I compared 2 SSDs (Solid State Drive) and a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) by running speed tests and going over the features of these drives. I had been searching for the best SSD (Solid State Drive) to store my projects (video, photoshop, etc.). Traditional Hard Drives are slow and can be a bit heavier to transport around. I decided it was time to switch to SSDs due to their speed and performance.
Today we’re going to look at 2 of the best portable SSDs on the market: the Samsung T7 Portable SSD and the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD v2. It’s so much more convenient to move an SSD after using a heavy and powered hard drive. Using an SSD instead of the HDD I had been using prior helped my workflow. Instead of needing both a power cable and a USB cable for the particular HDD I was using. I only need to bring a single USB cable to connect to this blazing fast drive!

@TakiGamesOfficial 2 года назад

I have both! I work on large (20~200gb) UE4 projects on my two T7s that light is nice you can tell if things are working. 2 years and they’re still great. Not really portable friendly because of their sleekness, I’ve dropped one a few times on my attempts at carrying them with me but everything seems fine. When I’m moving my laptop around the house sometimes I try to keep my two T7s plugged in, they’ll like slip off and smack eachother. These are better for stationary use or if you plan to hide them in a secure backpack or something after use. I got the Sandisk one for an on the go emergency backup. It’s very unlikely but I always get scared we’d have like a disaster a house fire or a robbery or something and I’d lose years of work. I don’t want to pay for a cloud service so having a durable SSD on me at all times gives me that sense of security. With the way it’s built it’s more suited for the outdoors than the T7. I never really keep track on how fast these things are but I’m transferring a 241gb folder from my T7 to my Sandisk and eta is about 2 hours 55 mins and sometimes the eta fluctuates. 11% in and it went to 1 hour 50 mins.

Which one not more hot

@jdranetz 2 года назад

Last week attached a T7 1TB to my Xbox One, and Xbox One X. World of difference. Next gen consoles are impossible to get. But adding these to last gen consoles makes game launching, running games, so much better. Say goodbye to texture pop! Graphics are marginally improved in that the console does have to compensate for texture pop by down grading the texture. I am guessing. There could be a different but similar reason, but either way, games can look better. Especially when movement is taking place on screen. Much faster than on board internal drive. Wish I could transfer OS to the SSD.

Great vid Paul. Im torn between these as I have been looking at other SSD's and these are my top two. If I choose the Sandisk one do you think it is possible to just use any USB A to USB C cable to use instead of the adapter they supply? Or is there some cables that have better transfer speeds that can be used?

@pauldittus 3 года назад

Hey friend! Thanks for joining the channel fam 🙌. Absolutely, you can use a different cable. I did a quick search and it looks like you should be able to get the max speeds of these drives with most new USB C cables. Looks like USB C 3.1 or newer should do the trick. However, your speeds could be limited based on the device with USB A port on your using. www.akitio.com/faq/356-are-all-usb-c-cables-the-same Have an awesome week 🙌 let us know what you end up going with or if you have any other questions.

@alvareo92 2 года назад

If I’m not mistaken you need special cables to deliver the 10 gbps on USB 3.1 gen 2

@dr.richardamaral-psychology 2 года назад

I’ve got the same dilemma! I’ve been watching a few RU-vid videos as well as reading other posts, but I still can’t decide! A big part of me is leaning towards the SanDisk because of its ruggedness and durability. I always worry about dropping things!

@studiolucephotography8484 2 года назад

We use USB-C to USB-C on our studio equipment ie. iMacs...our location kit is instead a Windows 11 MSI gaming machine certainly not your typical location Laptop. Here we use USB-C to USB-A and we have never found it lagging or dropping off and the dropping off of any HDD or SSD is as we know...is royally a pain in the a**. The one thing people miss interpret on is the cable....Personally we kept our Seagate cables and use them for location work as they are a lot beefier and transfer data, images, motion files excellently. One other thing we added to our location laptop is a standard Bank of America rubber credit card sleeve ... they sticky on to the outside of the machine and hold securely the SSD so we can use a mini length 4" cable...keeps things tidy and comfortably out of the way. Removal is easy as there is absolutely no residue left behind. @alvareo92 We we have had to utilize 10G for a few contracts....yes, the specific cable was introduced to attain those speeds. Was it worth it? likely not for us, but each instance is different. I personally don't require 10G transfer speed ... as that is the time i get to actually enjoy the few minutes of downtime to myself. Great vid Paul...keep up the good work my friend

Hey! Great video. I’ve had a couple problems with hard drives in the past due to them failing (lost all my files). Im really nervous to buy one but these are definitely my top 2. Im a vlogger so I’m always editing large files. Have these hard drives failed on you yet or are they still working fine?

