Twice as fast as most internal SSDs. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:942117233] in So I turne...

DarkRoast 07/14/20 8:15:31 PM #5:	CommunismFTW posted... Why not get an m.2 or nvme? I do. I put an NVME m.2 2 TB drive (Samsung Evo Plus) into my laptop. This was the old m.2 nvme drive. I got an enclosure just so I could clone the drive to the new one, but for kicks and giggles I decided to test the speed as an external drive after wiping it, and I mean - the results are just amazing for an external drive. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:942117461] in So I turne...

Nice. That's dope. Yeah, USB 3.2 or whatever is wicked fast. Not a bad idea.

Wasn't planning on using it after the cloning, but I think I'm gonna keep it. --- Well allons-y, Alonso! <cite>DarkRoast posted [p:942137605] in So I turne...
