This is not how it works... You have half gig speed meaning 0.5 gigaBITs per second. This is read/write at 1 gigaBYTE per second.

There are 8 bits in 1 byte. So if you want to compare the speed, it would actually be ~16x slower to download vs transfer from this drive into internal PS5/XSX console.

dang they added another $20 discount while it's supposed to be on discount this month? i've never seen that at costco. Can anyone confirm? I also just purchased one at costco this week. Gonna go see if I can return or get price matched.

I'm going to be using it for both the PS5 and XSX. You can store PS4 and PS5, XB1 and XSX games on it, but you can't play the next-gen games from these. You just have to move them back to the internals.

Is the Wavlink TB3 only or is it USB 3.x Gen2 compatible? And 1TB SN750 for $75 was an awesome deal!
I think the enclosure was $75, not the SN750

Quote from Henrythewound :
I was thinking of building up a NVME drive in an external enclosure for another drive for a Mac Mini I just ordered. This seems cheaper than messing with all that
You could get this enclosure:

https://www.amazon.com/Enclosure-...ics&sr=1-5

And add any NVMe drive you want, like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-SN550...B07YFFX5MD

The SN550 was on sale for $84 ish on a few weeks back I think. So total is around $100, and you could always swap out and put different NVMe drives in. It's really easy, and you can have access to multiple NVMe drives, rather than being stuck with one. But I suppose you do lose the "rugged"ness and all that, so up to you.

Quote from sohaltang :
This is only logical if you have slow internet. I got half a gig down so this would only half the speed vs downloading. If it's a game you play often you likely won't be moving it back and forth often. $100 to maybe save me 10 or 15 minutes very very occasionally is IMO a waste of money.
A byte is 8 bits, so it's 16x faster, not 2x. And Xbox, steam, ps usually only serve content at a fraction of that anyways. This will smoke your 500mb internet.

Waiting for Costco to carry the 2TB model. Or a larger SSD external drive. The Seagate 5TB 2.5" external drives are okay, but it would be nice to go solid state for offline backup due to no moving parts, not speed.

I don't think it's worth it, especially at a similar price without much saving. I have an (aluminum) enclosure, and it sometimes loses its contact so I have to open the case and push the card again. If you drop it, it will be quite easily broken. And probably heavier even for plastic cases.

You're right, the poster said $75 for the enclosure but then said his total outlay was $150 Smilie

The tool-less ones have poor tie downs but the ones where you screw the SSD down are very reliable.

I have a Jeyi like that and am now looking for an enclosure that will do both TB3 (work laptop) and USB 3.2 Gen 2 (personal laptop)

Costco has the 2TB version. Not on sale though.

Xbox Series X | S
Only downside is the "previous gen" SATA SSD's (~500 Mb/s) perform the same as "current gen" NVME SSD's (~1000 Mb/s) on the Xbox Series. Limitation of the controller IIRC for both transferring games & load times for playing directly off. Both massively outperform External HDD's (~150 Mb/s).

But at this price it's only a few bucks more that SATA external SSD's so a no brainer if you ever swap it out and use this on your computers. Then you will drastically notice the speed increase if you start large files.

What a great price! - does anyone think within the next 6 months this would drop more in pricing? Just curious. What someone else's thoughts are.

now with that being said for everyone who's asking about the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

This will not be as fast nor as "up to date" as your current next gen consoles internal drive - those are proprietary and they limit what external drive you use and what it is capable of running.

Hmm interesting. That one that I have hasn't had that problem, so idk. To me, it's cheaper since I get flexibility and I can toss in another NVMe drive whenever I want.
