Thanks for the well documented explanation, you saved us a massive amount of headaches, we all need to be sharing information about known issues.
Glad the video helped you:)
Great timing and the heads up is really appreciated!! I was planning on going into Best Buy tomorrow to purchase an SSD for my iPad Pro.
Glad to have helped.
Right?! It was in my basket, thankfully CZcams knew I watched a different video and made sure to help me out. Saw this in my recommendations.
I have a Samsung t7 using the usbc to my iPad Pro m1 12.9 using LumaFusion. I had no issues with my footage from my gh5 4k 60 and 4k 30. Totally recommend.
Do you use your ssd to copy your videos to the ipad, or do you edit the files that are on your ssd?
I just got one today and I’m shocked that there is no software app. Do you just drag and drop all your media?
Hey i wanna ask how do u bypass the samsung security
I use a Samsung T7 (500 MB) that I got from Best Buy with my iPad Mini 5. No problems that I've noted with battery drain or over heating.
does t7 work with Air 5th gen? any idea?
@@user-gz5ss4ff4l don't know. I only had the Mini
Thanks for posting! I was thinking about getting a Sandisk External SSD and I already have a Samsung T5 :)
My experience with Sandisk... sd cards usb drives etc are known to run very hot even if you plug them onto PCs. I tend to avoid sandisk products most of the time except for their dash cams sd cards.
I see that you answer recent comments even though your video is more than a year old, thanks for that. I recently bought a T7 for my 2018 iPad Pro, it does get hot, perhaps not as bad as you mention in the video with the SanDisk, but I have a different issue. I formatted the T7 to APFS. I have some jpg photos in it, and they seem to be fine for a while, I can preview them, see the thumbnails, etc with the Files App. Then, after unplugging the drive today and plugging it back later, I can't preview or open the photos. The files are there, but I can't open them. If I connect the T7 to my iMac they are all good. I can open them with no problems. I don't know why all of a sudden they stopped working with my iPad.
This is the second time this happens. The first time a couple of weeks ago (it was brand new) I reformatted it and all was good until today.
Very disappointed. What are your thoughts on this?
Did you try to force close the files app? I have had this happen to me in the past and believe that fixed it. That’s the bad thing about the manufacturer not qualifying it on an iPad.
If you attach an external drive to iOS or iPadOS, the system has NO secure eject! So far. I've checked on HFS+ and APFS volumes: if you wire it out after closing the Files app, it leaves a "Volume is marked as dirty" mark on the volume. I have one such drive in iPadOS 16.4 now, when connected to M1 Pro without adapters and hubs, it won't mount (like you have), and when connected to High Sierra the system crashes into a black screen with a restart. Only on Windows 10 with universal Paragon drivers pack this disk mounts and reads. That's where I saw that it's dirty, but so far I haven't found what's causing the mac to crash from it. Checking and fixing it with the Windows mac drivers has been going on for about an hour. After fixing the dirty label without data loss, the drive now mounts fine under both High Sierra and iOS/iPadOs.
I would assume that the "dirty" disk is not mounted under iOS precisely because the system is running a long procedure to cure it, but the disk indicator is not flashing, which indicates that there is no operation on the disk. At least now I have a workaround to bring such a drive to normal.
@@quietboysince59 very cool you were able to resolve and sounds like making drive usable again. Apple calls these things pro but they can’t reliably mount a drive. Frustrating
They their products pro and for music production their chips and hardware make many third party companies always incompatible for years even . It took native instruments (virtual instrument company )
Years to get compatible with the m1 chip.
You gotta sit there and not update OS or hardware for YEARS if you use it for pro stuff and third party tech
Thanks for the heads up, saved me time and money, much appreciated.
Connect with (lighting port to USB adapter) it come with individual power supply port. Your ipad couldn’t give enough power to ssd that is why it became hot.
Interesting. I will try that
I purchase and are now waiting for the Samsung T7 1TB. Thanks for the heads up. I will thoroughly run it through its paces before the return window expires
Hi clyde,
So how was your experience? I'm planning to buy T7 1TB for my ipad air 4.
Kinda confused, no portable Ssds supports ipad os (usually mac os or ios) and there are some issues with some users (friends, reviewers ....) like ipads not recognising ssds, heating problems, file transfer problems etc.
So could you please share your experience with the ssd , testings etc. Will wait for your reply before buying !
