Upon acquiring this storage device with the express intent of housing my collection of PC games, I observed that the process of game installation proved somewhat protracted. However, I am heartened by the fact that this is a one-time undertaking, and I am suitably impressed by the swiftness with which games can be loaded thereafter. That being said, I must acknowledge that the price point of this device is, perhaps, a bit on the steep side.
I bought this when it was on offer for 95, as I’d recently also gotten an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and wanted to make full use of the video recording capabilities.
For the purpose I bought it for, it performs fantastically. It’s even fast enough for me to reliably scrub through footage in Davinci Resolve Studio on my Macbook Pro without having to move the footage off of the drive.
I’d recommend it even as a general external storage drive, but if you’re looking for something specifically for video recording, this is ideal as the port on the iPhone 15 Pro Max provides enough power for the drive.
Best thing I have bought since the iPhone 15 pro max.
This is a very small unit approx 5 x 6.5cm – which is amazing for a 1TB capacity. Others have commented on the short cable which comes with it – and yes, it is very short, but just long enough to reach from the back of the iMac to my desk. The cable plugged straight into the back of my Mac with no adaptor needed.
It is not as fast as I expected but fast enough. Its ultra-portability is the main benefit. It backs up my PC daily and I can always walk away with the latest information for use elsewhere. I hate trusting the cloud, this solves that problem.
I initially ordered the Sandisk Extreme 2TB drive, but when I tried to transfer a folder containing 1.3 TB to it, the speed was OK, but within a few minutes the drive got extremely hot (but continued working ok) but then after 2 hours it disconnected itself completely halfway through the transfer.
I then Googled the problem and saw that some other users had experienced the same thing, so I ordered the Crucial X9 Pro instead.
During the transfer of the same 1.3 TB folder, the X9 just got mildly warm to the touch, and completed the job without a problem.
I also have older Samsung T7 drives, which have never given a problem and transferred the same folder without difficulty, albeit about 20% slower than the Crucial, and running a little bit warmer.
The speed of both the Sandisk and Crucial were about the same: the long transfer time was due to the 15 year old hard drive they were transferring from.
And although the Sandisk started working again when I clicked on it after the self-disconnection, I didn’t want the stress of wondering if it would conplete a big transfer overnight without me sitting watching it. So the Sandisk Extreme has gone back and I’ll stick with the Crucial. In fact have ordered a couple more because I have so many historic files to preserve for prosperity. I’ve also tried some heavy duty 4k video editing with the Crucial and it works fine: again staying just slightly warm to the touch.
