The Best Internal SSDs for 4K Video Editing

So maybe you're a video creator and you are building your new editing rig. You have an awesome external SSD for editing your crispy 4K footage, but you aren't quite sure what's the best SSD you should put inside your computer that'll give you the speed you need without costing a crazy amount of money.

B&H was kind enough to let me wander their megastore here in NYC to see if I could find the best internal SSDs for editing 4K video and I ended up with four I can easily recommend.

SAMSUNG 860 EVO SSD:

CRUCIAL SSD:

SANDISK SSD:

WD BLUE SSD:

I'm looking for a similar comparison using cheaper ssds for external recording in a ninja v. Do you have a review like that?

[LivingWithUsTV]

Looks like the pricing on everything dropped drastically during the time of watching this vid today.

[echolectricstudios]

What’s better for editing footage (4K)...860 evo or 860 qvo? Connected to SATA 1 on my mother board. I already have a 1TB 970 evo plus connected via m2 on my board.

What are your thoughts about the Intel 660P Series M.2 2280 1TB Pcie SSD?

[rkmugen]

Do you know which of these four SSDs have the longest, expected lifespan (for lack of a better term) if under the heaviest *_and_* sustained workload? I am considering upgrading from my old HDD to my very first SSD.

Great vid. Is PNY a good brand compatible to WD, Crucial, Samsung or Sandisk? Thank you

[SamAdamsDesigns]

Wow SSD prices have gone down a LOT in 2 years

[TheDude-vxwn]

Hi, will these work on atomos ninja v?

[adriang.]

what is more important? read or write speed?

[JustinBishop]

Your video and the film drone guy are the most knowledgeable about this stuff. Good to know

What’s a budget laptop that can handle intense video editing ?

[Tomastyr]

Does anyone know if I can save de video editing software files on a hardrive that has a mirror an leave the videos material on SSD? Would that make the video editing process slower? I would do this so that if the SSD fails i dont loose the backup files. (And i would have the video files copied on another Raid 5 system)

860 dropped in price which is very very solid
