I'd be careful with using the T7 shield for ProRes. Yes it will work but if you try 4K60 in LOG and it will drop frames, the footage is unusable.

I tested the most popular SSDs from Amazon using my Windows PC, an Apple M1 Max MacBook Pro, M2 iPad Pro, M2 Mac Mini, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I did use benchmark tools but I also did some realistic, large data transfers between these devices and the SSDs. The results vary wildly, but I share all the data here in this video. You can even use some of these faster ones on your Tesla
