you might be able to find cheaper

unless you have a hot air station I doubt you will be able to remove the old one

Wow, I'm surprised you were able to find that

Chinkshit truly is magical

those aren't the same

his appears to have the 4 extra pins

and are also different plastic shape

can someone give me the quick rundown on chink external SSDs? i don't feel like paying the samsung premium

just buy a western ssd and an enclosure, ssds are getting cheaper now

almost $100/tb

do you want a tierlist or something

i'm looking to run a distro on it

can't you just use a usb 3.0 flashdrive

can't you achieve better speeds with an external ssd?

i think in any case you're limited by whatever you're connected by

so just usb 3

doesn't usb 3 top out at like 5 gbps?

it seems like the type of storage would be the limiting factor

o ya

then i guess you should get an ssd if you want fast

@Stims 5 gbps = 625MB/s

that's below most SSDs sequential read speeds

fucking bits and bytes

well 3.1 supports 10 gbps

so 1250

yes but then you need an enclosure that supports that

and ports on your pc

don't buy chink SSDs

decent brands are the same price now that 3d nand went on sale

adata SU650 is like £17 for 120GB and £30 for 240GB

it's cheaper than USB flash

Crucial 1TB for 120€

I used SD/micro SD/USB flash (samsung) and they all wear out

just don't buy cheap flash memory when SSDs are so cheap

£17.50

yep and crucial mx500 are on sale recently

get a usb3->sata enclosure for $5 on ali
