PT session from a T5 SSD
Has anyone had issues with running/writing/producing a PT session from a Samsung T5 SSD?
Thanks G |

Re: PT session from a T5 SSD
Never used one, but I was immediately suspicious when I looked up the drive and read about "built-in encryption". This is a red-flag in my book, even though they claim it doesn't affect performance.
This reddit thread makes for an interesting read: https://www.reddit.com/r/VeraCrypt/c...encryption_on/ Did you enable/disable encryption, or reformat the drive when purchased new for your system ? mac or pc ? I always reformat a new drive myself (Mac OS Extended Journaled). I then disable Spotlight indexing on any audio drive. (I use 3rd party apps for searching drives). After opening a session, do you wait for your entire session to buffer into RAM before hitting play ? |

Re: PT session from a T5 SSD
The T5 is pretty straight-forward and there's no need to run encryption on it.
The T7 has some fingerprint security mechanism which is probably best avoided. The T5 is a USB disk and pretty fast, provided you connect it to a fast USB port which isn't suffering from any contention. I'll let you use the excellent Wikipedia page to determine if you are actuallly using a fast USB port - things are not always obvious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB Internal SSD is generally more reliable - no cables to go bad, no connectors to wear out etc, but plenty of people run video editing sessions from external drives without trouble. I personally prefer to copy everything to internal SSD and then copy the sessions out to external disk for backup and transfer, but I don't work with video and I'm never in a hurry. There were some issues with T5 disks and CCC at one point, but these have been overcome with updates to CCC. |

I've used them exclusively for the last few years. Never had a single problem. Mixing only though. Big sessions, not a glitch. I always run them off a dedicated USB port. They're super portable for taking sessions between studio and home. No power supplies. Would highly recommend. Haven't tried the T7 model yet. Last edited by RichR; 02-19-2021 at 07:52 AM. |

Re: PT session from a T5 SSD
Running T5 and T7 drives as main sample library and recording session drives. Never an issue.

Re: PT session from a T5 SSD
If it is USB3 drive your throughput is determined by that buss. Does not matter if the SSD would transfer terabyte a second, it is limited by USB3. That is enough for plenty, but there are other options for more performance once you need it.

Re: PT session from a T5 SSD
I have a mix of T3, T5 and T7 now. It's all I've worked off of for several years. Zero issues with any of them.

Re: PT session from a T5 SSD
Agreed. It's great to have SSD portability when it's needed, but when it's not, I'd much rather work with PCie nvme's for their superior performance.
