still to expensive i’ll wait till prices come down to buy one
What a cute 2TB SSD …. Loved it…!!
Please make a comparison review between this and samsung X5
Good Review
How come you record in 4k but output your videos in 1080p? I would love to see your videos in 2k on my S7 or my 4k tv
Great review , with one you like better WD Mypassport SSD or Sandisk EXtreme SSD?
Millennials don’t know what SneakerNet is you better make an entire video dedicated to that.
How to format ssd for use mac and pc ?
Surprisingly, people are selling 250GB version of this drive at 50 – 60 USD at eBay in August 2018, much cheaper than usual. However, 500GB and 1TB prices show no difference from the other stores.
External SSDs are looking better and better. Question though, There is a “Join” button next to the subscribe button. I’ve never seen this before on a Youtube channel. Of course, I’m already subscribed, but what’s the Join button for? Is it a chrome specific thing? using Google Chrome. at the moment.
I was avoiding clicking on your channel as the logo made me think that it was some geriatric shopping channel. My opinion doesn’t count, but I think you’ll do wonders to modernise it as well as your background (a little less bland and ikea-ish, just don’t lose the retro consoles). Your channel is amazing. Just wish I noticed earlier.
Hey, Lon Great channel Thanks for all the reviews. BTW, earlier today (6:30AM est) I ordered the Sandisk through your affiliate link I had to log in to my Amazon app verses directly from the webpage. I hope your link is persistent and you get credit! Thanks again!!!
Just bought one of this, i discover the SanDisk logo silver paint had smear off after just unboxing it (it shown in this video too!), i originally thought is the logo design, but it’s not! pretty bad build quality.
Splash RESISTANT and Dust RESISTANT
Another good one Lon. I’ve been using the T5 as my Plex DVR storage since your review of it. It works great. This SanDisk looks like another winner. I like the T5 low profile design as it sits next to my Netgear X10 rotuer running my Plex Media Server so my wife doesn’t complain about “more gear” in the den. Again, another well done review Lon. Thanks.
So I ran the same test.. With the same device on a surface pro4
My ssd has 500gigs.
The ruslts are always a bit different from. yours and Iam wondering if mine is bad., could you help. me. out with my question pls because otherwise i will have to bring it back to the store. My results are all about 70mb/s less except tge last one with 4kiB Q1T1. That one is even halb of yours about 17 read and 36 write.
THANKS already
Thank you for your review. By the way Can it be connected to a mobile phone through USB type C for data transfer please?
I am in love with it❤️
Only thing about this drive is I wish it had a light so you know when it is reading/writing
Good job
Thanks Lon for another “Solid” drive review. 🙂
I was just wondering how long it would hold bitcoin blockchain. It seems it is growing about 50 gb a year. It is presently about 180 gb. 800gb/50gb/yr = 16 years. So until about 2034.
Did you tried it on android as OTG???
Excellent review. If you use MacOS High Sierra, do you recommend formatting the external SSD as APFS? Does the disk format affect TRIM support? (My intention would be to use the drive to store video footage that I would actively edit within FCPX 10.4.x) Also, I saw you other video review of the Samsung T5. Which of the two drives do you prefer, or would you say they are comparable in terms of data durability and heat dissipation? Thanks.
As always, Love the disclosure in the beginning.
Not only is the cable short, the USB A adapter should have a connection so that it stays with the cable, like some other devices. I have one USB C hub and it has a UBS A adapter that remains attached to the dongle.
As you suggested, USB-A (plug) to USB-C (socket) adapters are expressly forbidden by the spec. The problem is that you could use two of them to make a USB-A to USB-A cable, which has been banned by the USB spec from the start. Plugging to USB-A ports into each other could damage the devices, or they could potentially even short out and overheat.
SSDs are great. But I can say from my own experience that a known working SSD failed when left unplugged for longer than 2 years. It was stored safely and the temperature was never above 82 deg F. I left it unplugged on purpose as a test because of some of tech specs on retention. Maybe it was that particular drive that was bad or that older generation. Just an FYI to consider.
Looks neat, too expensive for me
Keep up the great work
“This is a solid solid state drive” got me xddddddd
BUT can it be directly connected to a Samsung Android phone to transfer files off/on?
I wanna buy one so bad, but I am waiting on black Friday to pick up an ssd, both external and internal. They are so cheap now!
Great review….
There was no mention of the drive’s price. The price is, of course, a prerequisite of any decent product review. Was this an oversight or intentional because the product was supplied free by the manufacturer who did not want the price mentioned? BTW, the Samsung Extreme SSDs are costly.
Why isn’t it wireless?
I have had good luck with Samsung SSDs
connect directly to an iphone?
Slick!
Secon coment
A lot packed into a small drive!
