The cheap tiny SSDs that transformed my editing workflow! 

If you're editing in Resolve, there's a built in clone tool with checksum that's worth considering

Good advice

@@MrAlexTechwhere exactly can you find it?

Good point! Thanks for sharing!

@@theowlfromduolingo7982 Clone tool can be found in the media tab

I’ve been using the x6 ones solidly for two years and not a hiccup.

If they are given occational power, it is not a problem. It is when you just have them on a shelf that it was a problem, like you useing them also as a backup.@@philipbloom

@@steveschnetzler5471 I don’t use them as backups. They are active drives constantly.

Actually, these are perfect for me as I explained in the video. Thanks.

Are they thunderbolt 4 to get that speed Michael?

@@philipbloom Yeah I beleive so. In the FAQ's it says that they are "Thunder Bolt 3/4 are fully compatible with the Space Shuttle SSD"

@@MichaelWestcottFilms how much is it?

@@philipbloom it’s not cheap buying outside the US. It’s selling for $449 at the moment but then you gotta add import fees 😅 I think it’s worth it considering what you get though.

It’s a different use to what I need.

For what purpose?

hey, can you maybe help me with this question - does this device work as expected when connected to an android/iphone with password protection on, or does the password protection need to be removed in order to be connected to and files shown on an android/iphone? which phone do you use?

. I'm building a new PC , last time I did this was 11 years ago . I was left in awe/flabbergasted as I installed the M.2 ssd (samsung 980 pro 2tb) on my motherboard. Like, Holy fuck ! Its like a stick of butter 🧈. Recently, I got a Crucial p5 m.2 as a second partition. Just amazing how fast technology improves.

​@@budz.47I'm building a new pc too and went all in with a motherboard that takes three m.2 drives just to keep the whole thing with as few cables as possible.

NVME doesn't give you anything if it's hanging off a USB strictly speaking. If USB is used anywhere in the connection, it will be the limiting factor in most cases, unless we're talking about old gear that shouldn't be used anyway. The whole raison d'etre of NVME is direct attachment by PCI-E which you are not using or gaining anything from if there is a USB connection of some flavor in between. So, to sum it up, you cannot have NVME connected by USB as one is the opposite of the other, it's like saying your Ferrari is transported faster by a freight train than a Mercedes. No, it's not, both are loaded on the same freight train(USB) so their speed is limited to that of the train(USB), the V12(NVME) in the Ferrari doesn't make it move any faster by train(USB). Conclusion: you cannot have "NVME connected by USB" by definition of what NVME is.

@@noth606: I must have forgotten to turn my idiot attractor off, it's obviously still cranked right up to 11. 🙄

😂😂😂

I edit 4k 12 bit true unbayered raw directly from nvme drive in 3.2 usb enclosure. 400MBs goes easy. I also edit 4k 10bit directly from 100MBs sd card with 3.1 usb reader. For 4k compressed h264 and h265 files everything over 100MBs is overkill 😆

@@smalldeekgeorge Agreed that it's overkill unless it's multiple streams.

Because I love these. They are cheap, big enough for 95% of my hard drives and tiny. Why would they need repairing and more than an M.2 drive? This works very well for me. Thanks!

I’ve copied a 200gb file from one X9 pro drive to another and it maintained the same speed.

@@philipbloomours does the same thing. Plummets speed after a few minute when copying large files. 1.2tb folder basically slowed down to a crawl after a few minutes.

Thanks. Very happy with this though. Very affordable, reliable and tiny.

@@philipbloom its great for out of the box product 100% and if you are not IT inclined I do not recommend my proposed solution 🙈 I’m an engineer and a techno dork I do IT for a living so for me its dead easy but some people might struggle.. (you have been warned, there is no free lunch 👀)

I copied over 300 gigs yesterday by drag and drop from one X9 to another. The speed was consistent and fast all the way through.

But I normally use Carbon Copy Cloner for backing up and one backup I did was 5 times faster than the same one to HDD.

40-50 MB/s is the USB2.0 limit, you need a new cable

@@haavardnj I’m using multi, high quality TB3 and TB4 cables. The problem is either the enclosure or the SSDs and I’ve used multiple enclosures and SSDs.

Thank you :)

I love the samsung shield, and cheaper now

Smart!

They are SSDs so if your phone recognises SSDs, then yes.

Depends where you live and look. Much cheaper here

I expect it's just pre-formatted!

That was a VERY small project!!

I still revisit that hilarious unboxing experience from time to time. @@philipbloom

Please state where I said 20 minutes? Thanks for your time.

I am sorry that happened but considering how much I go on about the importance of backing up this is a strange comment to make.

Go for it! I have no influence over them whatsoever! :)

Anything biger than 4tb you are best off getting an enterprise HDD based ext drive and just keeping that data in immediate use on SSD.

? ? ? complain to RU-vid.

Did you watch this video?

Yes I do.

Am good thanks, as I said in the video I manually check everything. "find a religion and pray a lot" good grief man, that's a ridiculous thing to say. Yes this is a hobby(!!) I love it when people pay attention to my videos before contention!

No stress, and I did view the entire video which seemed to put a lot of emphasis on the lengths you go to keep multiple copies of your data, so it's a fair assumption you value your data. My point is that you have a lot of single points of 'potential' failure. If your footage does have sentimental or commercial value then the points I made in my first comment are valid. Otherwise neither of us care and then religion is a cheap alternative to genuine data resiliency.

Excuse me??

you can see stuff from there in my recent "Bloom Gold diffusion filter video"

Thanks for the taking the time to whinge. Turn the audio off and turn the captions on. Why people feel it’s OK to be rude in comments on RU-vid always bewilders me.

Such a stupid IGNORANT and RUDE reply to very useful and constructive feedback, dismissed as a whinge" . You see only the negative aspect and ignore the positive, with a ridiculous suggestion to turn off audio. Instead of simply having such crap and silly muzak NOISE that ruined your video, you would have served your viewers (potential) and yourself better with just a normal talking minus that utter shite. But you know best of course LOL! @@philipbloom

Thank you. It’s all an act for the camera and my diffusion filter!

But the drive locally if it’s cheaper, save your money! The link is purely for them to track referrals from the vid.