@@Animesh_007works decently when formatted as ExtFS (for dual use under iPad/Windows) . But controller doesn’t unlock the full potential of the drive. ~250MB/s max
Oh no, I bought two of these same drives from my iPad pro that arriving on Monday. Darn it! Thank you for the information.
Thank you for your explanation. I was just about to purchase one from Amazon. After seeing your video, I won’t.
@@chriswatts1909 I was looking for the T5 to buy for my son and see they don’t make it anymore. Thinking about getting the newer T7 to test. Let me know if it’s something you may be interested in seeing
Thank you very much was reviewing both . You helped tremendously with my decision.
The thing is that the controller is just not cooled well enought.
I'm planning to get a USB C TB3 SSD case and put a Samsung Evo m.2 NVME SSD and the manufacturer tells in the user manual to put a included heatsink and where exactly to put it and to not remove the small fan inside of the case. I actually have the same SanDisk SSD and it also heated up on my old 2019 MacBook Pro and my ROG laptop. The heat is actually also slowing down the performance on the SSD
The other issue would be extreme battery drain if you didn’t have it plugged into ac power.
Awesome video you just helped me decide on my ssd. Samsung T7 it is
T7 uses a similar format to the sandisk. I have not tested and may have the same issue
@@ShutterFanatic I don't know in iPads, but on my Mac, I use 2 t7 and they both get hot. But this is normal, don't cause any issues.
Thanks g! I been looking at both. So thank you very much, don’t need it getting super hot on me.
Anytime. I gave the sandisk to my son. The Samsung T5 has been awesome.
Thanks man!!
Your video makes a lot of sense.
I was about to buy the SanDisk SSD.
Glad I could help!
Very thankful for this video. I didn't know sandisk ssd not tested with ipad. I been thinking about taking sandisk 1tb ssd for new ipad air. Good I saw this before buying.
To be fair, I doubt any of the manufacturers test their ssds on mobile devices.
Really informative video. I'm currently starting out in video editing with Lumafusion on a 2020 iPad Air that has a regular USB-C drive and (instead of an SSD) I'm considering buying a 32 GB Sandisk Ultra Dual Drive Go to transfer video from my phone to this thumb drive, and then edit off the thumb drive itself on Lumafusion. I don't know much about data transferring, but the video content I edit (both A-Roll and B-Roll) is no more than 5 or 6 GB combined and which are 12-14 minute videos that take me about 2 hours to edit. Would I experience similar or other types of issues if I used such a drive? Thanks for the content!
No, you should be good. Sandisk actually recommended that drive when I called their support. You may want to consider just using a high speed SD inserted in a good ssd reader. Basically the same thing but can be more flexible. Its what I use for my iPhone. The speed is the issue however as it’s much slower than a ssd.
Easy fix, To avoid heating connect the ssd to a a/c powered usb hub.
I'm building my own style of External SSD for my mom and myself for Christmas.. I am using a UGREEN Single Drive Bay and an HP SSD with 500mb/s+ so I think it will work if the Transfer Speeds on newer Apple Iphones and Ipads if they allow 500mb/s+ speeds and also using a UGREEN USB-Hub to allow Power Through Charging so the Battery doesn't drain!
Sounds like a cool setup. iPhones still use lightning so expect usb 2.0 speeds.
@@ShutterFanatic It works for my Ipad Mini 6 great but I had to go on my Pc and Format the drive as a exFAT because it wasn't allocated and if it was it would have been NTFS which doesn't work for the IOS16 system so if people have trouble that could also be why!
@@TairaEldritch if you dont need to use it on a pc, you will gain transfer speed if you format it with one of the Mac formats (must have a Mac)
Try using a powered usb hub and see if that help.
I have edited a Video with the exact same Sandisk SSD and an iPad Pro 2020 just today in the afternoon wirhout any problems
Massive help! Thanks for this video.
Maybe if you used a thunderbolt hub so you can use wall power to power the drive while charging the iPad?
They are very expensive and seen reviews were people use them and they are not any faster
Thanks for your video. I had problems with the Sandisk SSD 1 TB scrambling my the sequence of my photos when transferring from an 2021 iPad Pro 11 inch. It also stripped information such as the dates the pics were taken and location when taken. I now only use thumb drives with the iPad Pro and save the SSD’s to use with my Mac.
🤔ihave the exact same ssd. But iused a anker 100w cord. I Dont hv heat issues..thght id say. Good luck👍. The cord, Transfer rate stayed the same. Its 16" long.
