Vratislav Holub Technology has absolutely changed the way we access our data. For example, we no longer download movies and share them with friends on so-called flash drives, but instead play them directly online from the Internet. Thanks to this, we can save a huge amount of disk space. On the other hand, it is necessary to keep in mind that in order to record a proper video with high-quality sound, it is still necessary to have a disc of some kind. If you're into photography or videography yourself, then you probably know that no drive is ever fast enough or big enough. On the other hand, this can be solved by using a high-quality SSD disk. Popular a SanDisk brand now brings rather interesting solutions, which we will now look at together.
SanDisk Professional SSD PRO-G40
Of course, a high-quality SSD drive is key not only for video creators, but also for photographers and other creatives. People "from the field" who, for example, create content while traveling and need to store it somehow, know about it. In this case, every millimeter of size and gram of weight counts. In this direction, he offers himself as an interesting candidate SanDisk Professional SSD PRO-G40. This is because it is smaller than an ordinary smartphone, has resistance to dust and water according to the degree of protection IP68, protection against falling from a height of up to three meters and resistance against crushing by weights of up to 1800 kilograms. Of course, speed is very important for him.
At first glance, it can impress with its dimensions. It measures 110 x 58 x 12 millimeters and weighs only 130 grams, including the short cable. It does not lack capacity either - it is available in a version with 1TB or 2TB storage. As we mentioned above, transfer speeds are key. When connected via the Thunderbolt 3 interface, up to 2700 MB / s for reading and 1900 MB / s for writing data. But if we are not working with a newer Mac, we will use compatibility with USB 3.2. Although the speed is lower, it is still worth it. It reaches 1050 MB/s for reading and 1000 MB/s for writing. We must not forget to mention the USB-C interface, which can be used to connect the drive to some cameras.
SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD
But content creators don't always have to travel. Many of them commute, for example, between the studio, city locations, office and home. That is why it is important for them to always have all their necessary material at hand, which is hidden in ones and zeros. SanDisk was inspired by the world of memory cards for these cases. So why not reduce the size of the SSD disk to the absolutely necessary minimum so that it can then be inserted into the appropriate reader as with the mentioned memory cards? It was created with this idea in mind SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD.
The PRO-BLADE system consists of two key components: Data carriers - portable minimized SSD disks - cassettes PRO-BLADE SSD Mag and "readers" - chassis PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT. Measuring just 110 x 28 x 7,5mm, PRO-BLADE SSD Mag cases are currently produced in capacities 1, 2 or 4 TB. The PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT chassis with a single cartridge slot connects via USB-C (20GB/s), while this build achieves read and write speed up to 2 MB/s.

Finally, let's summarize the very idea of the PRO-BLADE system. The basic philosophy is quite simple. Whether you're at home, in the office, in the study, or somewhere else entirely, you'll have one PRO-BLADE TRANSPORT chassis to have another in the studio, for example. All you have to do is transfer the data between them in the minimized PRO-BLADE SSD Mag cartridges. This saves even more space and weight.
