Mac Best 1tb Ssd Usb-c For Video Editing

Another vote for Samsung T5 I have two of them: one as my general backup and portable drive. And another for my Lightroom Catalog and RAW photos. The latter drive is especially nice since I can use my current active Lightroom catalog on either my desktop or my laptop. No more worrying about adding photos to the laptop in the field and then having to migrate them back to my 'main' catalog back home. It has definitely changed the game for me. And it's an SSD so it's fast and responsive!

Thunderbolt, USB 3.1/USB-C, and USB 3.0 external SSDs are available now, but they are much more expensive than spinning hard drives: For example, a simple 1TB USB 3.0 (spinning) hard drive goes for about $50 to $60, while a 1TB SSD using USB 3.0 costs upwards of $300.

All drives can fail. Make a plan now before disaster strikes! Click to expand.As others have said you are waisting your money on an SSD. For backups (other than the first) you don't need speed. The S5 1 TB on Amazon runs something like $200. If you are cloning a 1 TB disk that would be fine.

But if you are using Time Machine you need at least 2 TB, preferably more. For $95 you can get a Seagate 5 TB drive from Costco.

Get another 5 TB drive from another vendor for the same amount of money and then put one backup in your off-site safe deposit box. Much better use of your money. Relying on just one backup is not good policy. The latest backblaze drive stats show an average of 1% failure rate. SSD's can also have problems. I have about 15 HDDs and 10 SSDs in service.

I buy intel, Samsung pro, and crucial SSDs only, usually one of each successive generation. I’ve had the best luck with Samsung drives (no failures), then crucial (one failure) and then intel (two failures). Both intels just stopped working suddenly and that was it.

The crucial started reporting bad sectors and corrupting data. I expect all storage to eventually die, so am paranoid about data duplication and backups. I have all data backed up in at least 3 places. I’m willing to spend a few hundred dollars a year to make sure my priceless data is safe. I have about 15 HDDs and 10 SSDs in service.

If you're looking for a backup drive and not necessarily a daily hard drive that you'll be transferring large amounts of data to, I'd save a great deal of money and go with a standard HDD. I have a lacie rugged external HDD that has been getting daily use for almost 6 years now. I just recently purchased another just in case, but use a desktop external drive to back up both of my laptops (a 5tb drive) If you're really set on getting a SSD, I would have to recommend the Samsung t5 or a lacie rugged SSD.

Hope this helps.
