    I hunted around just yesterday for an external ‘drive’ and there are some brands I avoid but it’s hard as about every search result is either “BUY IT HERE” or “100 best external drives 2023” or “Usb devices come in a long range of different ways to let users both use them as a way to store, but also access and back up important information, might it be … (AARGH)” …

    I hope I went ok with a crucial X9 Pro 1TB (109€ shipping included). I won’t be using it a lot, mostly for swapping around data (second kids getting my 2600X 2060RTX).

    Well well here I am explaining things a bit too much, but almost by the fireplace, thanks for listening and good night ❤️.

        Too late :-) but then you have to get a good case without flimsy fittings and good speed. You also now have two points of failure sort of.

        Shouldn’t it be cheaper though?

          Same as in the external SSD, except you can’t replace just one part there.

          Price, dunno. Never had issues with speed or fittings, just read the description.
