Wow

Very noisy load volume music
Pro Tip; dont buy the sandisk ultra and pro versions. The components can come off the NVME PCB (board) and will result in dataloss. Do not let yourself be fooled that this was/is an firmware issue. That is hardware failure. I built an external SSD using a standard M2 2280 drive with an usb housing. So you can choose yourself which SSD and capacity you want or need. And no real knowledge of computers is required.
Went with the Samsung T7 Shield, $110 off at Best Buy right now. Better not lose data! Like what has been reported with the Sandisk. Costco sells the Sandisk 2TB, wonder if those ones are having any issues.
Which one you recommend me, I just want speed and no problems like, and I don’t want my whole data get erased
My sandisk literally just crashed while watching this video… NO LIE!!! 😡
macbook a game download korben? tau abar high end?
“Cache” is pronounced the same as “cash.” The unrelated French word “cachet” has a completely different meaning.
You should add a disclaimer about the issues with the wcandisodrive. Also why didn’t you show a price for #1?
I find the DOCKCASE Pocket SSD (and its worthy copycats) intriguing…🤔
Is it worth to pay extra from 1TB to 2TB for MacBook Or just get an external drive?
why dod i get the impression his dude just googled each ssd for his video script and never actually did not testing himself.
I have never had an issue with SanDisk. 🤞🏾
Great, ty
Apple does not support Gen 3.2 2×2. For Mac users stick with Thunderbolt 4.
Don’t watch this, do proper research sandisk and samsung have massive scale issues. They racing to the bottom to keep their market share they pay for with the advertising and shelving space they pay for.
Samsung is better on drop and ip rating than sandisk to big company and popular for memory drives
i need a safe ssd for 5years storage. any suggestion?
Crucial is garbage because after cache will be depleted — speed will be 20mbs or snth like that.
Why would a Sandisk SSD be in this video as best external SSD, when it’s widely know that Sandisk SSD is terrible?
My Sandisk extreme crapped out after a couple of uses. Doesn’t get recognised anymore, apparently lots of people have the same problems. I’m switching to Samsung.
Recently got the buffalo gen 2
Bought a WD My Passport and only lasted 6 months then stopped working.
I just lost everything on my sandisk extreme pro. The file randomly stopped working and will not recognize.
Thanks your best overall pick was the same one that was mentioned to me earlier today. Thanks for that confirmation.
But which one won’t loose my data. They all have a 5% failure rate!
Wow! You really did your homework on external SSD drives! I just might buy one. Some are more affordable than I thought, so I’m deciding which to buy. However, since funds are limited right now I may wait. Thanks for the info!
Don’t buy San disk !!!!
one amazing channel and video it deserves way way way more subs, right to the point !

I don’t want any of them. My spaceship has a data control device. That’s only as big as a 3/4 of a micron. And it can store 10,000,000,000×1,000,000,000 MB. And it can transfer information in a parse in a. Quarter of nanometer. and besides that it’s in a color that you can’t see because you are human beings on this earth and only people like me can see the color that it is yeah so don’t buy any of them buy mine. It’s only $.12 yeah in the last 10 billion years and it has and it has a laserbeam transfer port that hooks to the mothership in a transfer so much information hasn’t even been written yet in this whole galaxy yeah it’s really cool
I’m going for the Sabrent rocket nano 4tb. WD and Lacie already had and just died out of the blue.
Grip surfaces: they just last a few years. Chemical deterioration after 2 to 5 years.
Buy SanDisk the one of the BEST SSD External Drive ever!!!
@0:52 "They’re designed to be fast, secure, and less prone to failure."
The adverb "fast" needs clarification. More, below.
@4:53 "We achieved…" goes on to state speed results, which are incomplete.
Folks, all of the speeds mentioned in this review are for relatively small data transfers. Perhaps up to several gigabytes.
But if you continuously write many more gigabytes of data, you will discover that your super fast SSD will probably slow to under 100MB/s, or even far slower than that. Why?
The manufacturers design these SSDs with, perhaps, 10% of the drive made with fast NAND fabric, and the other 90% is made with inexpensive, slow NAND fabric.
So when you copy files to the SSD, it will always use the fast NAND fabric, if it is available (and for general use, it will always be available).
When the drive is idle (which for most people, is most of the time), the drive’s controller moves the data from the fast NAND fabric to the slow NAND fabric. Your computer does not see that. It happens independently of the computer (as long as the drive has power). So the next time you go to copy files to your SSD, it will have freed up its fast NAND fabric, and you will see only fast transfer speeds.
For most people, this is not a problem. But if you will be writing to ½ of the drive, non-stop, you will be disappointed, when the speed changes from warp to snail, when the fast NAND fabric fills up before you give it time to free up.
How much of the SSD will have fast NAND fabric vs. slow NAND fabric varies from model to model. The manufacturers do not publish that information. They pretend that the entire drive is fast.
You would have to write a huge file to the SSD, and watch for when the file transfer slows down. You can then figure out how many gigabytes got transferred before it slowed down.
If you have a 500GB SSD, and you copied a 100GB file to it, and it slowed down when it was done copying 25GB, then you have 25GB of fast NAND fabric, and 475GB of slow NAND fabric.
For most folks, that is fine, as most folks will not copy that much data without rest. But this should not be a secret kept from you from the manufacturers.
I own a Samsung T5, and briefly owned a Samsung T7.
The T7 is supposedly twice the speed of the T5. That is true, for a small portion of the T7. The bulk of the T7 is very slow (USB 2.0 speed neighborhood), and is the reason that I returned it.
The T5 will run at nearly the rated speed, without ever slowing down.
So if you are using the T7 for not huge files, then you will be happy. Otherwise, the T5 will destroy the T7 for competing large file transfers.
Samsung probably cut their costs significantly, when they started making the T7, as only a small portion of it uses pricey NAND fabric, and the other ~90% of it uses inexpensive, slow NAND fabric. And Samsung got to advertise the huge speed increase, without mentioning that it is for only, perhaps, 10% of the drive’s capacity.
Please also note that it is not only about the USB version specifications (3.x gen x). Those specifications are important. But they only determine the speed of the protocol. If the drive is made with ho-hum parts, you will not get anywhere near the speed of the specification.
Thanks !

looking for an external ssd to upgrade my iMac from 2012 still running on Sata. I am guessing I don’t need the latest one, which one would be best ? Thanks
Thanks for all the infos guys, both the video and the comments, that helps some. Though the video wasnt so accurate but ok still, for the opportunity it gave at least to discuss about it and find in the comments :/
Interesting, my Samsung t7 shield 2tb gets 1043MB/s read and 998MB/s write. Very Happy.
Does anyone knows how to get these lost data back ?!
Damn y’all I just bought a sandisks
This video is just advertsiment. A WARNING: The sandisk ssd drives have design faults due to cramped space soldering. These drives are failing everywhere. DO NOT BUY THEM.
shame on you Valid Consumer" for not changing your video due to this world wide longer known sandisk information.
Sandisk 😊
