have sandisk as my external storage, but I don't see anything like it in here. I don't want to take a risk buying online, so I will wait until I find a nice and warranted store selling those. My kdrama's can wait😂
bonjour je suis guitariste et chanteur, je voudrais acheter un hub usb ( ou dock station) compatible ipad pro 12, 9 2021 puce M1 avec plein de port usb pour brancher carte son externe, ou ethernet, ecran externe ect... quelqu un connait un produit vraiment compatible? je galere a trouver cela merci infiniment de votre aide svp
Hi Alon! Yes that’s on my list. Lots of people still prefer the 3.0 over the MagSafe version (4.0) so it’s a good accessory to review. I have a few videos to work on first but will certainly look at that! 🙏🏽
Yay! Legend! I’m originally from Brazil and grew up watching those incredible races. He’s still such a great influence. Thank you so much for joining me in my RUclips journey 👊🏽 looking forward to creating more stuff that you like 🙏🏽
I find attaching the SSDs with the key ring a bit too heavy - I wouldn’t want to carry it on my keys all the time. But I can definitely seeing it being handy if you need to carry it from place to place frequently and/or need a key to access your workplace
Yeah that’s true, maybe have it in a carabiner type hook for the backpack. To be honest mine has velcro and is attached to the back of the laptop most of the time but not sure year how I will use it with the iPad.
My geek hubby RJ got a text that ours is coming this coming week ; he will be outside in the driveway waiting for the FedEx man ! He bought me a silver 2 TB iPad Pro and himself the same thing in space grey . I'm not good with tech gagets and they don't excite me at all . He said watch a RUclips video please and learn stuff I have been trying to teach you myself he told me and you tell me to get away from you or your going to tear my face off . But I didn't want one ! $2,300 flushed down the toilet ! I'm.happy with my iPhone 12 pro max and I don't need anything else ! Told him that at pre order ! It will just sit here on my desk ; and I won't touch it ; just like last year's iPad pro still collecting dust ! People are different and enjoy different things ! That much money , he could have gotten me a new Louis Vuitton wallet a small one : but yet something I want and enjoy !
Haha I’m not jealous! Mine doesn’t arrive for another 2 weeks at least by which time the entire world will be bored with iPad videos 😭 oh well, will still make it as I enjoy this stuff. Hope you do find a good use for it tho, have a great week ahead 👊🏽