That’s interesting. Thanks for commenting
This is very helpful! Thanks so much
I use iPad mini 6, all connection through hub wich connected to IC. I transfer to this Sandisk 360 files from my new Insta360 RS one inch camera. Don't need a comp.
Yes, my Hub became warm to touch (even was asking hub seller about, he said is OK), but all components staying charged in first and SSD HD not even became warmer at all.
Transferring files and disconnecting is different from leaving connected while working
Great video. Thank for advice
Just bought the sandisk 2tb on Amazon prime day for $160 to use with my iPad Air. Now I’m regretting it.
Did you give it a shot? Did you have the same issue?
thanks for the explain, i buy a samsung t5 now
I have a similar problem with heat , but my biggest problem is when I download my files from my iPad to the ssd they all download but after a couple of hours some them become corrupted and unable to open ? However not all of them , this is not good as I want to keep them for future reference ! Samsung T5 then 👍
I have the best luck with dragging and dropping with two files apps open on split view. Apple needs to clean up the external storage in the IOS.
Interesting - my Sandisk is perfect. Doesnt get hot and I haven't noticed it draining the battery.
What version do you have? I tried mine in both my pro and my dons air with the same results
Helpful to know about this type of issue, thanks.
thank you ...
Hola. Tengo un iPad Pro 12.9 5th. Compre un ssd Kingston de 2gb/s y solo a funcionado pocas horas. Compre un adaptador orico y un nvme Kingston y paso lo mismo.
Que estoy haciendo mal?
The Sandisk extreme pro 2000mb/s model works ok with iPad Pro and says it’s compatible with usb-c smartphones (on the box) so maybe sandisk sorted the problem ?
SSD or SD Card? It’s the SSD that needs the drivers.
What dose faster mean I don’t understand like transferring from computer to drive and drive to computer?
MAAN… I think you fine the problem. I burn one sd card 256gb (sandisk) and one ssd drive T7 SAMSUNG. I can’t be 100% shure.. but. Both are dead..
does this still hold true today?
Hi I have the same San disk but an iPad 7th generation, would it work in my iPad? Cause I’ve been trying but doesn’t work
Great video as always! I would like to ask you for advice. I have two Hard Disks (formatted in exFat) that I normally use on a PC. I tried to connect them via the Hub to the iPad (Air m1) but they turn on without the iPad recognizing them. How could I solve? I also changed the adapter but nothing. I state that until some time ago they were read without the slightest problem.
Thanks, your IPad should read exfat. Is the drive an old school hard disk? My old ones can be iffy even on my MacBook. I would try power cycling the iPad.
@@ShutterFanatic I tried turning off the iPad but the problem still persists. I have both “WD elements portable” and “Maxtor M3” hard drives. The Maxtor is read even though it has been formatted in NFTS (therefore the files are read from the iPad, even if nothing is inserted into them"), while the WD (formatted in exFat) is not read🥲
Wait. I'm new to this ipad stuff so please excuse me if the question is too dumb. I am thinking of buying an ipad air 64GB which I know it's kinda small but ipads are extremely expensive in my country. I was thinking, since it has usb-c, that I could get an external ssd, and edit some videos and photos without copying them to the iPad's internal storage, meaning I would edit them from the ssd itself. Is this something that could be done? 🙏🏼
I do not know about this for sure, but i think you have to copy the actual image or video to ipad main storage to properly edit it
Video for sure using LumaFusion. Not sure if any of the mainstream photo editing apps support external ssd or not.
@@ShutterFanatic thank you!
Hi! May I give you a suggestion. Putting myself in your position, I would still go and buy Ipad Air or 10th gen Ipad with 256gb. A device with 64gb is a good one, but for content consumption, writing emails, reading.. With cloud service, all your heavy files will be accessible but not taking place in your ipad. However, for video and photo editing, I would go for 256gb. Not only because of the files, but because of the system updates and apps storage and updates. If your system is almost full, it won't work properly. The main difference between Air and Ipad 10gen is the chip. Of course, there are even more, but now we are talking about editing large files, not everyday life. So, if I have to look after my budget, I would take ipad 10gen with 256gb. This device would give me all its potential , and it would help me to understand... Am I serious about editing, or is it only a hobby. If it is only a hobby of mine and I just want a good device, 10th gen is a great option at a lower price.
If I am a person who is going after something more serious for video editing and the budget is an issue, I would check Apples options on their official website in the section "refurbished." You would be suprised how good deals you can find there. Also, you have some warranty directly from Apple.
