SanDisk Professional PRO-G40 SSD Review

Today we are taking a look at an SSD from the SanDisk Professional line called the SanDisk Professional Pro-G40 announced in late 2022.

In the past, we have reviewed several SanDisk SSD drives, however, the drive that we are looking at today is part of SanDisk Professional previously known as G-Technology (the branding was changed back in mid-2021).

Let me understand this, you have a MacBook with thunderbolt connection, are reviewing a thunderbolt ssd drive but decide to throw up slow numbers on screen (1:43) for read/write that are reflective of usb 3.1? If you are going to review the drive for thunderbolt speed, then do so. Don't make this a confusing video of how the drive doesn't perform up to expectations. If you use a slower cable that maxes out at a lower speed, then of course you are going to get slower speeds.

Excellent review sir, straight to the point and gave me all of what I needed to purchase this SSD. Thank you.

Is there any way to test for SSD reliability ? Many of us need portable SSDs as a simple Time Machine or general backup solution: backup drives should prioritise data integrity over speed.

No USB A compatibility. You saved me some dough.

i found it very hard to believe that this product wouldnt work on usb A ports. So i contacted their support team and they are saying it should work on any usb A port, as long as it provides enough power.

Can you provide any details to what devices with what usb A versions you have tried to connect this product?

Sandisk have upped their design - all new drives are SLICK.
