Designed for use as a startup drive, the 4TB 3D SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD from SanDisk provides faster system boots and helps enable faster gaming and graphics performance compared to a traditional HDD. It has a storage capacity of up to 4TB, is equipped with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, and fits into your system’s 2.5″ / 7mm drive bay. In terms of speed, this drive offers sequential write speeds of up to 530 MB/s, sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s, random writes of up to 84,000 IOPS, and random reads of up to 95,000 IOPS 3D NAND and nCache 2.0 technology.
With solid-state drive technology you benefit from load and access times for your files and programs that are faster than a conventional 7200 rpm hard drive. As SSDs have no moving parts, they are also more durable than traditional hard drives and are better protected against damage from drops and bumps. Having no moving parts also means that SSDs receive less wear and tear, as there are no read or write heads for the drive media to come into contact with. SSDs also help to deliver improved battery life and cooler operating temperatures.
SanDisk’s 4TB 3D SATA III 2.5″ Internal SSD offers their SSD Dashboard, which is available as a free download, and helps users to monitor their drive’s health. Protection is provided by a limited 3-year warranty, or an endurance rating of up to 600 Terabytes Written (TBW), whichever comes first.

Replaced a hard drive on an Inspiron All-in-One that was running extra slow. It was an easy replacement and the computer is now faster than it was when it was new.

Works really smooth once updated. 4k 60fps prores runs even better than my camera’s internal codecs

This one is on Atomos’s list of accepted drives for the Ninja V. Its a bit cheaper than the Samsung ones, so you might save yourself a penny or two with this one.

It seems that every few years I need to upgrade capacity of my SSD. I had 1TB Sandisk ultra that I replaced with 2TB and now with 4TB. Haven’t have a problem with this brand ever. I use Macrium Reflect to clone these drives, so upgrading capacity is a snap.

These are the most SSD storage for the money for professional audio use. Super fast and light.

It’s noticeably faster, but I don’t know that it’s leaps and bounds faster like the SSD I purchased to replace my C:. That one blew me away whereas this one is being used primarily to store photos and retrieve them for work in Adobe LR. I repeat, it’s quicker, just not the blink of the eye I was hoping for.

No lag, delay or errors when using this with a Ninja V external monitor and recorder. Literally no setup and it was ready to go. This can handle the footage from a Nikon Z6, 4k 422 10 bit 30fps.

I have about 10 of these that I use as scratch drivers for mobile video editing via USB 3.0 cable, and a few for my Atomos monitor and video recorder. I’ve never had one fail and I use them in Atomos Caddy’s for protection on the road.

I purchased four of these disks for an OWC Thunderbay Mini Thunderbolt 2 Enclosure. I was able to achieve the rated maximum read and write speeds of the drives.

I plugged this in to a 7i5DNFE Fanless NUC without any issues. Folks online have reported that some SSDs have trouble in these machines, including inconsistent connection across reboots, but this SanDisk 4TB SSD has been running fine for me for a couple of weeks now, including a few reboots.
