hi everyone today we're gonna do a quick show-and-tell this was a time when I was
in Colombia and I was shooting a documentary about a young fisherman
this is when I got caught in a torrential rainstorm from the Cuban
countryside
this is when I was filming a story about an Iraqi boxer
I could be sharing all day I have so much so much footage the thing about it
is what do you do when you film for year after year after year you have tons of
video and photo footage well you end up putting it on external hard drives and
if you're like me that gets a little crazy so I found a solution it's a new
year and I've decided to make new decisions one of them is not going back
to normal hard drives because I just don't have time to around especially
with daily uploading them to YouTube so what I've decided to use is portable
solid-state drives or SSDs as they're called this drive is essential for
creating content and clarity of mind this drive is great for multimedia users
or people who shoot a lot and have really large files because it transfers
at really really fast speeds for me I found that it transfers about 3
gigabytes per minute which is incredibly fast so I can just upload and transfer
data and I don't have to waste my time sitting on my computer and waiting and
waiting and waiting it's just you'll save so much time and hassle by using
this by the way guys I just want to stop for a second tell you I am not endorsed
by Samsung or by this solid-state drive which is a 2 terabyte drive
I just am Telling You because I don't want you to waste all your time like
I've wasted my time now this is a normal hard drive and I've had one thing that's
really really been bothering me about this for whatever reason I've been
having a connection issue with my normal hard drive with the USB when I just
jiggle it just a tad or just move my computer it totally disconnects and I
haven't had this problem with a solid-state drive so we learn from our
mistakes and as a creator I want to create things if you're if you're a
photographer or videographer you want to create things so you don't want to waste
your time having to deal with upload speeds and editing you it's editing
really slow you just don't want to deal with that
so that's why this external hard drive is so great because it's super small and
it just transfers data very very quickly guys I just want to end this by saying
why chance it why risk all that time and effort that you took to take those
photos shoot that video you can always earn more money you can always buy
another external hard drive but you can't get that footage back so that's
why I recommend you use a solid-state external hard drive it doesn't have to
be portable although I like portable because I end up using so many and I
just run out of space on my shelf to store them so that's why I use a
portable one it's just a lot easier to travel with and a lot easier to store
and a solid-state drive has no moving parts so it's much less likely to fail
than a normal hard drive which has moving parts on the inside I still
recommend that you backup all your footage on to different external hard
drives and then put these external hard drives in two different locations just
in case something happens this will give you a clarity of mind and allow you to
move with speed and dexterity thank you for taking the time to watch this video
I hope it was helpful and saves you a lot of time and frustration if you
enjoyed it give me all that YouTube love and
subscribe like comment share with a friend and I will see you in the next
video have a good day look how small this thing is it also comes with these
two cables so you can connect to Mac PC and Android devices
