truthfully I don't much like doing SSD unboxings anymore they're pretty much
the same as far as the thing that's inside the box and what it looks like
but I've had at least a few people asking me about SanDisk ssds for quite
some time and I was mildly curious about
whether a non sandforce based SSD would work in the Blackmagic cinema camera
that we're planning to purchase in spite of there not being any non- sandforce
based ssds on the validated list so first let's start with SanDisk ssds in
general they're not exactly um you know an Enthusiast type brand from a from a
Gamers a typical Gamers perspective you might look at SanDisk and go okay well
that's stuff that like you know camera people use whereas you know I'm going
for like ocz or whatever else but for professional users speaking of what
camera people might use they are definitely an Enthusiast grade brand so
their SD cards and compact flash cards traditionally have been among the
fastest in fact they have the fastest SD card available in terms of sustained
right speeds at the moment with black magic specifically recommending their
extreme Pro Series for raw recording on the Blackmagic pocket camera so there
you go they own Fabs which gives them the luxury of being being able to
handpick the absolute best flash for themselves this equates to both an
endurance and a performance advantage and aside from using their own flash on
here which is an advantage they're using a Marva very fast Marvel controller and
their own custom firmware to achieve performance that is at or near the top
of pretty much every performance Benchmark you can possibly find inside
the box I guess I should have mention that there's an ESD bag there's the SSD
itself it's a 7 mm SSD and it comes with a spacer so you can space it out to 9 mm
if your particular notebook supports that form factor as opposed to the
Slimmer one and I guess that's all there
is to really say about it of course you'll pay a premium for this and any
Extreme Performance I mean it says extreme like right on the box this and
any Extreme Performance SSD but whether or not it's worth the extra cost to you
these days particularly if you're coming from a hard drive which is so much
slower than even the slowest SSD is
probably open for debate if you are a professional user and you do need very
good longevity it comes with a 5year warranty and you need extreme Supreme
performance and all that stuff then I guess it's not really that debatable
you're probably going to want to go for something like this at any rate it's available in 120 gig 240 gig and 40 gig
configurations as usual this is something I should probably mention just
because nobody seems to know this you can find the pricing of pretty much
anything I unbox by checking out the pricing and availability Link in the
video description and I think that's pretty much it guys like the video if you liked it dislike
