BEST SSDs! Samsung T7 vs SanDisk vs Crucial X8 and Acasis 🔥
BEST SSDs – THIS is why you should ignore benchmark tests!
I tested the most popular SSDs from Amazon using the Apple M1 Max MacBook Pro, M1 iPad Pro, M2 iPad Pro, M1 iPad Air and Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. I did use benchmark tools but I also did some realistic data transfers between these devices and the SSDs. The results vary wildly, but I share all the data here in this video. You can even use some of these faster ones on your Tesla 👀

I’d be careful with using the T7 shield for ProRes. Yes it will work but if you try 4K60 in LOG and it will drop frames, the footage is unusable.
✅️I’m doing a new video about SSDs covering this but I’d recommend the X9 or X10 for fastest ProRes on the iPhone 15 Pro range:

Very weird, I am using the Sandisk portable version and found that the USB A to USB C cable only gave me around 450ish MB of transfer performance while switching the cable to my samung t7 usb c to c cable on the same drive gave me around 800 MB on sequential read and writes. How come yours are much less.
I purchased SanDisk SSD but want to return by reading negative feedback of SSD
What is your thought about Kingston XS1000 ?
l like your channel thanks
thanks Alex very helpfull ! buying the 7Shield today
The answer is none of these. Get a $40 nvme to usb adapter and a super fast Gen 4 stick. Way faster for the same price.

I knew the advertised speeds were a bit off but I’m extremely surprised at how much the speeds vary between drives and devices! Links 🔗below:

Thanks so much for watching, which one is the best one for you? Let me know 👇🏼 Have a great day 🙏🏼
Thank you I’m in the market for an external SSD and Looking for some review. I got scared by some of the sandisk reviews which said it died within a year
Any tip on why my T7 Shield 1TB slowed down that 130 GBs transfer takes almost 10 minutes while my other 1TB T7 Shield takes up to 2 minutes max? Did I reach some BTW limit with the first one? The USB-C cables are alright on both. What could be the issue?
I am using T7 1Tb, Lacie rugged thunderbolt 3 2Tb, 3 WD ultra passport 4TB and still need for more probably.:( For me I think each can depend on the occasion purposes. If need fast, thunderbolt Lacie rugged is the one. If in the middle rush, then the T7 will be named. Otherwise, just ordinary download and for the longterm, storage, WD 4tb will be the cost effective choice.
For your clip: I still prefer the chapters to be easier watching. As also a youtuber I know clearly how hard to follow the tech subject so come on, you’ve got my support! Thanks and keep doing a good work though!🤟👌
Good video
Sandisk extreme 2 TB is a piece of garbage. A paperweight for $160.00. It no longer recognizes my password on one computer; on another it will not password protect, but at least I can access my data when plugged into my desktop which no longer asks for a password. Plenty of folks lost data. There are several class actions against Western Digital for this. They have fallen from grace. I wkll never buy another WD product.
My Sandisk 2Tb failed – and hopeless support – so I won’t buy buying Sandisk again.
never ever SandDisk! It lost my Data!
don’t buy sandisk or WD my passport they have HUGE known problems with data loss. ive been binge reviewing these drives and the Samsung T series are reliable. no one seems to be saying anything negative about them
Thank you …very good comparison. Is there any store you can recommend that can give a good discount, knowing T7 and Extreme is one year old already?
Samsung SSD T5 T7 T9 are just head and shoulders above the rest. I have been using them for my photography and videography and have never ever run into any problems. Not to mention they are quite affordable too.
It won’t fit in your tiny jeans pocket because you need to bring a cable and the adapter for the cable if you want to have both USB types. Dual-USB (A+C) form factor ftw. We need more good dual-USB drives. Without need to add on a cable.
whoa, the nvme external closure is magnitude faster?
dude those statistic i love it!

Prefer kingston 2000 ssd , now compatable for iphone 15
Apple products are crap, always lagging behind
I have the 480GB SanDisk gen. 1 model (the one without the hole), but after SanDisk’s last year’s huge data loss issue I no longer fully trust my (although unaffected) SSD and have been thinking of switching to a Samsung T7 or T7 Shield….but after a Samsung usb-c key failed on me (I didn’t lose data by some miracle) a few months ago, I’ve lost some of my trust in Samsung too and I’m not sure what to do. 😕
Very helpful!
Which is the best External HDD you recommend?
Don’t buy SanDisk Extreme it’s gonna fail
Crucial x8 is sold out on amazon probably with your doing 😂, is the x9 or x10 good candidates? Please give your thoughts
Awesome recommendations. I think my question will be, does the Cruicial SSD support gaming platforms such as Playstation and Xbox, with no formatting needed
Tell me which Cable should i use for High Data Transfer speed ?
best ssd Adata se880 if you have 3.2 gen 2×2
I like how u smile throughout ur whole video 🙂
Hello! Im a Dj and now a days i don’t keep my music in one computer. What ssd do you recommend to use in both pc and Mac.. In my PC 8 use Serato and in the mac i use record box.
I expect Samsung T5 and T7 drives to arrive DOA, they are bad.
I think Samsung is better
Sorry I’m a little late to this. But how did you have the drives formatted for connecting to the Mac? Into the iPad?
BEWARE that there are many issues with Sandisk Extreme SSDs now. They released an updated version (pretty sure it looks just the same, just different internals) and it has been repeatedly reported as buggy. I’ve seen quite a few people reporting data loss too, which was not an occurrence before. I can paste the models I know of, but they are not the only ones:
• SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB (SDSSDE61-4T00)
• SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 4TB (SDSSDE81-4T00)
• SanDisk Extreme Pro 2TB (SDSSDE81-2T00)
• SanDisk Extreme Pro 1TB (SDSSDE81-1T00)
• WD My Passport 4TB (WDBAGF0040BGY)
nice helmet!
2 years is so long for a ssd life
You have a lovable face.

Hey, great video! As for as I’m concerned the SanDisk Portable is NOT advertised as 1050 MB/s but 520 MB/s hence the performance difference you encountered. I’m not sure but there might be a model that goes up to 800MB/s too, but definitely no model that goes over 1000 MB/s. Cheers 🤙

Hi, do you create product video for AMAZON product?
Love the detailed work you put there 🙂
small correction about the heat… the drive getting hot is actually a sign of good cooling, if it stays cool to the touch thst means the heat stays inside which isn’t good