Anyway, no matter you decide, believe in your own intuition and choices! Even our own mistakes are better choices than the greatest ever someone else's advice. Believe and trust yourself, dear fella! Be well and have good times ahead of you!
@@SourianteOrange thank you for your answer!! I really appreciate it. Ended up choosing the Air 5 with 256GB cause I preferred to spend a bit more on storage instead of the fancy things from the Pro that I'm not even gonna use, and save some cash. I'm not in the us, so buying refurbished or otherwise is sadly not an option I can rely on. I'm happy with my purchase, I'll receive it soon! Many blessings to you 💜
He basically lied to you... Those SanDisk drives are getting really hot on Macs and PCs also... I have two of those...
The reason why T5 is not getting hot is because it uses SATA, not nVME like SanDisk does... T7 is also getting hot, and also because it's nVME...
Good to know. I gave mine to my son spto use with his MacBook so I will have to check it. Hope they don’t stop making the sata type because the T5 is awesome.
Try a Crucible = slower but cheaper!
Do you have the same opinion on the 520 mb/s SanDisk Portable SSD? I need one for a PS5.
I would think it would be the same due to the firmware and operation.
Would you still recommend this?
I built my own Thunderbolt Drive and no problems at all. also i can not see why your drive wont work on the ipad because its just a drive but its not thunderbolt either how ever strage things happen samsung is crap they need firmware updates to stay stable they burn up fast as well just total junk. so i build my own drives and never a propblem but i never use samsung junk either i use kingston and WD drives and crucial , in my thunderboilt cases and even in my usb C cases . your ipad is not a problem but the thunderbolt is a bit slower but its a freaking ipad and i know it should run faster and it might just be that apple needs some firmwareupdates for the ipad for more speed then what you getting but i do get some really fast speeds from my drives and all external drives will run hot but thats the nature of them but there is a limit to how hot they should get and it sounds to me like your drive went way past but it is sanddisk they are better then samsung from most things but they are also heaters at the same time
I sold my iPad Pro and replace it Macbook Air. The iPad lack the force close app and eject command. It corrupted my external drive.
I have heard others having that issue. I have a MacBook Air but use my iPads much more. Best laptop I ever owned for sure. I installed jettison which is software that makes ejecting your drives easier as I always thought Apple implemented that not so great. The program wasn’t too expensive. Less than $10 I think.
This video was uploaded a year ago… has anything changed since then?
Thank You!
it's your USB-C cable
Buy a fast one that made for Apple and that wont happen anymore
I have tried a couple higher end cables but not the high speed apple oem one.
Thanks a lot!
If I connect Samsung T7 to my iPad Pro 2021 will any problem arise in my iPad Pro 2021 ??
I have not used the T7 sorry.
Honestly, your problem has nothing to do with the iPad, or compatibility. I have the same Sandisk SSD, and using it on PC it gets super hot too even doing reads and at idle mostly due to the speeds it can achieve, and because the case it is in is designed poorly for thermals. It's covered in plastic and rubber, with no exposed metal for heat transfer to the air so the plastic and rubber just soak up heat without dissipating it, and it feels super hot to the touch. A friend of mine had the same SSD and he actually removed it from the case and put it into a different SSD enclosure and that made a big difference. Even at the super hot temps this thing gets to, the thermals are within the limits of the flash chips and controller on the unit, so Sandisk just keeps selling these atrocities. Regarding performance, you can gain better performance on an external SSD on iPad by formatting it to APFS. Unfortunately you need a Mac to do this.
I have a MacBook Air. I bought a laser thermometer to do a better test and plan on doing a compare of the 2. Even if the temp was normal, you can watch the battery drain before your eyes. Plan on including this as well. Thanks for taking the time to help.
Hi! Heads up is really appreciated, but I have a question. Do you know if this is happening only with iPad pro models and this external SanDisk drive?
Because I'm buying the iPad Air 4 (64Gb) and I was confident in buying the Sandisk drive (1Tb), but now I think it'll be better to buy the Samsung T5 version, what would you suggest? I don't want my iPad battery to be drained 😅
I wouldn’t recommend based on the response from Sandisk. My son has an iPad Air 4. I did a quick test and it got warm at idle after like 10 -15 min. Doesn’t seem as bad but you would be safer going with the T5.
is the IPad Pro M2 running iOS 16 any better in terms of read/write speed and avoiding overheating of the SSD?
Doing some testing on ipad 16 now
How can I get that Wallpaper.
