You are right. There are better alternatives and with the WD deal plus a decent external case, the total is actually less than $130. But this one is all set, so it’s more convenient for some.

Can this be shucked? Thinking about using this either as a SSD drive for my computer (via sata cable) or for my QNAP NAS. Thanks.

Is there a mistake in the article that it should say 380 seconds to transfer 100GB? If it was 38 seconds would imply well over 1GB per second.

in general the case for DRAM is
1: less wear and tear
2: faster access
is the wear and tear a factor when used externally like this USB
