A small LED oversees transfer if you donвЂ™t have a screen. A USB Type-C to Standard-A cable is included. The SL-E1 uses a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface with a USB Type C connection, and transfer rates are up to 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write, so you should experience little if any slowdown in your editing and backing up.

ВЈ429.00/$288.84 SonyвЂ™s SL-E1 960GB external solid state drive is one of three that the company produces in the same series there are also 240GB and 480GB versions, but the highest capacity gives you an element of future-proofing, and fewer worries about running out of space if youвЂ™re working on location for long periods of time. +В Pros: Huge storage, rugged and well priced It can be used with large-capacity SxS PRO+ D Series memory cards.

Top speeds should hit 440MB/s, though this falls to 360MB/s with 8TB/12TB models best speeds are reached in the RAID 0 configuration (a 1TB file should transfer in less than an hour). The drive uses both USB 3.1 Gen 1 and two Thunderbolt 2 connections so you shouldnвЂ™t be short of connection options, including chaining several drives if required.

вЂњMany of the drives stand up to water, dust and dropsвЂќ At 156x100x241mm and weighing 2.9kg, itвЂ™s not small or light, but thatвЂ™s not its job. Unlike the other drives covered here it also needs a power supply as itвЂ™s not bus-powered. It can operate from 5вЊ to 40вЊ, so might need some additional protection if youвЂ™re planning to use it in extreme conditions, but it can be stored from -20вЊ to +60вЊ. There are internal and external dampers, allowing the unit to run while thereвЂ™s vibration, such as from a running car or generator, and a robust carry case with handle.

Unlike most drives of the size, the Pro Field models also offer a good level of shock resistance. YouвЂ™re unlikely to run out of space, and itвЂ™s a lot easier than chasing multiple smaller drives about your desktop after the event. These are hard disk drives (HDDs) so you canвЂ™t expect solid-state speed levels, but thereвЂ™s masses of capacity with models from 4TB to 12TB, and as RAID devices you can use the total of the storage (RAID 0) or mirror it (RAID 1).

ВЈ589.85/$750 If you need huge amounts of portable storage, say when shooting an extended event or using lots of cameras, Sony offers a great solution in the shape of its Pro Field drives. And with lots of space you can mirror your backups for greater security. Traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) are slower, but offer lots more storage for your money, so if you donвЂ™t need to edit off the drive they can be a more cost-effective option. They are backwards compatible with USB 3.1 Gen 1, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, but your connection speed is limited by the slowest of the links in the chain, so donвЂ™t expect a USB 3.1 SSD to perform wonders on an old laptop with 2.0 ports. Solid state drives with a USB 3.1 Gen 2 connection are still very fast, though вЂ“ certainly enough to edit 4K video without problems. If you need the fastest connections, a solid state drive (SSD) is the way to go, and when combined with a Thunderbolt 3 connection youвЂ™ll get huge speeds. And many of the drives are rugged enough to stand up to water, dust and accidental drops as well. This selection offers a range of specs so all needs are covered, from those who need masses of storage on location to those who need the fastest transfer speeds. ThatвЂ™s why weвЂ™ve brought together a selection of the latest models in this monthвЂ™s group test. And while youвЂ™ll most likely already have a selection of drives, with file sizes always on the rise and many videographers now using multiple cameras, both the space and the speed you need should be routinely reassessed. Whether you want to back up footage in the field or edit movies on the fly, youвЂ™re going to need a first-class portable hard drive.
