**Upgrading from a 256GB to a 512GB SSD with Thunderbolt**

Alright so now we just take our shock absorber and we fiddle this back in there yeah there we go orange is the new orange so now we got our awesome little adapter kit and you can screw in the drives as well for security but we're only putting this drive on here for a migration and then that's it so I'm not gonna bother with that so basically it's as simple as putting it in like that and Bon Appetit so now this is ready to go off of USB into a computer for migration okay so be lossy is all put together and plugged in and boom that is exactly what I wanted to happen so let's make sure it's working okay so since this drives and I've been used before we do need to initialize it and it looks like we have SanDisk that's right so far 512 gigs so it's got the storage space and everything down that's good all right so let the erase button to format this basically and we'll use Mac OS extended journaled and give it the same name as the other one and erase and there we go right on the desktop so now we have a brand new 512 gig SSD external with Thunderbolt ready to use and ready to migrate.

**Connecting the New Drive**

Okay so I just hooked up the Samsung Drive with that external adapter so now we have two cosmos one is old one is new basically all I should have to do is really simple and it should be super easy so here are the Final Cut Pro scratch disks and all that good stuff I should be able to select them go to copy open up the new 512 gig drive right click and paste so now we're migrating all the data from one drive to the other but yeah 207 gigs so it's gonna take a while because again this enclosure is USB 2 so the reading or excuse me the writing to that lossy Drive will be pretty fast but the reading is gonna be slow cuz this is Thunderbolt and that's Thunderbolt all right. So now this is the fun part where we just watch it go and slowly go insane as the data ticks along slowly go insane slowly go insane so you guys okay blink blink blink alright it's still going I think it's taking a little bit longer than the initial estimated amount of time but it's usb2 so it's gonna be slow so about thirty one fake minutes left it's probably gonna be longer than that but hey it's still going so far this is still working after this is done we'll run a speed test and see if it holds up.

**Speed Test Results**

and there we have it ladies and gentlemen the lossy rugged Thunderbolt one drive has been upgraded from a 256 to a 512 gigabyte SSD we also went from a Samsung to a SanDisk SSD as well wow that was a lot smoother than the last episode oh my gosh that was full of conundrums if you have not seen that yet definitely check it out. So anyway just to kind of have a nice send-off here let's open up the black magic disk speed test I love this utility so we're gonna stress test this drive with a 5 gig file and it simulates the performance of different types of video formats and resolutions and it sees how well it can read and write them so let's run the test and see what we get.

The Black Magic Disk Speed Test results are as follows: The right is off to 299 point age it's dropping down now it's going back up again it's just kissing 300 down to 2 99.5 the right is hovering around there and the read kicks up to 367 370 370 to 370 three threes oh it's going over to one up it's approaching three 83 83 80 can we get 380 377 377 megabytes per second on the read and the write s 299 300 point nine three two point ninety we get to 301 three two one no no no we can't anyway yes that's a exaggerations aside there's a lot of green checkmarks on there that's good. So with the five gigabyte files stress test we are looking at a quick test average of about 300 megabyte per second right times or excuse me right speeds and about 380 1.8 megabyte per second read speeds so pretty damn good considering this is still a Thunderbolt 1 device.

**Conclusion**

Alright ladies and gentlemen thank you for tuning in and thank you to the manager of the SSD hotline Durga 1 thank you for holding sir what you have saved this production but wait there's more remember when I was talking about the trials and tribulations of the previous episode with the Mac OS 9 installation tune in because soon the dramatic anti-climate to conclusion to that two-parter series so stick around for that alright guys we'll see you in the not-too-distant future you\\n

