SanDisk Professional 2TB PRO-Blade SSD Mag - Portable & Modular NVMe SSD Mag, Ultra-Durable - SDPM1NS-002T-GBAND

Incredible, versatile, small, lightweight, fast. Great pairing for my Kondor Blue grip + hub rig for my iPhone 16 Pro filmmaking jobs.

so far so great, works well with very fast speeds, its bigger than I expected but its high quality and comes with everything needed other than the drives.

I got 3 SanDisk Pro Blade 4T and one Pro Blade Transport, totaling about $1000, because I've heard great things about them, and I needed a storage solution. I installed them fine, with no problems. I loaded them up with everything I needed backups of, and the next day, NOTHING...... No matter what I do, none of them will work. They won't show up on my disk utility, and they won't show up in Finder. Macbook M3 Pro. I get that things happen, but I really got pissed when I called Sandisk. Absolutely zero help at all. I could barely understand them, and they couldn't offer any solutions other than sending them ALL in for warranty, or I could buy another transport to see if that is what is at fault. So frustrating, I dont have the words.......I am happy to change my rating if and when I get a solution for these $1000 paperweights. Also, when I went on the SanDisk page to register them, none of the serials were recognized with Sandisk, and I purchased them from the Sandisk shop on Amazon.

I use this for encrypted (medical image) data necessary for work that I can keep separate from the computer's main storage. They are very large files and I needed a fast drive to be able to use this when working with the files. It is twice as fast as my previous external SSD solution and there is no lag. The drive does disconnect if idle for too long and I get a drive removal error but I have not had any issues beyond this. The removable media model probably adds to the expense but the thought of having multiple sticks instead of individual drives is appealing although I'm not sure it really saves much space. If you need a very fast drive with adaptable storage, this is a good solution.

I've been using my Sandic problade for about a year now and it's been awesome. I like the interchangeable storage design.I initially purchased the pro blade so I could use it with my Lumix s5m2x and record directly to an SSD but have since been using it for mass storage in general. I like being able to organize projects physically by drive. The pro blade has become my recording and mass storage systemIts a but expensive to buy into the ecosystem which is what will probably turn most people off but the convenience is worth it for me.

Bought this SanDisk pro-blade transport system... Did not get to it until after return date... IT WAS DEFECTIVE. My mistake. After some arm twisting... I received a full refund and a new pro-blade eventually. Works great!

Very reliable. I use the "Blade" for storage, and retrieving of photos while tethering a photo session. Along with a Sandisk desk top hard drive, it's my go to system.

Fast, easy. Plug and play....and move if u need. If u have the dock of course.
