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.
I think another advantage is that there are no mechanical parts to wear out.

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

I’m not considering usb2/3/4. I’m thinking about when I upgrade my
computer. Right now I’m usb2. I know it will be slow that it might as well
be a spinner.

Especially if the controller supports UASP. *Huge* speed increase.

I think I was the one who said that, but it was in regard to USB2. I think
It was the default windows file system that came with it, as I have to deal
with MS Windows computers at work, I don't format them ext4. But this is
the first time I've had an issue.

Was the filesystem Ext4? I've had a lot of
