Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. Please. How long is the 20 Gb/s USB Type-C Cable that comes in the box?

A: Unfortunately we do not have an exact spec on the length of the included cable, but from the manufacturer's images it can be inferred that the cable is approximately 1.5 ft in length.

Q: 3. Is SanDisk working with any camera manufacturer to use their PRO-BLADE SSD?

A: Currently SanDisk has not spoken of a specific camera manufacture.

Q: 4. is it suitable for normal use , I mean as an external storage with laptop or it's just for shooting ? - if yeah can I use the same storage with the dock pro 4 incase increasing in capacity?

A: The SanDisk Professional 4TB PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT could be used with a computer instead of a camera, but it is specialized for use with cameras and there are better options for a computer storage application.

Q: 5. 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: 6. Will there be 0tb ? Just the empty mag?

A: This SanDisk Professional 1TB PRO-BLADE SSD MAG drive contains a 1TB volume preformatted APFS.

Q: 7. 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: 8. The video shows the unit attached to the side of a camera. How does it attach and what attachment options are there?

A: In order to attach the SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT, B&H # SAPBT, you would need to use an attachment like the SmallRig T5/T7 SSD Mount for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, B&H # SM3272.

Q: 9. It can be used with canon r3 and r5?

A: The Canon R3 and R5 do not support SSD recording over USB, so the SanDisk Professional 8TB Professional PRO-BLADE STATION Kit with PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT SSDs (4 x 2TB) will not work.

Q: 10. Has anyone used the "Sandisk Pro Blade Transport 4TB NVMe SSDs" with Sigma FP Cameras? Any problems?

A: The SanDisk Professional 4TB PRO-BLADE SSD Mag isn't officially supported with the Sigma fp, and the camera doesn't support SSDs larger than 2TB. I recommend using the SanDisk 2TB Extreme PRO Portable SSD V2 (B&H # SAE812TB), as it's an officially tested and supported SSD.

[Aluminum] Very easy and fast. Good for video editing and storage. This is a second one I bought. Like it!

[5.425 lb] I'm really impressed with the PRO-BLADE STATION and its proprietary BLADE SSDs. It’s efficient, fast, quiet, and perfectly meets my data storage needs.


Windows 11 users will need to initialize each PRO-BLADE SSD Magazine in Disk Management initially, but once that's done and formatted, it’s good to go.


I have a 1TB BLADE for use as a cache scratch disk during graphics editing, a 4TB BLADE for backing up my C: drive, and another 4TB for additional data storage. Highly recommended.

[5.425 lb] I was looking to expand my internal memory/storage. I have an apple studio m1 ultra but didn't opt for the absurd storage upgrade to 2 or 4tb. I am a video editor/producer so I was continually shuffling files around from external drives to internal storage back to external drives. My collection of SSDs was getting out of hand so I started searching for a better solution. The SSDs I was using only read/write at around 700 to 900mbs. While this is enough to edit from, my workflow and file size started making it harder and harder. I usually edit up to 5, 6k raw files (synced) at a time. The max studio could handle the live
Render just fine, but my HD speed was the limiting factor. Cut to find this bad boy. I looked at other docking systems like the M4 but the read write speed of the pro blade AND the ability to write directly to the blades from my camera sold me. I shoot on 2 bmcc 6k pros, so the Pro Blade system was a no brained, in my opinion. It's insanely fast 2k mbs read/write speed and modular expandable memory allows me to scale and archive very easily. This has improved my work flow and speed up exporting and editing by a significant amount! I feel like I'm getting the best out of my Mac again!

Highly recommend this product, especially if you are dealing with large, RAW file sizes from a red or BM camera.

[ 3.5" HDD ] 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.

[5.425 lb] It's a great system so far and has been reliable and fast. I don't have heat or noise issues that others mentioned. I like the idea of a powered and fan-cooled station, feels more reliable than bus-powered drives. But I also like the portable housings option for on-the-go.
The station is a great way to edit up to 16TB on one thunderbolt input. The blades feel professional in the hand and you can keep lots of them in a small amount of space.

Wishes:
-Why no thunderbolt on the portable housings? Makes no sense.
-The Blades don't have caps. I'm surprised by this for a professional drive. The connections are exposed, we need a cap for these, so please release one and then start shipping them free it the blades.

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

[12 TB] I do 4K/8k raw video editing on a MacBook Pro M3 max, plugged one of these on a Usb-C port and achieve a 1Go transfer rate. I love it.

[ 3.5" HDD ] I was worried about the speed of these drives, but using them has proved me wrong. They are fast, small, and durable. I only wish they fit into the case a little more snugly. It is snug and has never fallen out, but not snug enough for my tastes. I bought another 2TB Blade and plan on buying more as my needs require.

[5.425 lb] The announcement of the Pro-Blade came precisely when I was searching for an external SDD storage for 1. speed in transfers and short edits on the go 2. lots of storage and working space and 3. simply be powered from the plug (no external powered brick). The only challenge I faced was availability as it is so new in the market.

I've had them for only 10 days or so, so far so very good! Totally silent and doesn't get hot enough to be heat packs. The only drawback is they drain a lot of power when I transcode 4K files but that is to be expected, and a minor matter of workflow adjustment, which already is a big step forward in this aspect.

[ 3.5" HDD ] I’ve been using the Blades for portable carry and desktop system and they are super fast and reliable on both. Especially on the 4-bay docking system they are so fast that they make Samsung T9 SSD or Sandisk Extreme Pro SSD appear like they are too slow for the tasks. Without any doubt, the Blade system is fastest and helps the workflow like nothing else in today’s date.
