I've been waiting for a 2TB SSD with the enclosure included or with a cheap enough price to add an enclosure and still be at the $100 price point to replace an old 2TB G-Drive I have. This finally dropped below the usual sale price of $120. I bit and thought others might want to jump in as well.

Your comment cannot be blank.

It would be if this were actually a TB3 or TB4 interface. The speed limitation is probably not the drive, but the fact that it's USB 3.1 Gen 2, which is limited to 10 GBPS, whereas thunderbolt 3 and 4 max out at 40 GBPS.

Still not a bad deal considering that decent USB 3.1 Gen 2 NVMe enclosures run about $20.

Overstock.com has it for the same price [bedbathandbeyond.com], in case you've got credit there.

Too late. You know the SD mantra: buy first, think later.

I was told that SSDs can be used in a Tesla but not sure if this one would work!
Has anyone used it or researched about it?
Currently using on my MY, 2 partitions, format as FAT/exFat. Using 1st partition for video, 2nd for mp3.

Yeah, I use an SSD in my MY as well. As the other person said, just format it as two drives. I think Ext4 or Fat32 both work.

Quote from samsus :
At wok we have ~25 Thinkpad laptops, most 8th gen intel, some newer. 4 of the NVME drives failed, 2 of them were the LEN(ovo), 2 of them the low end WD drives. All 4 crapped out within the first few weeks. 3 of them were easy replacements, they just shipped the new drives to us in a few days and we returned the old ones. The 2nd out of the 4 bad one was a PIA for whatever reason with warranty, took 2 months to resolve, and had to send in the bad drive first. I did the same warranty process every time.
In some cases, they do ship with Samsung drives but I found when ordering with min specs its always Union Memory, which as I said, I pull and replace with Samsung or Crucial. I notice with the Union Memory NVME that shipped with the 8th gen Intel laptop, Lenovo is always updating the firmware.

Was able to get an order for three in.

These drives transfer much faster than the Crucial X8
