    I'd like to point out there is a V1 and V2 of this drive. V1 is what you have in video. V2 shell was slightly redesigned to be even harder to open without damage, probably because people kept shucking the drive and returning them empty, where an average retail store can't tell it's been opened or tampered with. V2 also uses NVME with M key rather than SATA with B key, those drives will not work in most SATA adapters. My V2 reached around 2,500mb/sec when I shucked them and put in my computer's built in PCIE M.2 slot which is far faster than USB 3.0 or SATA is capable of.
    PS please don't rip Sandisk or your retailed by shucking drives and returning empty shells. Otherwise future drives would be released with integrated USB port and not M.2 port and be un-shuckable like Western Digital portable hard drives are.

      I bought a 2TB M.2 nvme drive off Amazon back in 2017 when they were over $2000 and someone had replaced it we a Sandisk SATA M.2 drive. Just took the sticker off, placed it on the Sandisk drive and returned it.

    I just stripped mine after seeing how easy this was to do. Currently installing Windows on a server PC due to this! Thank you for the video, PS: anyone wanting to try this... there are only two strong adhesive pads on the back of the SSD stopping you from removing it. Gently remove those with a PLASTIC pick or some sort of plastic pry tool and you should be fine.

    It may be that 99% alcohol will loosen that adhesive. It looks to be double-sided foam tape, and if so, 99% alcohol is your friend. Soak it well with a couple of cotton swabs full of the stuff, then wait about 10 seconds. Then start peeling! The alcohol will not hurt the drive or other elecronics.

    So apparently it's a WD Blue SN560E, which is a bit odd as WD only seem to sell 550's and 570's at retail. The only reference I can find to an SN560 is an upcoming m.2 2230 drive. So although it looks like a "standard" 2280 m.2, it seems like this is a specific m.2 that's designed for external SSD use? Maybe low power draw or something?

    Thank you for this video! I have a 250 GB disk just like this and the connector was failing, like it only connected when plugged and twisted in a certain way. So I wanted to unmount it and see what was going on even though I have no idea of soldering anything! But I didn't know where to start until I found your video. I found out the connector was strongly attached to the board, it had to be a different thing. May the connector be a little loose inside? Well, I used some pliers to make it a bit tighter to hold the connector properly and now it works again! It's stays connected no matter what. Thanks!

      When I shucked mine from a V2 (harder to open, uses M key rather than B key), I was able to get close to 2500/sec. The older V1 topped out at 550mb/sec regardless of what connector I used (USB, SATA, etc)
      V2 is a lot harder to open without damaging the shell or even the internal. I think V2 came around when Western Digital bought out Sandisk.

    • @Vamspaz
      @Vamspaz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I tried it this week and it was a pain. It appears to be some sort of a sticky double sided tape. One bad design element in this device is that a screw connects the board to the casing and not the SSD. Unlike how we get to use a screw to fix an SSD onto a motherboard, this relies on glue/sticky tape to the logic board. When replacing the SSD, it basically just hangs off the slot in the board. Not a strong fit at all.

      @@Vamspaz You never know. Back in the 1980s, when I was an electronics engineer, someone came into my lab and picked up an IC. These were the days when a really thin track width was 250nm - today it’s 5 or 10.
      After irately telling the guy to leave my lab, I cracked the device apart (it was a ceramic DIL with a glass frit seal, and cracking the seal was an art). I popped the chip half under a light microscope and saw a brown spot that didn’t look right.
      I put it in the lab’s scanning electron microscope and quickly found the spot. It was a crater in a track that hadn’t totally severed it, but there were molten blobs around, implying static damage. The SEM had a feature called EBIC (electron beam induced current) where you could send current down specific tracks. I tried several tracks with no effect, then turned my attention to the crater. A small amount of current, the walls glowed and melted, and the track was severed. I tested the other tracks, and they were all glowing brighter. Plainly, after the failure of the track, the other tracks were having to take more load. I induced another track to fail, and then it took less load to destroy the next.
      Static doesn’t necessarily kill a device immediately, but it may start a slow chain reaction that speeds up to end in a premature catastrophic failure.
      I used to teach the importance of anti-static precautions at the European Space Agency.
      I would no more pick up a modern PCB without a tested wrist or ankle strap than I would put on a blindfold and earplugs and step on to a busy motorway.

    I use portable external drives for moving files between systems. As a result my externals are repeatedly erased and replaced with new files.
    I figure that many people use externals in a similar fashion, making the suitability of SSD for travelling temporary storage, with its measurable re-write half-life, less than ideal.
    I spent last week re-organizing my back-up mechanical external drives - some are as old as 20+ years old (even includes old IDE drives)...they're slow and cumbersome, but none had lost any data, and were ALL still accessible for "full-speed" writes even though I have lost count of how often data has been replaced. Will the same hold true for a repeatedly used transfer SSD after 5 years (let alone 20+) ??
    I'll take RW longevity over speed...

      As, I said my primary use for externals is offline file transfers to media to other systems where the drive is being repeatedly erased. So not ideal there.
      In either case, there is no usage case in my life for such a device...but I do have a closet full of 500GB and 1TB mechanical drives that I can pop into a Vantec case (of which I've also built a collection over the years).

    Hi! is it possible to buy one of these portable SSD and get the M.2 to make it my primary boot drive because they seem much cheaper than the actual M.2 selling on the market?

    • @Vamspaz
      @Vamspaz  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hi. You will need to make sure that the SSD you buy is what you expect before you buy it. If that done then yes. Tools like macrium reflect will help you with the cloning process.

      I just got the normal "portable ssd" of this and it's pretty quick. I have no idea which M.2 from SanDisk is inside, but i think it's a WD Green Version.
      I do get 563mb/s read and 489mb/s write which is pretty much the max for a SATA 3 drive.
      I'm using a Thunderbolt 3 USB C cable which still works on this drive.
