Warning ⚠️ External SSD in IPAD 🔥 

Glad the video helped you:)

Glad to have helped.

Right?! It was in my basket, thankfully RU-vid knew I watched a different video and made sure to help me out. Saw this in my recommendations.

Anytime. I gave the sandisk to my son. The Samsung T5 has been awesome.

Glad I could help!

No, you should be good. Sandisk actually recommended that drive when I called their support. You may want to consider just using a high speed SD inserted in a good ssd reader. Basically the same thing but can be more flexible. Its what I use for my iPhone. The speed is the issue however as it’s much slower than a ssd.

The other issue would be extreme battery drain if you didn’t have it plugged into ac power.

They are very expensive and seen reviews were people use them and they are not any faster

T7 uses a similar format to the sandisk. I have not tested and may have the same issue

SSD or SD Card? It’s the SSD that needs the drivers.

To be fair, I doubt any of the manufacturers test their ssds on mobile devices.

does t7 work with Air 5th gen? any idea?

@@user-gz5ss4ff4l don't know. I only had the Mini

Do you use your ssd to copy your videos to the ipad, or do you edit the files that are on your ssd?

I just got one today and I’m shocked that there is no software app. Do you just drag and drop all your media?

Hey i wanna ask how do u bypass the samsung security

I have the best luck with dragging and dropping with two files apps open on split view. Apple needs to clean up the external storage in the IOS.

Interesting. I will try that

Did you try to force close the files app? I have had this happen to me in the past and believe that fixed it. That’s the bad thing about the manufacturer not qualifying it on an iPad.

If you attach an external drive to iOS or iPadOS, the system has NO secure eject! So far. I've checked on HFS+ and APFS volumes: if you wire it out after closing the Files app, it leaves a "Volume is marked as dirty" mark on the volume. I have one such drive in iPadOS 16.4 now, when connected to M1 Pro without adapters and hubs, it won't mount (like you have), and when connected to High Sierra the system crashes into a black screen with a restart. Only on Windows 10 with universal Paragon drivers pack this disk mounts and reads. That's where I saw that it's dirty, but so far I haven't found what's causing the mac to crash from it. Checking and fixing it with the Windows mac drivers has been going on for about an hour. After fixing the dirty label without data loss, the drive now mounts fine under both High Sierra and iOS/iPadOs. I would assume that the "dirty" disk is not mounted under iOS precisely because the system is running a long procedure to cure it, but the disk indicator is not flashing, which indicates that there is no operation on the disk. At least now I have a workaround to bring such a drive to normal.

@@quietboysince59 very cool you were able to resolve and sounds like making drive usable again. Apple calls these things pro but they can’t reliably mount a drive. Frustrating

They their products pro and for music production their chips and hardware make many third party companies always incompatible for years even . It took native instruments (virtual instrument company ) Years to get compatible with the m1 chip. You gotta sit there and not update OS or hardware for YEARS if you use it for pro stuff and third party tech

Transferring files and disconnecting is different from leaving connected while working

I would think it would be the same due to the firmware and operation.

Thanks, your IPad should read exfat. Is the drive an old school hard disk? My old ones can be iffy even on my MacBook. I would try power cycling the iPad.

@@ShutterFanatic I tried turning off the iPad but the problem still persists. I have both “WD elements portable” and “Maxtor M3” hard drives. The Maxtor is read even though it has been formatted in NFTS (therefore the files are read from the iPad, even if nothing is inserted into them"), while the WD (formatted in exFat) is not read🥲

Hi clyde, So how was your experience? I'm planning to buy T7 1TB for my ipad air 4. Kinda confused, no portable Ssds supports ipad os (usually mac os or ios) and there are some issues with some users (friends, reviewers ....) like ipads not recognising ssds, heating problems, file transfer problems etc. So could you please share your experience with the ssd , testings etc. Will wait for your reply before buying !

@@Animesh_007works decently when formatted as ExtFS (for dual use under iPad/Windows) . But controller doesn’t unlock the full potential of the drive. ~250MB/s max

I have not used the T7 sorry.

T5 works perfectly on both Mac and iPad. I love Samsung.

Sounds like a cool setup. iPhones still use lightning so expect usb 2.0 speeds.

@@ShutterFanatic It works for my Ipad Mini 6 great but I had to go on my Pc and Format the drive as a exFAT because it wasn't allocated and if it was it would have been NTFS which doesn't work for the IOS16 system so if people have trouble that could also be why!

@@TairaEldritch if you dont need to use it on a pc, you will gain transfer speed if you format it with one of the Mac formats (must have a Mac)

I have heard others having that issue. I have a MacBook Air but use my iPads much more. Best laptop I ever owned for sure. I installed jettison which is software that makes ejecting your drives easier as I always thought Apple implemented that not so great. The program wasn’t too expensive. Less than $10 I think.

