EZ way to break your USB ports on the computer with that sticking out the way it does. Ask me how I know.... LOL
Dang memory prices are barely falling. Need at least 4tb nowadays. 1tb isn't as much as it was years ago! Files are so much bigger, even if you archive them.
This has DRAM

One of the recent reviews gives a huge, fascinating evaluation of the device and its purposes and limitations I heartily recommend looking that up.

Considering what I paid for 500 gig external drives, that's a good deal. And with a USB extension cable, it would be very versatile

Functionally, no. Technically… maybe.

It's all one unit, like every other external SSD.

If you just need an NVME external enclosure or even a hot swap dock, they make those too.

This looks like a great option to store two COD games! Maybe even just one when the new version comes out 🤪

can make it yourself, it will be faster speed and also have dram. $15 more.

https://www.amazon.com/1/dp/B07Z4J96C9/ = $70
https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-NVMe...08G14NBCS/ = $15 (often goes for $10)

speeds theoretically 1200MB/S (and it will have better random 4k read/writes)

benefit to this deal (op) is the lack of cable, and the small size.
both of these will heat up to uncomfortable temps

I bought one of these

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0...asin_title

IMO these are way more convenient because you don't have to deal with cables. It has usb A on one side and usb C on the other side. It's essentially a multi purpose nvme usb thumb drive. I just had a spare 500gb sk hynix drive laying around and it's been solid for the last year

I rather just go with a Samsung T1 or something similar, interchangeable usb cables and you don't have to worry about this USB-A ever breaking.

Anything wrong with using this as an external backup instead of getting an actual external hard drive?

How long are you talking about leaving it alone?

I've seen stuff, recently, about not using SSDs for long term back ups, becaus ethey need electricity to keep the data and that eventually fizzles out, unless connected to power every so often. Interesting, if you'd like to look it up.
