QUOTE(yamin07 @ Oct 6 2025, 03:15 PM) TS have you consider using external ssd enclosure? Nowadays 1tb nvme ssd and below quite cheap. Kingston nv3, crucial p3, silicon power, wd green or msi spatium can get around rm200 for 1tb size. Pair it with any external m.2 enclosure and you can get a reliable external storage with better speed than hdd. I open a thread last time in here about this: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5503404/+20This is something new to me, will investigate. I looked in Shopee and some of the case for these external SSD is quite expensive, more than RM100. Maybe I looked wrongly. Anyway I've received some recommendations or alternatives to Sandisk flash drives on another thread. It's the Transcend ESD310C and Samsung Bar Plus which look quite interesting.

I open a thread last time in here about this: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5503404/+20After talking to some IT experts, I have decided to get a Kingston 1TB NVMe SSD and get a UGreen case for it. The Oricon case looks less elegant although it's slightly cheaper. As for the flash drives, will likely get some also, may try the Transcend apart from Kingston. Thanks for the tip.

This is how the case looks like, rather elegant and nicer than the Oricon equivalent.

those storage chips have thermal management if too hot, it will slow down
metal case has advantage, in terms of performance, durability and longevity
