terrible product. why are you hedging.

thank you!!

Thanks anyone tried these on iPad Pro?

So I have a 2018 15 inch fully maxed out MacBook Pro with the i9 processor and the pro Vega 20 graphics card. Ever since I updated it to the Mac OS seqouia beta update, all my usb type c adds and hdds all have a listed read and write speed of around 30mbps per second when tested in blackmagic. Why the heck is this happening. I’ve tried everything like switching cables and using powered dongles and stuff. Nothing works. How do I fix this??

Very interesting. I am a computer scientist and I would believe that a card reader slot should be faster, since there are more pins to connect directly to the sdcard what would make reading and writing faster. Usb has only two wires for all data transfer. The other two wires are only for power. So, if a USB appears to be faster than a sdcard slot with a lot of connection pins, there must be a serious problem with hardware or software design, even on a microprocessor level (bad decisions about interruptions and data bus usage).

Thank you!

Mine is inside my PC so that's a bit different

1/5th NOT 5x

You’re lucky it even has any speed. My crucial x8 2tb has had a speed of 50mbps since the beginning.

can you please help and advice how can i assign automode scene selection to a button in fujitsu xs20?

I found this very interesting and helpful. Thank you

My 1TB X8 runs around 750-800MB/s with my laptop. It gets around 550MS/s on the desktop I use it with, but it's the desktop holding it back, because it's transferring from a SATA SSD. I have a feeling it's one of the more recent models. I'm sure it would be close to a GB/s from one of the NVME drives, but I haven't tested it.

You genius. I have no idea why this worked but it did. I have two small internal SSDs in small caddies. Wanted to try in new MBP using USB-C. One was as fast as usual, c.250 MB/s, the other had dropped to less than 10. Left the slow one connected for 10-15 mins and it's back over 250. Cheers for that. Ganpati bless.

DO NOT USE THE USB C TO A ADAPTER. Using the usb c to a adapter included slows it down to 40mbs whereas without it increases to 1gbs.

Big thanks for your excellent video/comparison Matthew very much appreciated…ktf

Are you planning a series on LumaFusion?

I just started to use a grey card for street photography and this was exactly what I was looking for

Ah another clickbait video. So, there is nothing wrong with the SSD. It's just that PARTICULAR PIECE that was defective.

Man, consumers shouldn't have to work so hard. Great video.

I was having trouble with slow ssd intermittently. Discovered the usb c cable was better flipped over. Don’t know why but was 10x faster.

how do i make it faster or instant?

Thank you this content is very usefull I have a Window pc with integrated sd reader and a ipad gen 11 (I guess) i am updating my pc to a new one still windows but without micro sd port. I normally read the photos directly from the ram Before copying them to the ssd so i don't make my pc full of something that i may not need. 2 questions: -is the usb-c as fast as the one attached to the motherboard of my 4-5 year old window: MSI PS63 Modern 8RC so that I can open it directly? -is the Apple usable on windows pc? Thanks Again, Max

My dual charger only charges one battery and doesn't even witch to the other battery once one is full. only if I pull out the charged one then it will charge the other battery. Is there something wrong with mine?

I purchase two 2Tb crucial X8 drives and they are utter shit. Having accidentally unplugged them from my iMacs without un-mounting first they then fail and can only be read and not written too or anything saved unless they are reformatted. Total waste of money and very annoying.

Straight to the point thank you

I got the pro versions and they are night and day, way better!, solid 980MB and 1100MB tests

Does it work in conjuction with a UV or filter in front of the lens then a revo ring with another filter attached to the revo?

Helpfull tip I set up my xr3 with it. Seems useful unless preserving the highlights gets difficult.

It looks like you also lock focus when you do this. Can you lock exposure without locking focus. On Canon you can use *HI which will lock only the exposure

Hey, if you’d be interested in selling your camera here I am in the market! Just thought I’d put that on here. Nice video too, liked the fence shot. Thanks

Hey, I have the same issue where it says LumaFusion is using 77 GB for me, but once I enter the cleanup tab in the app all the cleanup choices say zero KB and I can’t find a large one with all the GBs

The charge time on this camera is archaic. Can we use a more powerful charger (30W) to decrease the charge time while the battery is inside the camera?

Thank for sharing your experience, it hel me alot to avoid this model.

Its because the actual flash storage is around 50M/s write speed. The only reason you get higher is because it has a front end cache that accepts data at 500Mb/s until its full and it dribbles it into the actual flash. I don't know how big that cache is, but diskmark can probably tell you if you increase the write set until it drops off a cliff. I think its probably somewhere around 4Gb. The same is true for all consumer flash but most of the time you won't notice because its well implemented and the large flash is usually 150Mb/s or more so its far less of an issue. But if you try to copy a 100Gb video file you'll see that you get 500Mb/s and then it will stop for 10 seconds then copy at 100Mb/s for another 5 seconds then stop for 10 seconds and it will do this repeatedly until the end of the copy. What I found for the X8 was that it seems to get worse as the drive ages and I don't know why that should be the case, or why a replacement should behave better - although we have caught manufacturers sending models out for review which are much faster than the ones everyone buys later on.

so, what was the issue causing this problem you had?

I'm seeing a lot of complaints in the comment section about the X8. Does anyone know if the X9 Pro fares better

My crucial X8 2tb runs like garbage. It barely gets over 50MB/s for 98% of the time. It only hits the 900+MB/s for the first 10 seconds. I've only had this problem with Crucial's X series SSDs. My sandisk extreme pros do not have this problem.

I’m enjoying this issue, 10gb files transfers at 17mbs on Samsung SSD connected to pc with USB 2, and then through SD card adaptor to SDHC 128gb card. My SSD is permanently attached, not sure if it’s SSD, PC or SD adaptor that’s slowing it down

Anker Support 1080p 144hz?

2 Weeks and already getting failure.

I use my ssd as external storage for my Xbox series X, if I do this will it work for that too?

x8 on sale around 60$ for 1 tb. Is it worth?

This is gorgeous! It fills me with the desire to travel 🥰

Can the Apple reader handle a 4k60 ProRes transfer as it’s recorded?

A video idea for ya, talk about how you get such GREAT video images while wearing glasses, and getting no reflections! Wow, nice!

Wow nice trick, I'm gonna remember this and use it. Thanks so much for the short but still very informative video :)

Can anyone please tell me if the cpl can unscrew off ? The one sold with the cpl Included

Hey Matthew. Im looking for a usb hub / dock, to connect to my work laptop at home. Im planning on useing it with my 4k screen, plug in my various accessories, mouse, keyboard, etc, nothing more fancy than that. Its a lenovo thinkpad i use for work. Im looking for a solution like my lenovo docking station, to only have to connect 1 cable into my laptop and everything works after that 1 connection. At work it works fine, the docking can charge and everything is plugged and functions. Could you ontop of your head remember one you would pick for this application? im abit confused.

Every Crucial product I've ever owned is "meh" - Ok, but just not cutting edge, yet charging flagship prices. I'll stick with Samsung and WD SSD's

I tend to use auto ISO and like to control manually aperture and shutter speed. When I press AE-L nothing happens. When I put aperture on auto, still the lock doesn't work. Only when shutter speed is in auto the lock works, which makes no sense to me, because while shooting video that's the only variable I have on manual. What should I do for AE-L to work with all three exposure triangle variables? Why can't I lock only auto ISO for example? I hope it's my mistake, because if that's how things are on Fuji cameras, it would make me hate the company. It has to be my fault. Tell me it is. :)
