2023 UPDATE! My Sandisk Extreme SSD is DEAD! Cannot open, disk not recognize. I do not recommend this SSD from SanDisk. I lost some of my files, photos and videos because of this.

Thank you for sharing your time and explaining the disc. Craig

I bought 1 Tb one. I just installed Ubuntu on it and I can have my system in any PC or Laptop. Very convenient. It is superfast even in old PC with USB2.

I got the 1T Sandisk extreme today and it has the same issue as you said it’s getting hot 🥵 so easily so, I’m gonna return it.

Maraming salamat po sa review kuya.

For Video editing there's still a benefit (and at the end of my comment: a way around port speed limit with RAID) even though hard drive transfers would be slow if internal is slow you can just go from memory card straight to external which might max at 300 for you and higher for people with usb. also READ speed is relevant and valuable to be fast even when not transferring. If the files are on the fast drive a video editing software's playback, scrolling, exporting and the overall editing experience will all be improved from faster read speeds. so if your computer has a slow internal but decent connections like usbc then you will still have great benefits. also transfers from one external to another will be limited by port connections not internal hard drive. so if your internal is slow there are still lots of benefits and consider instead what is your USB port max speed since that will be your speed you see. One thing I've done as an editor is use multiple external portable SSD's where I format them together as a RAID0 and that means you have to plug in both to see the drive and it is as big as the combined capacity and also speed so with two USB ports working at the same time you will see double the speed so maybe 500-600 with usb3.0. So with slow ports I would consider buying two 1TB instead of one2TB and raid them and you will have double the usable speed for editing. you can even raid small spinner portable drives together and get faster than ssd speeds but riskier if one dies of course so I'd stick with ssd for raid. for testing drive speed I recommend Blackmagic free program for that. Also I use these drives including the 2000 speed v2 and haven't had any issues with them for video editing. they are great drives and I am ordering more. Get all your stuff off spinning drives! they are time bombs and all die after a certain random amount of time!! back up and use ssd is my recommendation.

blame the external drive for having slow components in your computer... nice

Great Video Pete👍

U dit a very good job buddy!

Put a computer fan under the scandisk. You can also buy longer cable!

nice!!!

The speed of the drive will be limited by the speed of your USB port. If you don't have USB 3.2, it will be throttled.

Why I can’t use with my computer how I must do with step for the Sandisk Extreme v2

Hi, Peter. I could not get my Pixel 6 pro to read the SanDisk EXtreme Portable SSD. The Pixel "Memory Zone" app from SanDisk kept saying "Login Error." Any suggestion?

You forget constant speed witout droping at any size of files

Hi to everybody! So I bought two SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD 1TB each for editing my photos from them. I have two MBP's, the M1 2020 and 2016 on Intel and a stationary PC. So when I work from my M1 mbp, those drives are getting really really hot, even when idling... But when I work from my other computers, they are warm, or a bit more than warm. Do I miss on something or I have a faulty M1 MPB ? My other external SSD's are fine, but they are SATA, not NVMe (like those SanDisk's are).

are these drives same one in the video also say product of Malaysia ? where your one on this video says china ? also if on same pc 74.53gb t7 says 15 minutes and SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD v2 on the same file size is saying 1day and then about 2days seem far to slow ?

Did u try with usb 3.1 ? Internal need not be nvme . Sata also fine . How much speed you are getting with smartphone ?

But does it run portable apps without any issues.... has always been the issue.

Does lacie 5tb usb 3.1 type C works on android device such as samsung note 20

Hello Sir! Ano pang other hard drives ang recommended mo with 3k budget?

Thank you very much for this thorough review. I own a current MacBook Pro 4TB M1 Max laptop. I have been using a conventional Lacie 5TB HDD for my 'Time Machine' back-ups, but valuing a quiet environment, the associated sounds (noise) is of bother. I am considering buying either the 1050 MB/s or the 2000 MB/s version of this SSD, with the former being quite a bit cheaper. I am only running back-ups. Thank you for any advice.

is the usb c faster than the 3.2 or 3.1 connection ?

Does it come backup software?

So, now "No PRO V2" same like "PRO V1"?

Great Video!

Using this beast on iPad and Macbook Pro no problem, less than 5 minutes to copy around 50Gb Files. No heat also

I got the SSD extreme portable older version and I ended it to return it, it was getting hot and I didn't think it was fast comparing the Samsung t7 which doesn't get fast and it's very fast. Perhapes the newest version is better than the previous one?

does this work well with the ps4 pro

Did you ever try the crucial x6?

would it work with a Chromebook? thanks

These beautiful little babies are the only thing I use for my Nvidia Shield Plex server. Perfect tiny size, silent, fast, and the 2 terabyte version is great for NVIDIA SHIELD/Plex needs. Very nice that they run off simple USB power. You can easily run several of these off a USB hub.

my SSD SanDisk 1 TB can't be read any longer on my MacBook Air (OS Sonoma 14.5). I also do not recommend buying it until the problem is fixed!

