seanwebster said:At that point you wouldn't be testing the actual portable SSDs as they are, you would just be testing the performance of the internal SSDs in that one enclosure. Thus, comparing just the underlying storage alone. You can't compare the performance or thermal characteristics of these portable SSDs without using the default enclosures and bridge chips. We’re looking for 2TB superfast, extremely rugged, IP67+ rated external solid state drives. That disqualifies the likes of the popular Samsung T7 Touch which is not waterproof. Select a new drive letter in the pop-up window. You can choose whichever drive letter you like except the ones that are occupied by other drives. There are plenty of external storage solutions out in the market, but very few of them will be as durable as the Extreme Pro Portable SSD. It’s got great transfer speeds to keep you going, plenty of storage, and comes in a variety of storage sizes. SanDisk provides a generous five-year warranty, which we have also seen on other Western Digital products such as the 2020 version of the My Passport SSD. (WD is SanDisk's parent company.)

The SSD controller and the NAND Flash memory used are unknown; however, we’d assume that it shares some DNA with the SN530, Western Digital’s entry level NVMe platform. Another thing about the flash memory is the indurance of the cell, how many times the memory cell accepts write/erase cycles until it starts to "wear" and not store anymore the information. That number is in the hundreds now days. If you read correctly the specification of an SSD drive, you will find a specification called "TBW", total bytes written. Dividing that number by the capacity of the drives yields the number of erase/write cycles that will wear the cells. Tips: Smaller cluster size makes less wasting of disk space. It is recommended that you use the default size if you don't know which one is better. Die SanDisk 1 TB SSD ist zweifellos ein bemerkenswertes Speichergerät, das sowohl Leistung als auch Tragbarkeit in sich vereint. Hier sind einige Gründe, warum ich diese SSD mit fünf Sternen bewerte:We devote hundreds of hours of rigorous testing to help make sure your drive is worthy of your best work — and so you know your precious files are in good hands. The SanDisk Extreme Pro V2 supports the latest and fastest USB flavor (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, also called SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps), which offers transfer speeds of up to 2,000MBps for both read and write when connected to a compatible USB-C port. It tested just short of that (1,909MBps read, 1,919MBps write) in our Crystal DiskMark 6.0 sequential read and write testing. Its scores were also a smidge under the speeds we recently saw from the Seagate FireCuda Gaming SSD (1,992MBps read, 1,967MBps write), which supports the same 2x2 interface. (See how we test SSDs.) Da ich bereits gute Erfahrungen mit verschiedenen SanDisk Speichermedien sammeln konnte habe ich mich für diese Festplatte entschieden. Warum ich nicht die schnellere Version gewählt habe kann man oben im Text lesen falls es interessiert.

Flash memory based drives have now implemented a special "wear" algorithm, such that new data is written on cells that are not progammed with data, and so files are moved continuosly across the drive to mentain a balance of erase/program for all the cells, otherwise if a file is continuously written and modified on the same memory cells, these will wear after those few hundred of cycles and not be able to be used anymore. That is why a worn out SSD drive, that has reached a TBW spec, will not retain the information for long. Hier verstehe ich den Nutzen nicht wirklich. Mir ist NICHT wichtig wie schnell eine Festplatte arbeiten KÖNNTE, sondern wie schnell sie an meinen Geräten arbeitet. Ich habe einen 4,7GB großen Ordner vom Tablet (iPad Air 5) auf die Platte übertragen und dies in ca. 10 Sekunden. Not sure what I'm not getting here. My SSD plus doesn't show up at start up in BIOS. Once Windows 10 is running it shows up in Explorer, Disk Management, etc. Can access it, etc. No problems, but I want to use it as my boot drive so BIOS not seeing it presents certain problems. Also not a cable/connection problem. So what am I doing wrong? Thanks!” Given that the drive is HFS+ formatted out of the box, you will have to reformat the G-Drive to use it with Windows 10, which implies a detour via Computer Management to launch Disk Management and create the partition. Once that was done, we managed to reach a real life performance (moving a single 10GB file using Windows Explorer) of just under 400MBps while various benchmarks (AJA, CDM, ATTO and AS SSD) show that the write speeds ranged between 947 and 1041MBps while the read speeds reached up to 1064. Not bad at all.I recently bought a new SSD (SanDisk Ultra Plus) to install on my Asus P7P55D motherboard. Both the BOIS and Win7 detect the drive (it shows up under Disk Drives of Device Manager) but it does not show up under My Computer. The option to install Win7 on the new drive does not show up either when I put in the upgrade CD.” How to fix "SanDisk SSD not showing up" in Windows 11/10/8/7 efficiently? Restart your computer and press the F2 key or any key according to your PC to enter BIOS interface.
