Anyone using or has used an SSD as an external portable drive? Is it worth doing so or is it better to go mechanical in that regard?

You can, it will default to SATA II speeds. I am using a SATA 3 SSD atm hooked up to SATA 2.

Totally! The bottleneck will be the SATA2 controller. But, this will still give you a better HD performance than standard Disk HDs.

The speed of this drive is up to 550Mb/s and the SATA II speed only capped at a little below 300Mb/s. It's a waste buying this drive and just use it for SATA II

I've heard your data from your SATA III SSD can overheat as it suddenly gets compressed when it bottlenecks at the slower SATA II port. Will I have to use TRIM, or will my laptop cooler be enough?