Bro u have to use usb 3.2 gen 2 or thunderbolt type c port for that 1k MB/s

I use SanDisk Extreme (SATA) and Samsung T7, and I can confirm the SanDisk one does run really hot, Samsung has way better heat deception.

Bro use 3.2 gen 2 USB Port

Can i use this on my mobile ? Or should i go for any other products?

How do you find the cable that comes with this? Do you find it too loose? I have the exact same model you have and during a file transfer the hard drive froze on me and now my mac cant detect the thing. I'm wondering if this is due to the cable ...

DURABILITY !!!! the most important feature

How is your Ssd Now

WOW, that case is HUGE... compared to an ant! 7:18

I have a pc that I had built for my fine art. Very large file. I use my mai ssd drive for pho shop but store my images on a standard hard drive. I want an external ssd for my pictures. I just ordered the extreme pro v2. I have a usb connection but I don't think it's 3.2. Do you think I should get the t7 instead? The San disk had more positive reviews but if it not going to benefi me, I need return. I will get it tomorrow. I am a digital fine artist so I need to work fast. You said it got hot. I read that also in one of the reviews. Is that just being idol or when in operation mode. Please advise. Linda. Thank you

My Samsung t7. Does the same thing.

I wish they had HDD that size already

I agree. The fact that you are using the older USB adapter is what is killing your transfer speeds.

is this ssd good for gaming ?

So will this last for 10 years at least for long term storage (yes I know about the degrading, I intend to read it every few months) IF properly taken care of? Thats my main question..

A spoiler alert is when you "Spoil" the ending by giving it away. Not eluding to something you're going to reveal.

Software ????

@peter7james how is the unit now that it has been 2 years? I have it and the heat is concerning.

I have the same model, Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD v2 na 500gb. Nabili ko sa Lazada last June 2021 from a reputable seller naman. Used it for basic video editing lang, dito ko dinidirect yung nirerender ko. Fast forward to Sept 2021, hindi na sya narecognize ng Mac Mini M1 at Windows 10 na laptop ko. Siguro nung nagka power fluctuations dito samin, nadale na sya. Meron po bang local service center ang Sandisk dito nang mapa-repair or at least maretrieve man lang mga files ko?

Your so wrong you don't need internal nvme to get the full 1050MB/s what you need is the correct use interface which is usb 3.2 gen 2. So I would not consider your video or the information in it to be very dependable.

What is better , The SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD or the WD 4TB My Passport SSD External Portable Solid State Drive ?

Good video but don't need music when you are talking. It's very distracting

Good day sir, talaga po ba super hot cya, pag gagamitin cya for video editing? balak ko sana bibili nito for video editing purposes..

you are not supposed to copy files when you test the speed of a drive with windows file explorer..... which is well known to be slow itself on top you mention your drive arent faster which makes the entire test usless to anyone else

Why didin't you test with crystaldiskmark?

Have your SSD died? Overheat SSDs usually die very fast.

I just bought macbook air. Please tell me which one should i buy? V1 or v2 ?

You did a real world speed test, the ratings are for a sequential read and write test. Also usb socket is water resistant, you should really take down this video.

I bought today 2tb same disadvantage as you told

OKn’t

There are now class action lawsuits being filed against this company. These particular drives are failing left and right.

The thumbnail is confusing as shit

😭😭😭😭

its a regular NVMe with an adapter. overpriced junk....

The Unlocker bullshit is why I hate them. Can’t go from windows to linux

#taecontent

SAN DISK died on me randomly, would never buy again, GEEK SQUAD was going to charge me 1450 to repair mixing files...

“I’m a KZfaqr doing tech videos with old technology.” 🙄 Don’t bring a 3.2 2x2 drive into a video without the requisite hardware. Period. End of video. Others will cover it better

USB-A is better than USB-C.

dont buy! Expansive and dont work with TV!!! (the olders and others are working!)

Pinoy spotted hahahah

It's a piece of crap. One day it'll just go poof and all your files will be deleted or the drive will be undetectable without any workaround. Make sure you copy your files twice for redundancy because this particular model is prone to this type of USB recognition issue (it's even on their own website)...

never buy, worst SSD in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bro use 3.2 gen 2 USB Port
