Question:
I have been using regular disc portable Drives to record video on for years. Fastest speed is usually 50-80MB per second. Which for 20 - 50Gb movies, takes too long. However, I've read that SSD Drives can write similar files in like 400-600Mb/sec! But when I have attempted to USE portable SSD (Samsung and Others) they write even slower! Like 20Mb/Sec.
What is going on and what am I doing wrong? 🤔

You need the correct port on the computer, USB 3 or preferably 3.1 and you need the right cable, USB 3.1 10gbps. Is you're using a USB 2.o port or cable it's going to be extremely slow. Also some of the portable ssds are cheap with no dram and will give you a quick burst but then get bogged down and crawl.

those are top end ssd speeds. reading will always be faster them writing. the average computer system will only have average speeds. to get those absolutely top end speeds you have to have the best of the best top end system.

Not really sure.. I'm not an expert in this area, but my two questions would be:

1) How are the external drives connected? (I'm assuming USB, but what kind? Also, were the SSDs true external drives or did you have an internal SSD in an enclosure?)

2) Which SSDs did you use? (For large files like these, DRAM might play a role? I'm really not 100% though..)

Not to sound stupid, but how do I do this exactly? Online? A phone call? In store?

Probably a dumb question, but here goes...

I just purchased a 500gb Samsung T7 for backing up family photos/videos and important digitized files. That was $80.

What's the difference between that and this? They're both SSDs.

I probably don't need that extra 500gb, but it's $10 cheaper, so if there's some significant advantage, I might make the swap.

You got an external drive that hooks up by USB. This is meant for internal but you can buy a quality external case for like $15 or less and use this but with double the space.