@pauldittus 2 года назад

Thanks, Annette 😊! I'm so sorry to hear about your hard drive failing. Both have worked great for me (I will be returning the Sandisk to company). I would also recommend looking into a backup system to protect your files. There are systems like the 3-2-1 method that could be helpful. This is where you have 3 copies of your data: 2 local, and 1 offsite. I personally haven't done this... yet. At the very least I'm personally looking at Backblaze to at least back up my files offsite. Sadly, hard drive failure can happen when you least expect it. Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions. Welcome to the channel fam 🎉

@@HelloThere-lo3qi The beauty of backblaze is that it allows me to back up all drives attached to my computer. I had it backing up my 1 TB SSD, 1 TB HDD, my internal drive, and my 12 TB drive (not all of the drives are full). I recently switched computers so I still need to finish backing up my all of my drives again. It’s great having the piece of mind that the drives are being backed up.

@disco.jellyfish 17 дней назад

As a professional video editor, I know storage is a huge deal. I got 2 NVMe SSDs and 3 SATA HDDs sitting in my desktop computer totaling in 2.5TB of NVMe storage and 25TB of HDD storage. My workflow usually is storing projects I am currently working on on my M.2 NVMe SSDs and later moving them to HDDs when I am done with them or barely need to change stuff in them because they are basically done. I went for the T7 2TB ssd to actually get footage I recorded on the shooting (I am also a professional camera operator/DP) over to my PC, but the SanDisk wouldve worked just as well. They are basically the same devices. Just grab the one that is currently cheaper or the one you find better looking. Keep in mind, when copying large amounts of files at once, the writing speed usually dramatically decreases once you have written files worth of 25% of the entire storages space. The reason behind this is that manufacturers usually only have 1/4th amount of the storage being SLC (single level cell) storage and write to that first. The longer time storage is usually TLC (triple level cell) storage, which is much more compact but also only 33% as fast as the SLC storage. When not currently using your SSD, it will automatically move the copied files from the SLC cache over to the TLC storage to then be able to copy stuff quickly again. Thats why it only really matters much, if you copy A LOT at once. If you have ever edited a video in 4K with multiple cameras recording in intra frame codec, you know that 500GB of footage are easily recorded, even when not recording in raw. But even for shootings with 1 camera you can also easily fill up 500GB or more, depending on what you are doing - but filling them in a day is no problemo even in Inter frame codecs with just 1 camera. 1TB may be enough for most of your shoots - just keep in mind that the 1TB version of either of these devices will get slow twice as fast compared to its 2TB counter part, because 1TB SSDs usually just have 250GB of the desirable very fast SLC storage, while 2TB ones usually have 500GB.

Also, I couldn't edit video files and thus only used the SanDisk for backups. It failed recently after about 18 months, lost all data.

When you own over 16,000 music videos and these Sandisk Extreme Pro 4tb are unreliable this was unacceptable to me especially before a gig! Thank god I had a good backup in my "Lacie 5tb" external hd. and after shipping it back (Sandisk) and also returning the replacment one at the same time and getting my refund and investigated more about those Sandisk problems and found out they had all similar issues to mine, So I went on to buy the SSD "Samsung 4TB Shield" after doing my research about them so I bought it and happy that I did with no issues! My personal opinion!

I'm using Samsung T7 Touch 2TB for some months. It's great SSD, but sometimes make me problems. 1) When you watching video and occasionally rewind it back and forward, the SSD may stuck and even disconnect from the PC. 2) The same thing occurs, if you're working simultaneously with many opened files. Eg. converting video and make backup. 3) It happened several times: I work on one PC, and later open my work on another PC and see like all files in the folder still unchanged! Windows "Scan disk" can solve that problem, and all changed and new files appears as it should be. Seems like SSD for unknown reason doesn't update the file structure. *) I know about "Eject disk" command and always do it before disconnecting my SSD. 4) This disk is very sensitive to USB-cable and may not work properly with some. /// My older SAMSUNG T5 500GB had another problem. It sometimes made me errors with saving big files. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. T7 has no that problem.

@pauldittus 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing friend! Do you have all the drives formatted the same (btw don’t format a drive unless you’ve got all your data secure in another location)? Is the encryption turned on with the T7 Touch? You might want to reach out to Samsung if those problems persist. That sounds very frustrating. Let us know if you find a solution.

@Vinnetu 2 года назад

@@pauldittus I’m electronics engineer, and we use a lot of these SSD for one of our projects. I also have one T7 and one T5 as my own. I can compare and may to say - described problem isn't my specific. 1) T7 have no problem to store files one-by-one, but if some apps working simultaneously with many opened files, intensive cross-transferring data may ruine USB connection. 2) My SSD formatted as NTFS. 3) As I’ve said, the USB cable is important, and T7’s own cable isn't best. I recommend cables of TrippLite. 4) Yes, I have T7 Touch, but I don't think it really encrypts user data. SSD just hiding the main partition, making it “Unallocated”. Didn't trying, but I think, any partition tool can make it with all user data visible. For real encryption I recommend VeraCrypt app. 5) Also recommend to install Samsung Magican for update SSD firmware, because native utility doesn't do the work. 6) As a conclusion, T7 is still one of the best of external SSD, but I can't call it “trusted device”. So, after saving really important data will be a good practice disconnect it, reconnect again and check your files.

