Product Information

Co BIY said:How often does an external SSD drive need to be powered up or plugged in to maintain the data ? There are plenty of external storage solutions out in the market, but very few of them will be as durable as the Extreme Pro Portable SSD. It’s got great transfer speeds to keep you going, plenty of storage, and comes in a variety of storage sizes. nofanneeded said:This is not true , because the internal hardware of TB3 drives tested does not match ... If you want the best out of TB3 , you should get an empty TB3 box and put the best NVME SSD inside it. Up to stated speeds. Based on internal testing; performance may be lower depending on host device, interface, usage conditions and other factors. 1MB=1,000,000 bytes. A footnote about the branding. G-Tech (from which G-Drive is derived) started life as part of HGST, which was acquired by Western Digital. G-Tech survived as a rival to Seagate’s LaCie, supplying rugged, external, reliable storage devices and accessories to outdoor enthusiasts, prosumers and professionals. With the recent launch of Sandisk Professional, it is likely that G-Tech and G-Drive will be sunsetted in the near future.

We’re looking for 2TB superfast, extremely rugged, IP67+ rated external solid state drives. That disqualifies the likes of the popular Samsung T7 Touch which is not waterproof.

Ruggedized design with a forged aluminum body to protect the SSD core and dissipate heat. Plus, a durable silicon rubber coating seeks to deliver higher impact resistance with its IP55 rating for water and dust resistance. 1 With the USB 20 Gbps link, the drive even outperformed the Thunderbolt 3 competition under various workloads

Can you please gather the best NVME external boxes in the market and test them with something like Samsung 970 Evo Plus or 970 pro ? make a round up ? and see if they reach 3000MB/s ??? Select “Search automatically for updated driver software” in the pop-up window. This will update the device drivers automatically. The Extreme PRO® SSD works with PCs and Mac™ computers right out of the box and connects with USB Type C and Type A, 3 making it easy to start and keep working in almost any situation.There is an Anandtech article that discusses findings that a worn out drive (at the end of its endurance rating) can lose data much faster depending on temperature: https://www.anandtech.com/show/9248/the-truth-about-ssd-data-retention nofanneeded said:TB3 is more popular then USB 3.2 2x2 which is impossible to find in notebook and very rare in Desktops. Missing SSD partition can also result in SanDisk SSD not detected. In this case, you can upgrade to AOMEI Partition Assistant Professional and use the Partition Recovery Wizard to recover lost partitions. Wrapping things up Given that the drive is HFS+ formatted out of the box, you will have to reformat the G-Drive to use it with Windows 10, which implies a detour via Computer Management to launch Disk Management and create the partition. Once that was done, we managed to reach a real life performance (moving a single 10GB file using Windows Explorer) of just under 400MBps while various benchmarks (AJA, CDM, ATTO and AS SSD) show that the write speeds ranged between 947 and 1041MBps while the read speeds reached up to 1064. Not bad at all. Tips: Smaller cluster size makes less wasting of disk space. It is recommended that you use the default size if you don't know which one is better.

Get peace of mind when you’re out in the world thanks to a 5-year limited warranty 3 and a forged aluminum chassis-silicon shell combo that offers a premium feel and added protection. Up to three-meter drop protection and IP65 water and dust resistance 5 mean this durable drive can take a beating.