I do not know about this for sure, but i think you have to copy the actual image or video to ipad main storage to properly edit it

Video for sure using LumaFusion. Not sure if any of the mainstream photo editing apps support external ssd or not.

@@ShutterFanatic thank you!

Hi! May I give you a suggestion. Putting myself in your position, I would still go and buy Ipad Air or 10th gen Ipad with 256gb. A device with 64gb is a good one, but for content consumption, writing emails, reading.. With cloud service, all your heavy files will be accessible but not taking place in your ipad. However, for video and photo editing, I would go for 256gb. Not only because of the files, but because of the system updates and apps storage and updates. If your system is almost full, it won't work properly. The main difference between Air and Ipad 10gen is the chip. Of course, there are even more, but now we are talking about editing large files, not everyday life. So, if I have to look after my budget, I would take ipad 10gen with 256gb. This device would give me all its potential , and it would help me to understand... Am I serious about editing, or is it only a hobby. If it is only a hobby of mine and I just want a good device, 10th gen is a great option at a lower price. If I am a person who is going after something more serious for video editing and the budget is an issue, I would check Apples options on their official website in the section "refurbished." You would be suprised how good deals you can find there. Also, you have some warranty directly from Apple. Anyway, no matter you decide, believe in your own intuition and choices! Even our own mistakes are better choices than the greatest ever someone else's advice. Believe and trust yourself, dear fella! Be well and have good times ahead of you!

@@SourianteOrange thank you for your answer!! I really appreciate it. Ended up choosing the Air 5 with 256GB cause I preferred to spend a bit more on storage instead of the fancy things from the Pro that I'm not even gonna use, and save some cash. I'm not in the us, so buying refurbished or otherwise is sadly not an option I can rely on. I'm happy with my purchase, I'll receive it soon! Many blessings to you 💜

What version do you have? I tried mine in both my pro and my dons air with the same results

Me too, all my photos are gone.

@@ppexped what ssd do use now?

That’s interesting. Thanks for commenting

Yes, I had the same results. Hope this helps

For sure iOS needs some work on file system and usb protocols

Doing some testing on ipad 16 now

Did you give it a shot? Did you have the same issue?

Good to know. I gave mine to my son spto use with his MacBook so I will have to check it. Hope they don’t stop making the sata type because the T5 is awesome.

@@chriswatts1909 I was looking for the T5 to buy for my son and see they don’t make it anymore. Thinking about getting the newer T7 to test. Let me know if it’s something you may be interested in seeing

Sorry, not familiar with the crucial model.

No familiar with the t7 but would try force closing your files app and restarting your iPad

If it’s a vpn, most major ones have an app for iOS.

I have a MacBook Air. I bought a laser thermometer to do a better test and plan on doing a compare of the 2. Even if the temp was normal, you can watch the battery drain before your eyes. Plan on including this as well. Thanks for taking the time to help.

No that option doesn’t exist on iPad. That said, I never disconnect properly even from my Macs and never got corrupt files. Did this happen one time or does it keep happening?

That's because you dongle does not support type C 3.2...

@@fefkvjeef thank you

No lag using 4K 30 with the T5. Have not tried 4K 60 yet.

It might be the same issue that I was having. I did a video on it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EeJyKt7agb4.html. Let me know if this solved your issue.

Safe is a strong word. I would feel more comfortable with the T5 but I don’t think any of the SSDs are qualified on IPAD. The drivers and OS are not optimized for compatibility. External drives on iPad are and afterthought.

How did you disconnect the ssd from the ipad? That could be the problem.

You would need to be able to save them to Files. I have GoodNotes but don’t use if often. I looked just now and not see this option.

Use Cloud storage.

Or you could also use an ordinary external hdd like a seagate .. it works seamlessly with the iPad to backup files

The heat is probably due to battery drain. This is the reason I use the T5 as it doesn’t this issue with the IPad

Is it a legit T5? If so, you should see it when you go to Files.

I wouldn’t recommend based on the response from Sandisk. My son has an iPad Air 4. I did a quick test and it got warm at idle after like 10 -15 min. Doesn’t seem as bad but you would be safer going with the T5.

I have tried a couple higher end cables but not the high speed apple oem one.

Wish Apple would update their firmware. Turning out to be not as much "Pro” as it’s marketed (lol)

Sorry, I don’t have a T7. I didn’t buy since I read that it used the same technology as the sandisk and worried about having the same issue

Just plugged it in and go into files.

Sorry, I don’t fully understand the steps listed. Can you please clearify

Thank you,big help.but maybe if you could show us how the connect was done it would be great tnx.fr a beginner in technology