Hey there friend! Great question. So I actually use my SSD to edit videos and for some of my creative project files. I prefer using an external drive as it's less stress on my internal hard drive.

@pauldittus 2 года назад

Thanks so much for your kind words ❤️! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉 1. Yes, from what I understand about Thunderbolt 3 is that it can do everything a USB-C port can, and it’s faster. 20 Gbps vs 40 Gbps. Although the speed of the drive and other factors will determine the transfer speeds. 2. I’ve used it with my iPad Pro (mine is the generation before the M1 version I believe). It worked fine.

@@pauldittus Speed Test makes no sense, you're getting about the same as older Samsung T5 and Older version of SanDisk get with 550mb/s drives, what's the point of testing Samsung T7 or v2 SanDisk Extreme Pro on a machine that don't support the full potential of these drives? in fact Samsung T5 with full potential most likely would over perform Samsung T7 that is getting bottleneck by your laptop USB, so it's hard to have a conclusion with half baked results.

@@Unknown-mx7vd I agree. It was the computer I had available at the time. I’m hoping to upgrade later this year. But you are correct that it would have been better using a computer that supports the top speeds. Thank you friend 👍

@@Unknown-mx7vd because T7 and SanDisk extreme V2 need usb 3.2 . Which is not there in many PCs now a days . U wont see any difference in usb 3.1

Did you jumped completely the era of 2.5" SSD? Have you travelled in time like in "Manifest"?

@pauldittus 2 года назад

Hey Friend! Unfortunately, I haven’t seen the Manifest show. Is it any good? That said, you’re right that I didn’t cover the full spectrum. That would be neat to document the history of the HD to SSD. Thanks for sharing friend 😊

Thanks friend! Completely understand. Do you need more durability? Or do have a design preference?

@@pauldittus well, i keep hearing about some sdd not working greatly on the ipad so thats why im doing so searching to see other peoples experience. But out of these 2 the sandisk looks to be the nicer one for me.

@pauldittus 2 года назад

@@TheChameleon2008 interesting. I didn’t hear about certain SSDs performing worse than others on iPad. I did notice when I tried a speed test that it wasn’t as fast as my MacBook Pro. That said, the Sandisk would be my durability pick personally.

The usb port you used is of 5Gbps. If you wanna see the actual speed of these drives, connect them to 10Gbps USB port/thunderbolt port.

@pauldittus 2 года назад

💯 It’s true. It’s what I had at the time. I’m upgrading to the new MBP so I might redo the test with the new ports. Thanks for sharing friend 👍

@TimeLoop01 2 года назад

@@pauldittus Np. Btw, I think you can do better with the videos. For instance, when reviewing/comparing a product, it's better if the camera focus is on the product, for the majority of time. Also, you seem bit far from the camera.. it's fine if you only show yourself for like elbow height, and focus on the product, on a table infront. Didn't mean to sound arrogent/bossy, I just felt like you have the potential and room to grow as a content creator, so I thought I should share my opinion.

How long is the data shelf life on your SSD?

Hey friend 😊 I’ve been using mine regularly, and it’s been working great so far. Granted I haven’t had it that long yet. This could be an interesting read: www.backblaze.com/blog/how-reliable-are-ssds/

I have a sandisk extreme ssd however for some reason there is a glitch on macos where sometimes it doesnt see the drive when its plugged in I found a fix where you can execute the command diskutil list and it will see the ssd i dont know if the samsung t7 ssd has the same issue as i only really used it for recording footage on my iphone 15 pro

@pauldittus 3 месяца назад

So sorry to hear about that. When I was using the SanDisk I didn't experience the same glitch. Did the drive always do this? Do you know the format of your SSD? Can you move all the data off the SSD and try reformatting it? (Reminder: Formatting will remove any data that is stored on the drive so don't do it before moving any needed data)

@mervelous34 11 месяцев назад

Is Sandisk extreme good for a long term backing up, for example photos, videos, mdp, pdf etc? Most important thing for me is to have all the files safe everytime I get to use the device. 🥺

@pauldittus 11 месяцев назад

Great question my friend. First I will say I've been hesitant to recommend Sandisk SSDs recently due to people having issues with them. I personally haven't had any issues with the Sandisk that I used in the past, but something to keep in mind. For backup I would suggest considering a backup system instead of just one drive. Yes, this drive can do a fantastic job of holding a copy of data and be able to have quick read and write speeds. Most professionals recommend a 3-2-1 backup system. This is where you have 3 backups: 2 local and 1 offsite. I personally haven't gotten to this level, but I have decided to use Backblaze as a part of my backup system. I know the pain of lost files. Having a good backup system is great for preventing lost files. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
