Let me understand this, you have a MacBook with thunderbolt connection, are reviewing a thunderbolt ssd drive but decide to throw up slow numbers on screen (1:43) for read/write that are reflective of usb 3.1? If you are going to review the drive for thunderbolt speed, then do so. Don't make this a confusing video of how the drive doesn't perform up to expectations. If you use a slower cable that maxes out at a lower speed, then of course you are going to get slower speeds.
Is there any way to test for SSD reliability ? Many of us need portable SSDs as a simple Time Machine or general backup solution: backup drives should prioritise data integrity over speed.
I am not aware of any way to test reliability. Yes, these drives can fail (we had a drive from a different brand fail with lots of important material on it recently). The only thing that I can suggest is having regular backups.
Yeah compability is the biggest issue with most of this new drives even the ones with 2000mb you need a usb 3.2 gen 2 2x2 or you wont see any diffrence from a 1000mb one or even less is all about the ports
i found it very hard to believe that this product wouldnt work on usb A ports. So i contacted their support team and they are saying it should work on any usb A port, as long as it provides enough power. Can you provide any details to what devices with what usb A versions you have tried to connect this product?
I don't recall what I did with this drive a year+ ago but I still have the drive and I tested it on several of my USB-A ports on my new PC and I got a massage that it doesn't work.
No. I just connected it to my desktop PC USB-C (not TB) front port and it worked fine (not talking speed just the actual connection). It depends on the port and the cable that you are using.

Excellent review sir, straight to the point and gave me all of what I needed to purchase this SSD. Thank you.

No USB A compatibility. You saved me some dough.

@@IddoGenuth thats very disappointing! I was looking forward to buy this drive. I guess i will go for the sandisk extreme pro than ...
Is This one Can be supported for USB-C to USB-A 2.0 fast charger Cable, 480Mbps speed 3A
What do you mean? you need a fast DATA cable not a power cable...
so it works on usb A?
Sandisk have upped their design - all new drives are SLICK.
no-one tests as MacOS boot drive :(
What are you talking about, who boots from an external drive?
@@IddoGenuth I do. Save internal for data files. Use x5 for this but throttles sometimes. Only suited for desktop use this way. Mac mini, Studio
@@colindoyle9876 I was not aware that this is even possible let alone that someone will even consider doing this...

This drive is useless if you don’t use a thunderbolt connection it will tell you there’s not enough power msking the drive useless
