About this deal

Get peace of mind when you’re out in the world thanks to a 5-year limited warranty 3 and a forged aluminum chassis-silicon shell combo that offers a premium feel and added protection. Another thing about the flash memory is the indurance of the cell, how many times the memory cell accepts write/erase cycles until it starts to "wear" and not store anymore the information. That number is in the hundreds now days. If you read correctly the specification of an SSD drive, you will find a specification called "TBW", total bytes written. Dividing that number by the capacity of the drives yields the number of erase/write cycles that will wear the cells. We devote hundreds of hours of rigorous testing to help make sure your drive is worthy of your best work — and so you know your precious files are in good hands. L'ho provato sia su Windows sia su MacOS, con partizioni cryptate o no. Nel mio caso il collo di bottiglia è evidentemente le porte USB obsolete. From SanDisk, the brand professional photographers worldwide trust to handle their best shots and footage.

Save time storing and transferring data with the forged aluminum chassis that also acts as a heatsink to deliver higher sustained speeds. Given that the drive is HFS+ formatted out of the box, you will have to reformat the G-Drive to use it with Windows 10, which implies a detour via Computer Management to launch Disk Management and create the partition. Once that was done, we managed to reach a real life performance (moving a single 10GB file using Windows Explorer) of just under 400MBps while various benchmarks (AJA, CDM, ATTO and AS SSD) show that the write speeds ranged between 947 and 1041MBps while the read speeds reached up to 1064. Not bad at all. Flash memory based drives have now implemented a special "wear" algorithm, such that new data is written on cells that are not progammed with data, and so files are moved continuosly across the drive to mentain a balance of erase/program for all the cells, otherwise if a file is continuously written and modified on the same memory cells, these will wear after those few hundred of cycles and not be able to be used anymore. That is why a worn out SSD drive, that has reached a TBW spec, will not retain the information for long. You do get a five year warranty with it but you will have to send the defective drive to Sandisk at your own expense. It is worth noting that if you use a data recovery service, you will not void an otherwise valid limited warranty as long as you get a written verification from the service provider. The competition

Integrating WD’s Blue SN550E and leveraging BiCS4 TLC flash, the SanDisk Extreme offers responsive performance in a secure and portable package.

Get powerful NVMe™ solid state performance featuring 2000MB/s 2 read/write speeds in a portable drive that’s reliable enough to take on any adventure. Was mich jedoch wirklich fasziniert hat, ist die immense Speicherkapazität von 4TB. Das ist eine wahre Fundgrube für jeden, der große Mengen an Daten, Fotos, Videos oder Projekten speichern möchte. Als Fotograf war ich besonders gespannt darauf, wie gut die SSD mit meiner wachsenden Sammlung hochauflösender Bilder umgehen würde. In a thread about 4TB Extreme Pro drives in a film and video editors subreddit, a Reddit user called ian__ wrote: Neither the name of the University of California, Berkeley nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

The SSD controller and the NAND Flash memory used are unknown; however, we’d assume that it shares some DNA with the SN530, Western Digital’s entry level NVMe platform. Ars Technica's Lee Hutchinson confirmed suffering not one, but two 2TB Extreme Pros dying. After filling about halfway, each drive met a slew of read and write errors. When he disconnected and reconnected the SSD, it showed it was unformatted with the drive completely wiped, including its file system. Wiping and reformatting didn't help, and this happened with two different units.We’re looking for 2TB superfast, extremely rugged, IP67+ rated external solid state drives. That disqualifies the likes of the popular Samsung T7 Touch which is not waterproof. Multiple DITs/Loaders/ACs on both coasts have experienced the exact same failure with these drives over the last month.The symptom seems to be that after a sustained write they will completely lose their filesystem and it's a total crap shoot [whether] you can recover it or not. The primary way you will see this is that the drive will unmount and you will not be able to get it to mount again, despite showing up in Disk Utility. You can sometimes recover it using DiskDrill's filesystem rebuild, but occasionally that does nothing. It persists with any filesystem type. Hard drives based on magnetic retention of data are better in this respect, since the retention time is greater if the device is kept properly.

Overall though, if you discard the far cheaper alternatives from lesser known vendors, there’s little incentive for Sandisk to drop the price of the G-Drive further. That is particularly true given the presence of the speedier and far more expensive G-Drive Pro SSD which carries a 50% premium and a near-200% improvement in speed thanks to its Thunderbolt 3 interface. Ruggedized design with a forged aluminum body to protect the SSD core and dissipate heat. Plus, a durable silicon rubber coating seeks to deliver higher impact resistance with its IP55 rating for water and dust resistance. 1

Thank you!

Creative professionals know the value of storage space. With capacities of up to 2TB, 5 you’ll have enough room for the files you need to work on or deliver. Die Leistung der Sandisk Extreme Portable SSD hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Datenübertragung erfolgte blitzschnell, was bei der Bearbeitung und Übertragung großer Dateien äußerst vorteilhaft ist. Die integrierte 256-Bit-AES-Verschlüsselung verleiht mir zudem ein Gefühl der Sicherheit, wenn ich sensible Daten darauf speichere. Get extra peace of mind with a 5-year limited warranty 3 and a durable silicon shell that offers a premium feel and added protection to the drive’s exterior.
