Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will the SmallRig T5/T7 SSD Mount for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro be able to hold the SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT?

A: We recommend using the following more universal mounting solution from Smallrig. The T5/T7 will only work with Samsung T7 and T5 drives. SmallRig Universal Power Bank Holder BH #SM2790 https://bhpho.to/3CdJHsz

Q: 2. Is it compatible with macOS Monterey to back up time machine?

A: Yes. The SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD V2 is compatible with Mac OS.

Q: 3. To clarify the question, the data connection is labeled as 20 Gb/sec but it is not specified if this is a USB4 connection (which is supported by Macs -- and the APFS pre-formatting indicates this is aimed at Mac users) or USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (which is NOT supported by even USB4-equipped Macs). USB-C is only the physical connector and USB 3.2 is split between multiple data rates with patchy compatibility, so the staff answer to my question isn't specific enough about compatibility. Will the new USB4-equipped Macs will be able to use the 20 Gb/sec speeds advertised or will they be limited to the 10 Gb/sec of a years-old standard?

A: This SanDisk Professional Pro-Blade Transport uses USB 3.2 x2 for its host connection, not a USB 4 connection.

Q: 4. Is anyone actually getting 2gbps from these when transferring footage to a Mac Studio using Thunderbolt 3/4 cables?

A: The SanDisk Professional 2TB PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host connection, which is not supported on Macs. While connected to a Mac, the SSD will fall back to a single-lane USB 3.2 Gen 2 connection, which has a maximum data connection speed of 10 Gb/s.

Q: 5. Does this support USB4 or will it be limited to USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds on Macs (which to my knowledge do not support USB 3.2 Gen 2x2)?

A: While the SanDisk Professional 4TB PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT can connect with a USB-C port, the speed will only be at USB 3.2 speeds.

Q: 6. Can this be used on both Mac and PC without formatting?

A: This unit comes preformatted for PC but you can format it for Mac easily through Disk Utility.

Q: 7. Will this fit in the pro dock 4? It seems to be about the same form factor.

A: The Transport is not compatible with the Dock.

Q: 8. Will the SanDisk Pro 2TB PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT work connected with Sony DSC RX10IV Camera?

A: No, the Sony DSC RX10IV does not support recording to an SSD over USB, so the SanDisk Professional 2TB PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT will not work connected to the camera.

Q: 9. Which camera models support direct-to-device recording? Any with a USB-C port? Various online sources list this capability.

A: Right now the main models with USB-C SSD drive support are the Black Magic Pocket 4k,6k models. Black Magic URSA Broadcast and URSA 4.6k G2, Zcam cameras, Sigma FP.

Q: 10. Can I plug in my iPhone and excess the images on the ssd drive

A: The SanDisk E30 Portable SSD is not intended for use with iPhones or other mobile devices. It is only recommended for use with computers.

[ PCIe SSD ] I'm finding the PRO-BLADE STATION with it's proprietary BLADEs impressive. It's efficient, speedy, quiet and meets my data storage requirements. For Windows 11 users, you'll need to initialize each PRO-Blade SSD Magazine in Disk Management at first. Once set up and formatted, you're all set. I own a 1TB BLADE and use it as my cache scratch disk during graphics editing, a 4TB as a backup disk to my C: system drive and a second 4TB for data. Recommended. 5

[Plastic] This is an ingenious system, fast SSD drives, integrated into a top handle with the Kondor Blue Pro blade system. 5

[7.2 x 4.6 x 2"] I use that disk as Time Machine for my Mac Pro. It Work very well 5

[ PCIe SSD ] Only complaint is that the blades/drives that fit inside could fit more snugly. They have never fallen out, but it worries me a bit. These are fast and the fact that I can carry multiple blades/drives and slot them in is fantastic. 5

[ PCIe SSD ] So far drive is amazing and works perfect - I am using it with Serrato and music and music videos - B&H staff was excellent - only one thing I would like to see , a cord that is a little longer, and I like would like it to be in some kind of rubber case around it , so it appears to be a little more impact resistant from just daily life - also would love to see one in 8TB - as of todays writing 100% happy 5

[ PCIe SSD ] Recently purchased a Blade SSD and the mobile transport. Was so impressed I purchased a few more, plus the desktop pro reader, and sold all my unopened Samsung T7 Shield SSD’s. Those are good and slightly less expensive, but these Sandisk Blades are incredibly fast at reading and writing and the tiny form factor makes storing a pile of them much more space efficient. I just hope they decide to make the “sale” price the permanent price. At around $300 for a 4TB SSD they are a bargain. Time is money, too. What used to take a few minutes to archive is now down to several seconds. Over the course of a day that makes a difference. 5

[ PCIe SSD ] I work in the Seafood Industry, and I used my 1TB Drive all the time over the past 3 years, the only problem I have had is with the cable, which was easily replaced. More recently I left my drive in the pocket of my jeans, and it went through the wash, after 45 minutes in the heavy wash cycle, I thought I had lost all my data, but after allowing it to dry for 24 hours it still works fine! I think I will have to get another one as a backup but will continue using it until it dies. Absolutely great product! 5

[1 TB] This is exactly what I was looking for to increase my speed over my previous Thunderbolt HD RAID. I spread my photo storage across the 4 SSD units and have my main catalog on my MacBook Pro. Lightroom runs super quick this way. I use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup the 4 SSDs back to my Thunderbolt RAID for redundancy. Also, have the Transport is convenient for taking just part of my library on the go. 5

[7.2 x 4.6 x 2"] After more then 11 years, we were able to replace out QNAP NAS box for a more cost efficient and fast storage solution. This 4TB Mag gave us the storage we need and the expansion we are looking for for future use. 5
