Samsung T7 vs Sandisk Extreme Pro | My Best SSDs For Video Editing

[@petesig93]

I bought the Samsung T7 2tb. No problems, working fine and very compact.

I have the SanDisk Extreme Pro 4TB and have had issues with it deleting files or unmounting from the computer. Have you had this issue?

[@CreativeTechLab]

No I haven’t had that issue. But I have heard there’s a batch of larger drives that may have some issues. So if they persist, I would reach out to Sandisk for a replacement

[@Gerald_G]

Very well-done comparison. I’m looking forward to your results of the new Samsung drive. Thx!

[@xnoelle25]

Sandisk Extreme Pro has failure issues, unfortunately. I was about to buy one since there's a great sale but there are tons of articles on the reliability right now. guess that's why

[@CreativeTechLab]

Hi there’s been recent articles about this. However, all the ones I’ve seen have been specific to the 4TB versions. But if you’re concerned get the Samsung it’s great

[@horsedesigns]

Yes, I had one fail on me.

[@jo.da.6240]

My brand new Samsung T7 writes 36 mbit/s, it is painfully slow. I just formatted to APFS. Very confused on what's going on. It's the second I bought, the last one got stuck at formatting forever. Could be bad luck but seems faulty to me...

[@CreativeTechLab]

That’s strange. I have a few T7’s and I’ve never had either of those experiences. I’d definitely reach out to your retailer for a replacement

[@jo.da.6240]

​@@CreativeTechLab I did. He couldn't explain it either. I decided to exchange it to a SanDisk 2TB, I have several of them they never failed me. Still, really strange that the 1st one didn't want to format at all and the 2nd one only had 36 mb/s. I used a 4TB T7 from a friend recently which worked great, which is why I wanted to get one. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the M1 specifically or if 4TB SSDs are more prone to having issues but no idea.

Heya! Thank you so much for the video! Liked and subscribed almost immediately. Haha. I actually have 2 questions if you'd be kind enough and have some time to answer them: 1. Can I transfer my footage from the camera into the SSD and edit the footages there with either Finalcut or Davinci? Assuming that creating proxies from said programs would also be automatically stored in the SSD (i.e., with the original file location) 2. Can I edit 4K 120p 10 bit 4.2.2 files with this method?

[@CreativeTechLab]

Hi thanks for watching. Yes you can edit directly off the drive. Whether or not you need proxies, will be determined by how fast your computer is. I edit 4K 120p from the Sony A7siii just fine. But again this has more to do with your computer. These drives are fast enough to handle most files.

[@shaunashleychin]

@@CreativeTechLab Thank you so much for your reply! Yea I recently bought the Sony A7siii as well but what I didn't realise is the space required. My laptop is old so I can't just edit the footage as per usual so I have to create proxies. But then thats the next problem....not enough disk space. Haha.

[@classictrios8896]

Which one is faster for gaming load times?

[@CreativeTechLab]

I’ve never used them for gaming. In the test I did the SanDisk came out slightly faster read/write speeds. But I think you’d be good with either one.

[@whizz6841]

Hey I'm kinda stuck and i need guidance from true long term experience! I'm seeing multiple negative reviews about SanDisk Extreme SSDs failing and stuff like that but Samsung T7 reviews seems to be the least negative. Please someone help me with what i should go for!

[@CreativeTechLab]

Hey I'm kinda late. I have a few Sandisk drives and I've personally never have one fail I have seen those reports you're referring to. But I believe it was a problem with a specific bacth. And it was larger drives, 4TB if I'm not mistaken. I also have a bunch of Samsung SSDs. t5, t7, and now t9. They've all been great as well. So if you're concerned just get a Samsung. There's not wrong answer.

[@thealignmentor]

I just orderd 2 tb Pro version of sandisk...Hopefully it doesn't heart the way it hurts reading the comments..

[@CreativeTechLab]

🙏🏾

[@junaidrafiq1368]

Which one would be perfect to me for daily data usage... My fones storage is almost full... N laptop too........ I am not a heavy user... I will use this ssd for long term data storage... Now can u plz suggest me... ❣️🤷‍♂️

[@CreativeTechLab]

I've honestly used both brands over the years. If I had to choose just one I'd pick Samsung. But there's no bad choice here.

[@junaidrafiq1368]

@@CreativeTechLab now I'll go for Samsung's t7 buddey.... Just becoz of u.... I was confused between sandisk n Samsung SSDs ... Now I'll go with ur suggested ssd.... ❣️😇....

[@Gega-wj2ry]

Hi my friend! I have a macbook pro 14 inch m2 and i want to buy an external ssd to edit my videos in 4k 60 fps.. I need a reliable ssd to edit my videos . Which one would you recommend to me?

[@CreativeTechLab]

I use both the drives. I tend to favor the Samsung.

[@Gega-wj2ry]

@@CreativeTechLab Thank you. Have a nice day.

[@terezacervinkova7723]

sorry but half of the time in your video, you are talking about the looks of the drive that everyone can see that is obviously but not the technical point if it actually will drive support Macbook Pro or any other technical information. Unfollow for me.

[@CreativeTechLab]

Were "following" to begin with?

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

hi there.Hi there. I got a Sandisk Extreme Portable V2 (not the Pro but still very fast) which gives me 950Mbps! but it gets TOO Hot while editing 4k...I dont like how hot it gets...is this Samsung T7 better controlling heat? or it also get very hot while editing? Pls share your experience. Thanks

[@CreativeTechLab]

I’ve never had a issue with heat for either drive.

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

@@CreativeTechLab hmmm....my sandisk gets very hot. Maybe you edit short videos. I may try the Samsung this time. Thanks!

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

@@beed4444 I got a SamsungT7 and I can say that it doesnt get as HOT as the Sandisk...so I will use the Samsung 2TB for editing from now on and keep the Sandisk for other uses. Both are very fast and great for 4k. Thanks

[@dronephotogeek]

Sandisk gets hotter and heat is the enemy period

[@CreativeTechLab]

That's not always the case with my units. But I Samsung is a great choice.

[@lebendesam]
