#Xpro v2 review portable#

You can't compare the performance or thermal characteristics of these portable SSDs without using the default enclosures and bridge chips. Thus, comparing just the underlying storage alone. Seanwebster said:At that point you wouldn't be testing the actual portable SSDs as they are, you would just be testing the performance of the internal SSDs in that one enclosure. Maximum temperatures hit roughly 48 degrees Celsius on the surface (S.M.A.R.T. While the drive runs warm, it will deliver exceptional performance most of the time thanks to the chassis acting as a heatsink. The performance never slowed due to throttling, even after writing 600GB of data to the devices. data reports a device temperature of 44 degrees Celsius.)

SanDisk’s Extreme Pro v2 idles a little warm, with the surface of the device measuring 40 degrees Celsius when simply connected to the system, or roughly 6-10 degrees Celsius hotter than most 10Gbps devices.

After 30 seconds of idle time, the SanDisk Extreme Pro reclaimed the full capacity of its static SLC write cache. The SSD wrote 32GB of data at a rate of roughly 2 GBps before degrading to a consistent direct-to-TLC performance of 1.6 GBps. Second only to the super-expensive 8TB Sabrent Rocket XTRM-Q, SanDisk’s new 2TB Extreme Pro v2 boasts impressive write performance. Bear in mind that results will vary based on the workload and ambient air temperature. data and an IR thermometer to see when (or if) thermal throttling kicks in and how it impacts performance. We also monitor the temperature of the drive via the S.M.A.R.T. We also monitor cache recovery via multiple idle rounds. We use iometer to hammer the SSD with sequential writes for 15 minutes to measure both the size of the write cache and performance after the cache is saturated.

Sustained write speeds can suffer tremendously once the workload spills outside of the cache and into the 'native' TLC or QLC flash.

Most SSDs implement a write cache, which is a fast area of (usually) pseudo-SLC programmed flash that absorbs incoming data. Official write specifications are only part of the performance picture. Write speed and temperature are two important and inter-related metrics for external devices.

Sustained Write Performance, Cache Recovery, and Temperature The NVMe protocol aids the Thunderbolt 3 SSDs, so they tend to respond much faster across the board. Modelling lamp control expanded (adjust the modelling lamp of each light separately in Proportional and PercentageĪnd Wes Perry mentions it also inherits the X2T's ability to turn a group on/off simply by double-tapping the group button.Īlso of no interest to you Pentaxians, but Canon folks are hearing the XPro II-C is going to fix the TTL+HSS issue with the EOS R bodies.SanDisk’s Extreme Pro v2 displays very strong sequential read and write performance with notable gains at smaller file sizes compared to the older WD Black SN750-powered WD Black P50.You can save presets under the USER function (similar to the old Godox app).New TEST Button setting (TRIGGER / SHUTTER).TCM also updated with more options for the light to define as the base.Step function now can define either decimal (#.#) or ratio display (1/#), and set minimal power limit, as well as 0.3EV or 0.1EV units.Channel and MULTI are now function settings.SHOOT function rearranged: no more APP setting, but now a new L-858 mode for the Sekonic RT-GX unit.SCAN function (to find least-crowded channels).If sync delay is set indicator on main screen.

Near as I can suss out from looking at the user manuals, nothing super-substantial was added, but it's mainly upgrading to be on a par with the V1/V860 III/TT685 II and X2T/R2 Pro II feature set. Whether you want to use the app when it requires you to create a login, give it your smartphone's phone number, and give it access to your location information to use it is a completely different thing.

It looks a little different, but I'm not sure what has changed, apart from adding Bluetooth (is that new?).Yes it's new on the XPro, not new on the X2T and the Flashpoint R2 Pro II.
