Normal hdd can achieve sustained rw 200-250 MB/sec

Take cheaper ssd 1TB or 2TB is ok, need too high end.

NVMe Samsung 950 Pro 1TB & WD SN850 1TB is the best so far, tested both.

What do you think if I upgrade my current 1TB NVME to SX8200 Pro 2TB? Then the current 1TB NVME put in a casing as an external drive?  sweat.gif
