A bit of a review
As we are all in a lockdown situation in the UK, I'm going to try my hand at writing a proper review.
This week I am reviewing the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD drive I have recently bought from Amazon. I use SSD's in my iMAc which sits in my study but for everyday use, I have another Mac, a 2018 MacBook Pro. As you may or may not know, this particular Mac doesn't have a direct USB connection, only USB-C types (admittedly there are four of them).
Inside the MacBook Pro is a 512GB SSD which is blindingly fast compared to the iMac. So I decided to go and invest in a small, portable SSD device to accompany the MacBook when I am out and about, especially at Sporting Events. I can set Photomechanic to copy to a second drive whilst either at the Media Centre or in the car on the way home.
Having read some reviews, it came down to a choice of two, the SanDisk or the Samsung T5. To be fair, the Samsung did appear to have some better write ups but wasn't so robust as the SanDisk. So I paid £49.99 on Amazon.co.uk for a 256GB SanDisk Extreme; a slight discount as the packaging was damaged. It arrived after some time due to the lockdown; I'm certainly not complaining though. Thank you to the delivery drivers for your work.
So opening the box, it contains the usual documentation from the supplier in about 10 different languages, the drive, the USB-C cable and USB adapter.
The drive is really pleasing on the eye and has a plastic back with a rubberised coating on the front. Only one connection at the bottom for the USB-C connector and a large ring at the top to clip onto something. I have seen some photographs with a carabiner being used; I don’t think I will be using one though.
Taking the leaflet out, the drive in all its’ glory...
Has a really comfortable and grippy surface on the front.
Here is the first negative about the drive, however, as the connecting cable is ridiculously small in length. It is only just over 4″ long so it needs to be extremely close to the computer you are using it for.
After plugging the drive into the MacBook, it is recognised straight away. A Finder window shows the software available to assist Mac and Window users. I deleted the Windows executable file (.exe) and may in the future download the recovery software, specifically for the Mac.
I used the��‘Blackmagic’ app to measure the speeds and to give you a comparison, this is the internal SSD drive of the MacBook:
and this is the result for the SanDisk:
The claimed write speed on the SanDisk was ‘up to 550MB/Sec’ so 524 isn't too far away (around 95%).
I will do some real tests over the coming days, moving some of my photo folders to and from the SSD and update you with the results.