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwarranty void if seal is broken analysis carefully Oh greetings Internet and welcome back to crazy Ken it is a very special day you see we have a little lossy rugged drive here this thing has served me well thunderbolt SSD external tough portable and really fast I've been using this to edit video off of for years but alas it is time to upgrade it from a quarter terabyte to a half a terabyte solid-state drive in and that's what we're doing today but something else has also come to my attention I've been doing these types of little video log style videos about tech processes for a long time internally I like to call them TV Elle's or tech video logs and they date back a long way on this channel and usually I've been able to conquer a lot of things by myself but today I think it's only appropriate if I call in the expert when it comes to solid-state drives who else do I go with none other than our good friend four to zero let's give him a call it's just you're someone's trouble to the SSD wheel well I should probably just answer the phone SST hotline now can I help you oh thank goodness draaga okay I need an SSD stat damn it I thought I blocked this number ah yes yes I think I can help you with that do you mind if I put you on a quick hold yeah sure no problem at all take your time huh the wee days later come on I know you're there hello so we days later thank you for holding sir what sort of SSD would you like gah finally okay I want something fast huh something big go on something bold I like where this is going and something cheap cuz I ain't got no money excellent choice I have just the product for you what capacity form and interface hang on I'm gonna have to look up those words quick let's see thank you google I need a 512 gigabyte two and a half inch SATA 3 Drive it's pronounced SATA uh no it's clearly Santa Santa Santa say duh it's Santa anyway I'll get that right over to you that'll be eight 7995 after taxes can I have the number on your credit card sure let me just get my wallet okay the number is five well hey it went through it'll be right over to you now please hang up Hey Thanks well that should be on its way soon Oh it must be here let's get started well ladies and gentlemen jaraguá has delivered behold a SanDisk solid-state drive so this 512 gig is about to be inside this case you can buy these drives still that's not a problem but I don't really need a separate enclosure and all that other stuff I just want the internal drive upgraded so to save money that's why I went to draaga to get this sucker so now the other drive will kind of just function as a drive itself sometimes cameras need drives and you can just throw them in there you can put them in another enclosure whatever so let's have a little unboxing party ok the X 400 SSD sounds important there we go and you following me camera guy yeah like I can afford a camera guy and there we go ok here is the drive itself let's take it out of the condom here let's Sierra go it hey yes my favorite attention observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive device there is nothing in this box so I don't see any precautions maybe there somewhere else but anyway I have not shorted out a drive in my life so hopefully we don't start now actually I'm not gonna remove it from the condom yet because I want to prep something else so you're gonna just kind of sit right there so before I actually remove this from the condom unit we'll hold off on that for now I need to take the drive out of here that's what I want to do next and I'm gonna throw it into this cheap little thing yes this cheap thing which is actually by Rosewill is really good and it has served me well over many years basically it'll take an internal drive and convert it to an external drive in this case it will take a two and a half inch form factor with SATA and it will convert it to USB and you can even put the whole drive and the board inside this nifty case now this is a rugged or a rugged can't pronounce anything so we got to remove it from its case its shock absorbent case yeah bad oh yeah there we go there we go oh mama that's it there we go let's just have someone walk in on you watching this crazy Ken episode with a lot of grunting and moaning sounds from some stranger totally normal okay so this is the case it looks like we just have some Phillips screws to tackle here that shouldn't be too difficult for this Phillips screwdriver and when you do this stuff like this is a crazy can episode I do not want to be educational really but I do like to give some pointers every so often always just separate your screws and it's nice to have a magnetic screwdriver as well yes cuz you know metal magnets it helps things stick together and move easier lefty loosey righty tighty lefty loosey righty tighty I've explained that pneumonic device to some people and they're actually kind of surprised because there's been times where I asked someone to unscrew something and they're like which direction I'm just like which direction this the same direction as always at least in the u.s. I've never encountered a screw or anything that twists for tightness go any other way besides lefty loosey and righty tighty okay so now the metal enclosure is unscrewed and I don't know if this is I think this is right side up so now let's just it looks like we have some restraints like a flat head standard whatever you want to call this tool oh there we go and just kind of wiggle the inside there well we got one side out no problem there we go so now let's just carefully oh okay let's just carefully break everything so now I should really be doing this on an anti-static mat again this is not supposed to be educational material but anyway this is the board and the Samsung SSD that was originally inside this lossy Drive so now essentially we're gonna take this off and put this in there so now let's move that to the side all right so we got that removed look at that beauty man these things are light all right now let's see warranty void if seal is broken yes this probably was expired a long time ago let's just pop that out it looks like it's already got some kind of shielding or protection there I have no idea what that is but yes this is still a perfectly good SSD I could throw this on a black magic camera or put it in and put it in some other enclosure you know so yeah let's keep that around for a while right actually it will need to go into an enclosure soon because I need to migrate all the data in fact pretty much any video you watch on this channel was on here at one point it's all thanks to this little thing so yes it is backed up but we have to migrate about 200 gigs of data to the new drives still but fast let us insert the beautiful new send disk right so let's line it up here we got our pins and we'll just kind of flip it around and actually do it right just kind of dock it like if we're gonna Paulo 13 or something and clunk there we go so that's basically the docking procedure and now let's screw in the screws just to kind of restrained it a bit make sure it stays safe keep the screws separate here something's not working here now it's going down to yourself keep yourself sane while you screw in the bodies whoa like kind of dirty I was talking about like screw bodies is that a thing anyway so yes the drive is now in here very good and now let's put it back in the enclosure which I don't exactly remember how it was I believe the screws would face down to line up with with that so kind of like that and then this doohickey will line up see Thunderbolts that way so this way I'm trying not to obstruct the view for those plane at home the crazy Ken home game Home Edition gosh oh it's not going in all the way hahaha dirty jokes let's ignore those yeah it's not going in all the way on this side yeah it's something's not lining up right over there well I actually think that's as far in as it can go because I'm pushing against it and it doesn't seem to want to move in any further so I think that's negligible and we will move on with that if you work for NASA you probably don't want to say that this is a NASA alright so now we just take our shock absorber and we fiddle this back in there yeah there we go orange is the new orange so now we got our awesome little adapter kit and you can screw in the drives as well for security but we're only putting this drive on here for a migration and then that's it so I'm not gonna bother with that so basically it's as simple as putting it in like that and Bon Appetit so now this is ready to go off of USB into a computer for migration okay so be lossy is all put together and plugged in and boom that is exactly what I wanted to happen so let's make sure it's working okay so since this drives and I've been used before we do need to initialize it and it looks like we have SanDisk that's right so far 512 gigs so it's got the storage space and everything down that's good all right so let the erase button to format this basically and we'll use Mac OS extended journaled and give it the same name as the other one and erase and there we go right on the desktop so now we have a brand new 512 gig SSD external with Thunderbolt ready to use and ready to migrate okay so I
