truthfully I don't much like doing SSD unboxings anymore they're pretty much the same as far as this thing that's inside the box and what it looks like but I've had at least a few people asking me about SanDisk SSDs for quite some time and I was mildly curious about whether a nonce and force based SSD would work in the Blackmagic Cinema Camera that we're planning to purchase in spite of there not being any nonce and four-faced SSDs on the validated list so first let's start with ten disk SSDs in general they're not exactly you know an enthusiast type brand from me from a gamers a typical gamers perspective you might look at Santa's can go okay well that stuff that like you know camera people use whereas you know I'm going for like ocz or whatever else but for professional users speaking of what camera people might use they are definitely an enthusiast grade brands so their SD cards and compact flash cards traditionally have been among the fastest in fact they have the fastest SD card available in terms of sustained write speeds at the moment with Blackmagic specifically recommending their Extreme Pro Series for raw recording on the Blackmagic pocket camera so there you go they own fabs which gives them the luxury of being able to handpick the absolute best flash for themselves this equates to both an endurance and a performance advantage and aside from using their own flash on here which is an advantage they're using a Marga very fast Marvel controller and their own custom firmware to achieve performance that is at or near the top of pretty much every performance benchmark you can possibly find inside the box I guess I should have mentioned that there's an ESD bag there's the SSD that itself it's a seven millimeter SSD and it comes with a spacer so you can space it out to nine millimeters if your particular notebook supports that form factor as opposed to the slimmer one and I guess that's all there is to really say about it of course you'll pay a premium for this and any extreme performance I mean it says extreme like right on the box this and any extreme performance SSD but whether or not it's worth the extra cost to you these days particularly if you're coming from a hard drive which is so much lower than even the slowest SSD is probably open for debate if you are a professional user and you do need very good longevity it comes with a five year warranty and you need extreme supreme performance and all that stuff then I guess it's not really that debatable you're probably gonna want to go for something like this at any rate it's available in 120 gig 240 gig and 40 gig configurations as usual this is something I should probably mention just because nobody seems to know this you can find the pricing of pretty much anything I unbox by checking out the pricing and availability link and the video description I think that's pretty much it guys like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on the video if they're more complicated than this or this and as always don't forget to subscribe Linus tech tips from Ron boxing's reviews and other computer videos