I have same problem with sandisk, or event worst, most of my footage that i move from ipad ssd are corrupted
Me too, all my photos are gone.
@@ppexped what ssd do use now?
Wish I had known. Tried my SSD 1TB, after watching a video on how it works with Satechi dongle. DOngle showed but the SSD did not. Will try with a thumb drive. If that works I'll go SAMSUNG TS.
That's because you dongle does not support type C 3.2...
I used san disk drive on my ipad and ps5 and is never got hot !
Did you try it with a USB-C hub connected to the iPad Pro ?
Yes, I had the same results. Hope this helps
This heating issue is happening with my SanDisk usb c pendrive as well , on m1 iPad pro.
Wish Apple would update their firmware. Turning out to be not as much "Pro” as it’s marketed (lol)
Can i use 1TB SSD On my IPAD MINI 6 ??
What is best
Crucial X8 4TB Portable SSD vs SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD ?
Sorry, not familiar with the crucial model.
Thank you....I deleted the SanDisk from my Amazon cart!!
my ipad (10 version) gets stucked when pluggin my SSD T7 and then it restarts automatically. My experiecnce is that the IOS "File APP is not really realiable for loading big data sets sitting on an external drive.
For sure iOS needs some work on file system and usb protocols
It is possible to access the the PrivetAccess on iPad Pro?
Tks
If it’s a vpn, most major ones have an app for iOS.
Not showing
My iPad Air 4 isn’t working with Samsung ssd t7 😢 any solution?
No familiar with the t7 but would try force closing your files app and restarting your iPad
I just got Samsung T5 … But , removing external ssd corrupts content and files … files either disappear or get corrupted… seems there’s no “safely disconnect” feature in iPad!
No that option doesn’t exist on iPad. That said, I never disconnect properly even from my Macs and never got corrupt files. Did this happen one time or does it keep happening?
Tanx man
Did you need to download an app to use the sandisk with your iPad or did you just plug it in and go ?
Just plugged it in and go into files.
Hi, was there any lag working video edits from the T5?
@@fefkvjeef thank you
No lag using 4K 30 with the T5. Have not tried 4K 60 yet.
I'm planning to buy an iPad Air 64gb within my budget. I will take a lot of notes on the iPad. As the price of 256 GB iPad Air is too much in my country. So I want to use a portable SSD later. Then can I store the files from GOODNOTES there ? And how much storage can a file of goodnotes of 10 or 20 pages usually occupy? There are no iPad users around me to ask. So, can you please tell me before I buy iPad.
You would need to be able to save them to Files. I have GoodNotes but don’t use if often. I looked just now and not see this option.
Use Cloud storage.
Or you could also use an ordinary external hdd like a seagate .. it works seamlessly with the iPad to backup files
T7 does work with i pad air4?
Sorry, I don’t have a T7. I didn’t buy since I read that it used the same technology as the sandisk and worried about having the same issue
When i plug my T5 in to my ipad all i see is the set_up
Is it a legit T5? If so, you should see it when you go to Files.
external ssd makes the device hot how do i fix it
The heat is probably due to battery drain. This is the reason I use the T5 as it doesn’t this issue with the IPad
Hi I bought an iPad bro 1 TB so when I need to transfer my files from my iPad to my SSD SanDisk the file is disappeared or corrupted so if I bought a Samsung T5 SSD will be safe to remove my file from my my iPad to my SSD] .
Safe is a strong word. I would feel more comfortable with the T5 but I don’t think any of the SSDs are qualified on IPAD. The drivers and OS are not optimized for compatibility. External drives on iPad are and afterthought.
How did you disconnect the ssd from the ipad? That could be the problem.
Hello! Please help me with this question: when I connect the ssd t5 to the ipad, I take off the photos, check - he sees them, turn off the power, disconnect the ssd. Then I go in and some files weigh 0kb and I can't see them. How to fix it?
Sorry, I don’t fully understand the steps listed. Can you please clearify
Thank you,big help.but maybe if you could show us how the connect was done it would be great tnx.fr a beginner in technology
Hey, I have a iPad Air 4 generation.
I have a question, actually when ever I connect any external storage such as SSD or pendrive and I try to copy some large file.
the files app on my iPad kind of freezes for some time.
And after few movement works normally.
Is it only me who is facing this issue ??
It might be the same issue that I was having. I did a video on it. czcams.com/video/EeJyKt7agb4/video.html. Let me know if this solved your issue.
$ 300+ no thanks.
