Great Drives

It's a great system so far and has been reliable and fast. I don't have heat or noise issues that others mentioned. I like the idea of a powered and fan-cooled station, feels more reliable than bus-powered drives. But I also like the portable housings option for on-the-go. The station is a great way to edit up to 16TB on one thunderbolt input. The blades feel professional in the hand and you can keep lots of them in a small amount of space. Wishes: -Why no thunderbolt on the portable housings? Makes no sense. -The Blades don't have caps. I'm surprised by this for a professional drive. The connections are exposed, we need a cap for these, so please release one and then start shipping them free it the blades.

Great potential for a modular SSD system, but...

I have no complaints about the performance and reliability so far. I originally used my 4TB SSD with the Pro-Blade Transport and liked the transfer speeds and slim form factor enough to get the Pro-Blade Station and additional P-B SSDs. I like the interchangeability of the SSD mags with the readers. My plan for data management and backups was/is to use the P-B Station at home with my desktop and the P-B Transport when on the go with my laptop. It's definitely a workable solution, but only 4 stars because of how loud the P-B Stations is. If I had known it was going to be as loud as it is, I might have looked elsewhere because you are locked in to either the Transport or the Station to work with the SSDs.

I was skeptical but...

I was worried about the speed of these drives, but using them has proved me wrong. They are fast, small, and durable. I only wish they fit into the case a little more snugly. It is snug and has never fallen out, but not snug enough for my tastes. I bought another 2TB Blade and plan on buying more as my needs require.

Great for video workflow on the go!

The announcement of the Pro-Blade came precisely when I was searching for an external SDD storage for 1. speed in transfers and short edits on the go 2. lots of storage and working space and 3. simply be powered from the plug (no external powered brick). The only challenge I faced was availability as it is so new in the market. I've had them for only 10 days or so, so far so very good! Totally silent and doesn't get hot enough to be heat packs. The only drawback is they drain a lot of power when I transcode 4K files but that is to be expected, and a minor matter of workflow adjustment, which already is a big step forward in this aspect.

I ordered the Sandisk Pro-Blade 4TB drive on July 5,2023, received it on July 7, 2023 (Good job B&H), the drive was DEAD on July 12, 2023. It lasted FIVE (5) days!!! REALLY??? What's up Sandisk and Western Digital? Further, the drive was SO HOT I could not hold it in my hand when I removed it from the Pro-Blade Station! And NO I did not even have a chance to back the drive up to the Cloud, I was just getting ready to do that when I could not access the drive! Adios Lightroom files!!!

This is a great little device and easy to use. It is highly portable and works great with a reader for the device. I also have the main hub system installed on my Mac at home. Is it any videos. Also, when I get a camera that will allow for external recording, this will be attached to the camera for quick video taking. I set a It's expensive, but easy to use!
