SanDisk - Ultra 4TB Internal SSD SATA

I bought this SSD on sale at the end of 2021 and used it mainly as a game drive with some fast storage on the side. It basically maxes out the SATA connection I've had no problems with it.

Because of their reputation. I'll always go Sandisk

Early to review, as I've only had it for about a month. So far it's worked great and is super speedy compared to my analog disks. I will say it is nice to have the ability to put my 3tb apple photos folder onto one drive, the main reason I purchased it for. So if you have an application like Apple photos, this is a great drive to get. In the past, on regular HHD drives the program was slow and many times it would load so slowly I would wait for a full ten minutes before I could access my photo archive. There were also issues with the program not loading outside editors like photoshop, Luminar or 3rd party filters and effects. So far I'm pretty happy with this drive. I've been using Sandisk for many years for SD and CF cards and have never had a card fail or go corrupt, I'm hoping the reputation for reliability extends to Sandisk's SSDs as well.

I've used these for 4K production video recording for 2+ years now without any issues. Have over 60 of these in service in the 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB sizes. Typically reformat before each set of videos is loaded, so I don't know about long-term data usage. But for my purposes, these have been great.

Install went very smoothly, and so far, so good! I've logged about 20 or so hours on it with no issues, and noticed a marked increase in speeds, and decreased load times. Everything from COD WW2, to ESO, to Death Stranding. All good!!!

Great speed and good amount of storage for games. Perfect replacement for my noisy hard drive.

Quick easy install on windows 11. I did have to google how to detect it and set it up. Simple and easy. Does not include screws for mounting.

Bought to put into my PS4 PRO. Works as it should. Things are faster and smoother. Will it last as long as Samsung 870 evo? Probably not, but it was on sale for $200 cheaper. I’ll get the Samsung when this one burns up and dies.
