No matter where your adventures may lead, the 1TB SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD helps you store your important footage, including large raw images and 4K video files. Featuring a tough, rugged design, this portable solid-state drive is IP68 rated for water and dust resistance in addition to withstanding up to 9.8' drops and 4000 pounds of crushing force. At the same time, the aluminum core helps to quickly dissipate heat to maintain read speeds of up to 3000 MB/s and write speeds of up to 2500 MB/s when connected to a Thunderbolt 3 compatible system — meaning that you can transfer 50GB of data in about a minute. The PRO-G40 SSD also works with USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 devices at up to 1050 MB/s and 1000 MB/s read and write speeds, respectively, making it an ideal scratch drive for high-resolution editing and rendering.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking. Available from $349.99.
Solid State Drives (SSDs) have no ongoing costs and consume minimal power. Their cost of ownership is entirely the upfront price per gigabyte.
Common Failure Modes
SSDs have no moving parts, making them immune to physical shock. Failures occur through flash memory wear-out from writing massive amounts of data or sudden controller death.
Form factor and generation interface dictate compatibility and speed. Prioritize drives with DRAM caches for OS boot drives, as DRAM-less drives can slow down significantly during heavy multitasking.
