sorted byGood deal especially where small physical size is primary consideration, rather than the top speeds. (edited)
For convenience, this would be a nice deal still, providing it's not a QLC NAND drive (being Crucial, I have a feeling it is).
EDIT:
A quick search revealed it is QLC NAND. If you plan on writing over it frequently, I'd suggest buying seperate TLC NAND drive/enclosure or going for a different external drive. (edited)
Form factor is not important for me with the purpose that I am buying it for right now.
So do I get something like an mx500 and enclosure?
Any advice on enclosures? Or does it not matter much?
EDIT:
Or perhaps its better to get an NVMe enclosure? I dont know much about NVMe though.
The ASUS TUF A1 enclosure looks fantastic although quite pricy. (edited)
Fine for older XBox One or 360 games, or copying things off the internal drive, although large writes might slow down if it's full.
edit: SSDs are now more reliable than hard drives | PCWorld (edited)
Or was that via a You Tube video instead?
I forget. :-D
Hmmmmmmmmmm. :-)
Much as I luvvvvvvvvv my pen drive's and suchlike's (and I do have a few too), I'm still of the personal opinion, that HDD's are more reliable, regardless, sorry (and yeh, I have a few of them as well).
I believe it's the shear resilience of the mechanical moving parts of the HDD, that have been honed over a period of least 30+ Year's now?, that's made it so, or whatever?
But either way, that's just my opinion, same way. :-D
It can not do continuous high speed write but for the price can’t complain (edited)
Hehehehehehe.
Either that, or, Crucial's 4TB portable variant, will be closer to the £150 mark, or something?
One can only dream, I guess? :-D
