Or use an external disk for doing exchanges. Mind, rotating rust speed can be in that range for some disks. 5400 rpm, connected via slow usb2...
I never suspected that this would get me into trouble but it did with a usb/sata adapter not working with disks that were not prepared using it so that a disk prepared in my desktop mobile tray cannot be plugged into the usb port of the laptop with a usb/sata adapter. I wonder why computers don't all have at least one external sata port? I do have a 128gb usb stick but may have to buy a large usb external drive.
ESATA ports went out of fashion maybe a decade ago.
An external SSD disk in an USB3 enclosure could be just the thing. Just half a terabyte or one terabyte have an appropriate price. I use one to transfer files between two computers at different locations, and to keep files when travelling with my laptop.
I do not trust sticks.
For larger sizes, I use rotating rust.
in a usb3 enclosure? never heard of this (speak of rust)
You mean any ssd disk in a usb3 enclosure? What would be the point of placing an already external ssd in a usb3 enclosure? If I can do that with a regular internal ssd then it might fly, I just wouldn't wanna spend beer money on something that can only go back and forth but never inside
You can buy an SSD disk or a rotating rust disk (aka plain magnetic disk, aka traditional hard disk). Both SSD or magnetic disks are identical in appearance. Both have a SATA port and a DC power port. None have USB ports. Both are intended to be put "inside". Both can be put in an enclosure.
Yes, thank you, I'm aware of this, been doing it for ages
Or you can buy a hard disk inside an USB enclosure, ready made:
This too, and this is what I do not want, just ordered a usb3 enclosure good for 2.5 as well as 3.5 :-)
