What is better?

>>107002163I'm looking for new external storage over USB. I've been looking through prebuilt external SSDs and turns out most of them are either cheap trash with reject NAND, garbage controllers and overheating cases or just overpriced.In comparison an SSD enclosure lets me chose any quality NVMe SSD by myself and put it in a box.But there are several problems with this approach:1. I don't know which controllers most of these enclosures use. They could be cheap garbage as well.2. NVMe SSDs are not made to be powered over USB wattage. What if they have an amp spike, but the USB connection can not provide it? Will my data gets killed?Reliability and data safety is more important for me than pure speed. I hope some Anons have some knowledge on this topic and can help me out.tldr: Are there good and reliable SSD enclosures on the market? Or are prebuilt SSDs the better option?
>>107002217Used usb external enclosure when my original motherboard was kill, it wasn't killed, only used it for a day though
>>107002246>only used it for a day thoughI'm looking for something long term.Thanks for your reply!
>>1070022171M2 is breddy gud but priceyEC-SNVE for the cheap option
>>107002287>1M2 is breddy gud but pricey>EC-SNVE for the cheap optionWhat does any of this mean
>>107002287>>107002335Oh it's this one>Sabrent EC-SNVE USB 3.2 Type-C Tool-Free Enclosure for M.2 PCIe NVMe and SATA SSDs What chipset does it use?That other enclosure is definitely too expensive for me.
>>107002365seems to use RTL9210B
>>107002365Doesn't make a difference. Anything is better than a spinny hard drive, even a regular flash drive
>>107002163Enclosures all the day.An external SSD is a single entity, if it fails, it fails.If the converter in the enclosure fails, your data is still fine.
I hate m.2
>>107002510why
>>107002413Is that one of the good or bad ones? I've also seen JMicro and Asmedia chipsets
>>107002163do you fags realize SSD must be powered at least once per couple of years or it will start to lose data? External SSD means it will be stored somewhere and you will forget to use itsame thing happened to me Samsung Sata SSD, i booted the PC up after 8years of not using it and OS was so corrupted it did not booted
>>107003178I need one because I need to use it
>>107002163Just get an SSD
>>107002163the samsung is the better choice. i've been impressed with it.>>107002365just like almost all of these NVME enclosures, they don't provide adequate cooling. including this sabrent one, which I own.
