You will be waiting forever, because the 2TB Sandisk Extreme at Costco, or anywhere else for that matter, will never be $142 this generation. LMAO

(1) If you have a link to a 2TB external drive from a reputable brand that is currently sold for $35, please let us know.
(2) SSD drives are much lighter, smaller and quieter (or actually silent), requires lower power supply
(3) SSD drives are much less likely to be damaged by shock
(4) external SSD drive usually use USB-C rather than micro B which is convenient
(5) SSD drives are, obviously, faster
(6) SSD drives can be a good alternative to paying a premium to upgrade the internal storage of a laptop. For a MacBook Pro, upgrading to 2TB costs $800, but if one doesn't mind carrying and plugging in a small external drive like this, they would save $650 and still get very decent read/write speed.

There are many use cases for external SSDs in a professional setting. Not to mention as Xbox external drive. If you only store movies and keep it at home, fine, no need for this, but for anyone who actually needs to carry this around, SSD is much better than HDD

This is previous generation with half of the maximum write/read speed. It is ok to use as storage and data transfer. I will wait for the Sandisk extreme from Costco to go on sale again at the same price for 1TB

Will the system see this as a removable drive or fixed? I thought the Samsung one on USB-C appears like a fixed drive.

You're unlikely to be significantly limited by write speed. IOPs will matter more, but pretty much any SSD isn't really the limiting factor for how snappy a system feels. It's going to be RAM or operating system that matters more.

EDIT: My desktop computer in 2011 running Windows 7 was "snappier" than anything I have today. MS Office and new windows opened instantly.

it's O/S dependent but most will see this as removable. Some systems see externals as fixed if they're attached at boot time

That's what I was looking for. So we can expect speeds falling off a cliff once the cache is exhausted?

That's what I figured. I'll have to test it out.

Don't see the point of the price hike on a SS external drive. For storage just get a regular external drive for 1/4 the price.
