00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:19.920
truthfully I don't much like doing SSD unboxings anymore they're pretty much

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.480
the same as far as the thing that's inside the box and what it looks like

00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:30.039
but I've had at least a few people asking me about SanDisk ssds for quite

00:00:26.599 --> 00:00:32.640
some time and I was mildly curious about

00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:36.960
whether a non sandforce based SSD would work in the Blackmagic cinema camera

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:41.920
that we're planning to purchase in spite of there not being any non- sandforce

00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:46.960
based ssds on the validated list so first let's start with SanDisk ssds in

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:52.000
general they're not exactly um you know an Enthusiast type brand from a from a

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:55.719
Gamers a typical Gamers perspective you might look at SanDisk and go okay well

00:00:53.559 --> 00:01:00.519
that's stuff that like you know camera people use whereas you know I'm going

00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:04.479
for like ocz or whatever else but for professional users speaking of what

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:10.159
camera people might use they are definitely an Enthusiast grade brand so

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:14.439
their SD cards and compact flash cards traditionally have been among the

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.759
fastest in fact they have the fastest SD card available in terms of sustained

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:23.759
right speeds at the moment with black magic specifically recommending their

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:29.119
extreme Pro Series for raw recording on the Blackmagic pocket camera so there

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.840
you go they own Fabs which gives them the luxury of being being able to

00:01:30.520 --> 00:01:37.439
handpick the absolute best flash for themselves this equates to both an

00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:41.799
endurance and a performance advantage and aside from using their own flash on

00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:46.320
here which is an advantage they're using a Marva very fast Marvel controller and

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:50.920
their own custom firmware to achieve performance that is at or near the top

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:54.200
of pretty much every performance Benchmark you can possibly find inside

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.439
the box I guess I should have mention that there's an ESD bag there's the SSD

00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.840
itself it's a 7 mm SSD and it comes with a spacer so you can space it out to 9 mm

00:02:01.399 --> 00:02:08.640
if your particular notebook supports that form factor as opposed to the

00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:10.280
Slimmer one and I guess that's all there

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.959
is to really say about it of course you'll pay a premium for this and any

00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:20.040
Extreme Performance I mean it says extreme like right on the box this and

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:24.120
any Extreme Performance SSD but whether or not it's worth the extra cost to you

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:29.160
these days particularly if you're coming from a hard drive which is so much

00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:31.120
slower than even the slowest SSD is

00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:35.959
probably open for debate if you are a professional user and you do need very

00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:41.000
good longevity it comes with a 5year warranty and you need extreme Supreme

00:02:38.519 --> 00:02:43.560
performance and all that stuff then I guess it's not really that debatable

00:02:42.440 --> 00:02:49.560
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

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:53.280
configurations as usual this is something I should probably mention just

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:57.879
because nobody seems to know this you can find the pricing of pretty much

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:00.480
anything I unbox by checking out the pricing and availability Link in the

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:04.560
video description and I think that's pretty much it guys like the video if you liked it dislike

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:08.239
it if you disliked it leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on the

00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:11.680
video if they're more complicated than this or this and as always don't forget
