Pros and cons

According to our External SSD expert

• With a high write speed up to 2000MB/s, you can transfer a 2-hour HD movie to the drive in a few seconds.
• This external SSD is dustproof and shockproof so you don't have to worry about external influences.
• With a combination of password protection and hardware-based encryption, your files are doubly secured.
• The included USB-C cable is about as long as the drive itself, so it's relatively short and doesn't offer as much freedom of movement.

On my Apple Mac Studio I get a speed of about 830Mb/s and not the advertised 2,000Mb/s. This is because this speed is only achievable via USB 3.2 2x2. Thunderbolt 4 does not support this (yet). In my situation, the non Pro is just as fast.

• Compact housing

• Fast and silent (obviously)
• Gets a little warm with prolonged strenuous exercise

For my training as a system and network administrator I needed extra storage space for my virtual machines: we do need a few per course and they require a lot of storage space. I tried to put these virtual machines on a 2TB internal HDD but these virtual machines became practically unresponsive. An external HDD also offered no solution, so I opted for this SSD from Sandisk, which is the solution. Fast virtual machines, more than enough storage space to start virtualizing seriously with domains set up and so on. As a bonus, virtual machines are also mobile and you can use them on your desktop, laptop, at school... Besides this, it also works very smoothly for gaming. Games between 50GB and 100GB of storage run smoothly. the loading times are slightly longer than they are on your internal SSD, but certainly not worth worrying about. Of course, in addition to these things, this SSD is also very suitable for other data storage.

I use it for my 4K video projects,
Proxys are no longer needed, I render directly on this scandisc.
I can't say much about long-term reliability, have only been using it for a few weeks
