ProGrade Digital PG10 Reviews

Plug and Play Powerful SSD

By Asuquo
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-27

I got the 8TB version because I needed it to edit an hour and 20 minutes documentary on Final Cut Pro. The SSD performance very well and was impressed with how fast it was with no sound of noise and surprised that something this small doesn't need to be powered to electricity, just simply a plug and play device. A little pricy but gets the job done and fast.
