looking into getting a 2TB portable SSD that runs on USB. It seems 2TB portable SSD are around RM800-900. Should I consider buying a case and use a M.2 SSD instead? It seems far cheaper
What are the pros and cons if any? Thanks in advance hmmmm...I just checked the prices again and seems they are almost comparable....I must have seen some fake M.2 previously  This post has been edited by N9484640: May 18 2025, 09:39 AM |

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ May 19 2025, 02:43 PM) I would say portable SSD would be marginally better as the hardware is design to be hardier to handling, external force & shocks, the shell casing would also likely be water & dust resistant/proof vs easy enclosures that lack rubber gasket. Good point. I never thought of that. Thanks for your input. I think at this point a 2TB SSD will be too expensive for me. Gonna go for regular HDD. |
