SANDISK - SSD PROFESSIONAL PRO BLADE M.2 SSD TRANSPORT 2TB USB TYPE C

Veramente ben fatto, rapidissimo e comodo

Great product, I always wanted a way to carry multiple SSDs in a smaller package. Look & feel is great, build quality top notch. Speeds are amazing on Windows but unfortunately no Thunderbolt 3/4 compatibility which is a bummer for Mac users as they don’t support USB 3.2 2x2. Mac Users, keep in mind that you won’t get the max available speed on these SSD mags (yet)

Bought this SanDisk pro-blade transport system... Did not get to it until after return date... IT WAS DEFECTIVE. My mistake. After some arm twisting... I received a full refund and a new pro-blade eventually. Works great!

The blade/stick solution is certainly a clever design. After so many formats now gone, the main question is the life span and consequently availability of this format in the next several years. The desk multi-blade boxes are currently too expensive where this system may not gain enough popularity to be still offered i.e. 5 years from now. The stick/blades commend premium cost which cal also limit its market life cycle. Cost reduction and 8TB, 12TB introductions could help. Update 09/26. The 4TB mag I just received via Amazon was unsealed and appeared to be previously used. Not sure wether or not to return it.. Update 10/09/24. The SanDisk blade ecosystem could use a dual-bay reader in addition to the too expensive and too bulky 4-bay unit. A raid provision could be added as well.

I use this for encrypted (medical image) data necessary for work that I can keep separate from the computer's main storage. They are very large files and I needed a fast drive to be able to use this when working with the files. It is twice as fast as my previous external SSD solution and there is no lag. The drive does disconnect if idle for too long and I get a drive removal error but I have not had any issues beyond this. The removable media model probably adds to the expense but the thought of having multiple sticks instead of individual drives is appealing although I'm not sure it really saves much space. If you need a very fast drive with adaptable storage, this is a good solution.
