Why this vs component parts?
Like a WD plus NVME plus case costs the same and can grow and scale. The case ends up being long term sustainable and the drives can be moved to other computers as...

And that's an NVMe drive, at least twice as fast as this drive if not 4-5x depending on USB version. This deal is not slick.

You still come out a little bit ahead if you buy pny and 6x and 3x thing holds true.
So, you buy 3x pny for $90, you get 1.5x working.
If you buy wd for $90, you only get 1x working.

I agree, and that's all true, and I would use an enclosure, for sure. However there are reasons.
1.) Western Digital charges a premium, because they are highly regarded.
2.) Some people just...

The PNY 480gb is $32 at eBay. This is $90, that is $60 more after tax. You can almost buy 3 PNY with $90.

First time commenting and not a technical person like many of you here.
The Samsung T7 is $80. Why would one choose this over the T7? Thanks in advance!

There's an article that compares this WD my passport to a Samsung T5, and although they were very similar, the T5 was slightly faster.

Awesome analysis. For my immediate purpose which is to have a storage media to save a system image as well as a bootable clone, you have clarified that a SATA SSD should be adequate. I also...
