5 Reasons to NEVER Buy a 'Portable SSD'!

[@TechReflex]

Forgot that laptop users also exist. You can of course also swap your SSD between your laptop and enclosure, use SSD from old laptop, etc.

Superb video !! Not the same stereotypical tech content!

[@kovelamanas9905]

DO these enclosure types work just like the portable ones? Also why do those even exist ? iF one can just slap an enclosure on an internal ssd

[@TechReflex]

@@kovelamanas9905 Yeah, they just work like portable ones. 'Those' exist, because majority of people aren't technologically aware enough to select an SSD and put it into an enclosure.

[@kovelamanas9905]

@@TechReflex ohh so companies just making money off our laziness, the cost was nearly double between both until 2024. Thanks for the info. I'll purchase ssd if i require with a enclosure just as you suggested

[@ChandanSingh-tu4zk]

Bro please upload videos more frequently. We just love it.

[@Averageguy007]

If i just want to use it as an external ssd then for the same price is buying an external ssd better than an nvme with enclosure since I'll be limited by the usb speed anyways? I'm considering buying either the Kingston xs1000 or a wd sd580 with a pibox enclosure. I'm leaning towards Kingston because it seems more reliable in terms of build and service. But I'm not sure . Can you give suggestions.

[@TechReflex]

@@Averageguy007 from what I can see online, SN580 has a 340 GB SLC Cache, while XS1000 has around 150 GB SLC Cache, which is a serious difference. So yeah, buying SN580 is still better, but if you really want a more compact form factor, the Kingston SSD will also be fine. Not sure if the difference in SLC Cache will make a difference for you.

Hi bro i am follow you for a long time your contact is always hit me. I want to know if my budget is 80k what things i consider mac mini m4 or making a custom pc. My English is not good😅

[@TechReflex]

@@UttamKumar-q5f Hey thanks. Mac Mini is a really great computer, and a very good alternative to custom PCs, if you don't want to game. If you are okay with its base model, it's perfect, but if you need more storage, then custom PC starts becoming a better choice.

[@mdiqubal2556]

Did you take into consideration Samsung portable SSD's which come with shockproof cases and water-resistant ones and what about the speeds have you tried Samsung T7 or T9 ext. SSD's please do try them to have a better perspective. Thanks

[@TechReflex]

Yeah I did take that into consideration. 40Gbps enclosures are at least 50% faster than Samsung T9 3.2 Gen 2x2 SSDs. There are also shockproof and waterproof enclosures available if you want that. Though, M.2 SSDs are naturally drop resistant, because they are light weight, have no moving parts, and the general casing of a enclosure is good enough to make them survive general drops, but for more serious drops, one can go for enclosures with more resistance.

[@cineconify]

an excellent topic to make a video on!

[@waveior]

Hey bro, in your Hyperx Solocast mic review video - you also used it with an ipad. I have a macbook with only usd c ports [no usb A]. So, will this mic work with USB c to c apple cable that comes with adapter? Can i use it with mac? Please reply...Thanks

[@catalyst9259]

I agree with all of your points, me too got a ssd enclosure and a WD Black ssd, I will upgrade my enclosure soon

[@VeerottamKulshrestha]

If I buy an SSD enclosure for $ $100, then why don't I buy a 1tb Portable SSD for the same or less price?

@@mahfujahmad2097$100 is price for USB 4 enclosure, 10Gbps enclosures are much cheaper, like 7 to 10 USD

Yes

@@madhavan2002 Yeah, also showed that in video. Point to keep in mind is that Smartphones don't support writing to NTFS format (reading works), so use exFAT if you're gonna use with phone and write, otherwise use NTFS.

Sandisk SSDs are really horrible. I got a 980 pro 2 years back with the PiBox Enclosure, It's been amazing.

[@Berserkism]

I have no issues with them.

[@varunprakash3764]

@@Berserkism I have had with one I ordered a long time ago plus got a replacement. It struggled to reach 200MB/s over thunderbolt plus frequent disconnects over a period of time. It maybe convenient for short time copy pasting but for some extensive workloads it’s not recommended.

[@TechReflex]

SanDisk SSDs being bad is really surprising, considering they are owned by WD. As I mentioned, they seem to have cheaped out on the actual internal SSD, there are SO many reports of them crashing all over the internet.

[@varunprakash3764]

@@TechReflex I would never go back to using SanDisk/WD/Seagate. I use Crucial and Samsung SSDs, They have been far more reliable, with Samsung 970EvoPlus being in my laptop to my gaming PC now since 2019.

instructions unclear, put my ssd on phone stand and nothing happened Jokes aside, this is a great video. Just a shame that 2230 drives are still so expensive, otherwise you could just build a 1tb "pendrive" that's of proper high quality and doesn't need a dangling cable.

Is Orico o7000 ssd reliable?

[@TechReflex]

It's quite performant, but I am not sure if it'll be as reliable as WD. Since you can get both in similar price range, I'd go with Orico if I really want the extra 2000MB/s, but I'd go with WD if reliability is more important than performance for me.
