This is no big deal when you need only a half a terabyte, but when you need 10 TB SSD would cost you an extra $500: https://www.newegg.com/black-wd101fzbx-10tb/p/N82E16822234427 https://www.newegg.com/kingston-a400-960gb/p/0D9-001B-00164 SteveT --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Re: portable ssd
I think USB 3 --> SATA is much slower than connecting directly to the motherboard, but an SSD connected this way is still faster than a 7200rpm HDD. I would buy any internal (e.g. TeamGroup) 2.5" SSD and connect it sata to USB and then you basically have a regular flash drive but much bigger. Format NTFS for regular windows flash drive or ext4 if you're just using on Linux 路♂️. I have found if you don't properly unmount NTFS, that tends to corrupt things worse than others Sep 4, 2022 06:40:17 Michael via PLUG-discuss : > I think another advantage is that there are no mechanical parts to wear out. > > On Sun, Sep 4, 2022 at 4:18 AM Phil Waclawski via PLUG-discuss > wrote: >> The one advantage of an SSD vs a spinning USB Hard drive is that you can >> bump an SSD drive without worrying about the drive crashing, regardless of >> speed. >> Drawback is you usually want to keep it at most about 70% full so it can do >> proper wear levelling >> Phil W >> >> On Sat, Sep 3, 2022 at 11:43 PM Michael via PLUG-discuss >> wrote: >>> I’m not considering usb2/3/4.

Re: portable ssd
The one advantage of an SSD vs a spinning USB Hard drive is that you can bump an SSD drive without worrying about the drive crashing, regardless of speed. Drawback is you usually want to keep it at most about 70% full so it can do proper wear levelling Phil W On Sat, Sep 3, 2022 at 11:43 PM Michael via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I’m not considering usb2/3/4.
