I own a video production agency and typically use Samsung SSD drives for backing up footage after a shoot day. Long story short Best Buy didn't have any Samsung external SSD drives so I was forced to get this SanDisk G Drive. Attached is a screenshot. We shot 4K RAW on a Canon C300 Mkiii, a 45 min interview was about 310GB in size. Here is a screenshot of the file not copying to our server, computer or any other external drive. The file just sits there copying and doesn't move. I had a 12TB G Drive fail me in the past and swore I'd never buy a SanDisk G Drive again and due to circumstances I had to and literally the next day after buying it, here we are, with another G Drive that won't work. Save yourself the hassle and stress and buy a Seagate or a Samsung. Thankfully the file opens in Adobe Premiere so I'm stuck exporting the file as a ProRes file to the desktop.

Great product, as a video editor. I needed something that was faster than to collect footages from others. This is also great to use if you have to do a quick turnaround. But given how low the memories are it's only 2 TB. I would like for a more affordable and more TB like a 6 TB that is also not too big and works just as fast. I have a bunch of hard drives that are 4 TB and another that is 10 TB to put all over footages from previous projects for any other reason. But I do clean ups on my drives when necessary. Overall, this SSD is amazing. Although I wish it was a little faster in reading and wiring simultaneously for larger size footages so I can work better in Prmeire Pro or Davinci. This is the best one for the price. It's pretty small in size and the cord is a good in length. I will say it does overheat at times and you will need to be in a cold room for it to handle your projects if you use any editing software.

It’s a great drive, but out of the box it is formatted for Mac and cannot be read by Windows. If you intend to use this on Windows, make sure you know how to reformat, fully initialize, and properly partition a hard drive. But once it’s ready, it really is a great drive. Both USB-A and type C, fast, light, and rugged.

This is a good device. I was surprised by how fast the SSD transfers files from the Mac to SSD. Even transfers quick from my camera. Disc is super solid and fits in the palm of my hand. Perfect for on the go. Did I mention it was fast?

Excellent and fast transfers. Feels rugged and you can take this with you anywhere in your bag and virtually worry free it will be protected. Love it and may purchase a 2nd one in the future.
